Revolut’s $1.4B Q2 Revenue 🤯
Hey Digital Banking Fanatic!
🚨 Big number alert: Revolut just posted $1.4 billion in revenue in Q2 — nearly doubling from the same period last year 🤯.
According to investor docs seen by Bloomberg, July alone brought in £373M, followed by £410M in August. That kind of pace puts Revolut on track for £4.1B+ in annual revenue, up from £3.1B in 2024 (when it also booked a record £1.1B pretax profit).
These numbers surfaced as the company is out pitching investors for its next funding round… which brings me to today’s quiz 👇
👉 At what valuation is Revolut working on this fundraise?
A) $45B
B) $60B
C) $75B
D) $100B
You can check the right answer here — and let me know if you nailed it 😉
Cheers,
