Revolut secures full UK banking licence
Change
Revolut received full banking authorisation from the Prudential Regulation Authority, enabling it to offer accounts for retail and business customers.
Why it matters
The Prudential Regulation Authority granted full banking authorisation after an application lodged in 2021 and a prior restricted UK banking licence in 2024. Revolut addressed accounting issues, EU regulatory breaches and reputational concerns prior to receiving full authorisation. The authorisation covers retail and business customer accounts. Revolut will start introducing current accounts to a small number of new customers within days.
