What’s Revolut? 🤔

Revolut is an innovative, people-first fintech founded in London in 2015. Our vision is  to build the world’s first truly global financial super app, allowing consumers to manage all areas of their financial life in one place.

Revolut gives people the power to spend and transfer money without any sky-high and unfair fees. When we launched, our products gained popularity – particularly among Europe’s millennial generation –  for their flexibility and accessibility.

In Japan you can spend and transfer money globally at the real exchange rate, exchange  currencies in-app, use handy peer-to-peer transfer and bill split features, and much more. Plus, we launched the Metal plan in January 2022, which is one of the most highly sought after features among our customers in Japan.
