UK challenger Revolut has initiated a process allowing employees to sell portions of their shares at a reported valuation of $75 billion, reinforcing its position as Europe’s most valuable private technology company.
According to internal communications seen by Bloomberg, Revolut, founded in 2015 by CEO Nik Storonsky, has already attracted interest from new and existing investors, with shares priced at $1,381.06. Bloomberg reports that its sources familiar with the deal say that staff have the option to liquidate up to 20% of their holdings.
The development follows a $500 million employee share sale last year that valued the company at $45 billion.
A Revolut spokesperson tells FinTech Futures: “As part of our commitment to our employees, we regularly provide opportunities for them to gain liquidity. An employee secondary share sale is currently in process, and we won’t be commenting further until it is complete.”
The increased valuation comes after an eventful 2025 for Revolut, which committed $1.1 billion to its French expansion in May. The company further strengthened its European presence a month later by partnering with EPI to integrate its payment solution Wero. More recently, Revolut announced plans to enter the Argentine market through the acquisition of local lender Banco Cetelem from BNP Paribas.
This activity builds upon Revolut’s strong performance in 2024, when its retail customer base grew 38% to 52.5 million. Transaction volume also increased 52% to $1.34 trillion, while profit before tax reached approximately $1.46 billion.
