Revolut Launches Secondary Share Sale at $7.5 Billion Valuation #
Revolut has kicked off a secondary share sale that values the London-based fintech at around $7.5 billion, according to sources familiar with the process. The deal allows early investors and employees to sell a portion of their existing shares, providing long-awaited liquidity while the company delays a formal IPO. The valuation is lower than the $33 billion peak reached in 2021, but still positions Revolut as one of Europe’s most valuable private fintechs
The sale comes as Revolut continues to pursue a UK banking licence, expand its product suite beyond payments and trading, and grow internationally in regions such as Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Despite regulatory hurdles and tighter capital conditions, Revolut reported rising revenues in 2024, with its diversified offerings—including payments, foreign exchange, savings, and crypto trading—helping sustain growth
Industry observers see the secondary sale as a signal of resilience for European fintech, where valuations have compressed over the past two years. It may also serve as a bridge to a future IPO, with Revolut keen to demonstrate both investor confidence and operational maturity in the run-up to a potential public listing.
