Revolut's revenue surged to £3.1bn last year
The company's customer base grew by 38pc globally last year to reach 52.5 million by the end of 2024, Revolut said. This meant it overtook HSBC, which had 41 million customers last year according to the bank's annual report.
London-based Revolut said interest income grew to £790m last year from £500m in 2023, as more customers used the platform for savings and deposits. The company also offers foreign exchange, crypto and other trading services.
'We not only accelerated our customer growth, welcoming nearly 15 million new users globally, but critically, we also saw customers engaging more deeply by adopting a wider range of our services,' CEO Nik Storonsky said in the statement.
The company aims to expand further in the coming year as it prepares to complete its mobilisation phase to become a fully-fledged bank in the UK. The firm expects to have 200 UK bank staff by year end, Bloomberg News previously reported.
Revolut will launch its Mexican bank in the coming months, recently received its Prepaid Payment Instruments (PPI) licence from India's central bank, and has 10 other licence applications underway around the world.
'We're making strong progress towards 100 million daily active customers across 100 countries,' Mr Storonsky said.
The accounts confirmed 2,200 current and former employees participated in the company's secondary share sale last year, allowing them to liquidate a portion of their vested equity. The event gave the firm a $45bn valuation.
Revolut confirmed its new backers include Coatue, Baillie Gifford, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Mubadala and Affinity Partners.
Auditor BDO signed off the accounts, without any of the caveats that had dogged Revolut in previous years. Revolut reported a record pre-tax profit of £1.1bn, climbing from £438m. Combined credit losses in lending and non-lending products grew slightly to £51m from £46.6m.

Operation renovation: ‘We have a house in Donegal but nowhere in Dublin, and we only had 12 weeks before returning home – it was definitely down to the wire'
Operation renovation: 'We have a house in Donegal but nowhere in Dublin, and we only had 12 weeks before returning home – it was definitely down to the wire' Before their move home, a Dubai-based couple gave themselves just three months to transform a neo-Tudor Wicklow townhouse into a modern sanctuary Owner Anne Marie McGettigan in Hollybrook House, Co Wicklow. Photo: Ruth Calder-Potts Orla Neligan Today at 03:30 It takes gumption and a good dose of savvy self-assurance to buy a house sight unseen. A home, after all, is an emotional purchase with intangibles such as how it makes you feel as soon as you walk through the door, or whether it's structurally sound, not to mention the hefty cost should you get it wrong.

Hopes of significant UK funding allocation for Casement Park
The UK's Chanceller of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves is to set out her spending review in the House of Commons later today. Many are hoping that a significant allocation towards the construction of Casement Park in west Belfast will be included. The stadium, the home of Antrim GAA, has been derelict for over a decade. It is estimated that the project will cost £260 million (€296.9 million), less than half of which is already in place. The Irish Government has pledged around £43 million (€51 million), the Stormont Executive £62.5 million (€74.2 million) and the GAA £15 million (€17.8 million). A shortfall of £140 million remains. It was hoped that the stadium could have been redeveloped for Euro 2028 but this did not come to pass. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said afterwards that he wanted an "alternative proposition". Many, including in the GAA, are quietly hopeful that a significant sum will be provided later today. However, the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves is facing huge spending demands from across Whitehall. Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Hilary Benn, has been among cabinet members pushing for increased funding for his department, including money for Casement Park. However, Mr Benn has previously stated too that the UK government cannot plug the full £140 million gap. The Stormont Executive committed to redeveloping Casement Park in 2011 as part of a strategy to revamp football's Windsor Park and the rugby ground at Ravenhill. While the two other Belfast-based projects went ahead, the redevelopment of Casement was delayed. Intense lobbying efforts have been underway in recent times, with Ulster GAA visiting Westminster last week, to press politicians on the need to include a significant allocation in today's spending review. Last week Northern Ireland's First Minister Michelle O'Neill also called on the British government to provide substantial funding to help rebuild Casement Park. Taoiseach Micheál Martin stated last September that he would not rule out further money being provided by the Irish Government. The 34,500 capacity stadium has planning permission until July 2026 so it is hoped construction can start before then. This afternoon's Spending Review will be a pivotal moment for the UK government, as it maps out its day-to-day spending and investment plans for much of the remainder of the parliament. Defence, health and infrastructure are likely to be prioritised, in what is otherwise a constrained spending package.

New cheese plant in Boherbue marks €15m investment in rural Cork
The new plant is owned by Ingredient Solutions Ltd., one of Ireland's leading cheese solution providers, and sits on a 7-acre site in Boherbue, close to the company's existing plant. Founded in 2000, the company now exports to over 40 countries. Around four times larger than the current site and with five production lines, the new plant will enable the company to scale from 12,000 to 27,000 tonnes of produce annually, with future expansion potential to 35,000 tonnes, according to Managing Director Gary Davies. With the company currently employing around 100 people, Davies predicted that number will rise by around 50 workers over the next eight to ten years. 'We've built this facility not just to meet today's needs, but to secure our ability to innovate and grow in the years ahead,' he said. Speaking at the opening, Davies said: 'It's a proud day for our staff, our community, and for Ian Galletly, our founder, whose vision brought Ingredient Solutions to life 25 years ago. This facility is the result of his dream—backed by Rupp, AIB, and Enterprise Ireland—and designed to grow with us into the future.' The ribbon-cutting event was attended by government representatives, industry leaders, and local stakeholders, including John Broekmans, CEO of Rupp (Ingredient Solutions' Austrian-based parent company); Cllr Joe Carroll, Lord Mayor of Cork; Cork North-West TD Michael Moynihan, and Cllr Bernard Moynihan, while Fr. Jim Kennelly blessed the facility. The Rupp CEO highlighted the company's long-term commitment to the locality: 'This factory is more than bricks and stainless steel. It's a promise—to our employees, our customers, and to Boherbue. We are here for the long term. Together, we are building not just cheese, but a future.' Broekmans acknowledged the deep ties between Rupp and Ingredient Solutions since the 2022 acquisition, calling the new facility 'a continuation of the legacy we've built together. This moment represents not just a new chapter for our company, but it's also a renewed commitment to the community that has stood by us for twenty-five years." Cllr Moynihan spoke about the long journey to the opening of the new plant, recalling early planning meetings, community backing, and the essential role of Boherbue Co-Op: 'This factory will export to over 70 countries and generate €100 million in export trade. But more importantly, it's an investment in people—in jobs, in families, and in the future of rural Ireland. Boherbue has always punched above its weight, and today, we take our place on the world stage.' The Kanturk-Mallow Councillor said the recent upgrade to the wastewater treatment plant in Boherbue paved the way to securing the new cheese plant. "The crucial, crucial thing to make this plant happen today was because we had the €9 million-wastewater treatment plant. It's a fantastic investment in Boherbue for housing, for shops, for development, for everything." The upgrade, which was carried out by Uisce Éireann, in partnership with Cork County Council, modernised and improved the performance and capacity of the plant and has improved the quality of treated wastewater discharged into the Brogeen River, a protected conservation area and home to the freshwater pearl mussel. ADVERTISEMENT Learn more Mayor of County Cork, Cllr Joe Carroll, also underlined the importance of the local infrastructure in his words at the opening. "This is a day of celebration not only for Ingredient Solutions but for the entire local community. Cork County Council has been proud to support this development, particularly through our investment in the nine-million-euro upgrade of the wastewater treatment plant here in Boherbue. This critical infrastructure paved the way for growth like we're seeing today, enabling businesses to expand, create jobs and contribute to the local community." Michael Moynihan, Fianna Fail TD for Cork North-West and Minister of State at the Department of Education and Youth, said: 'This is not just a local success story—it's a strategic investment in the future of food production in Ireland and beyond. As the global population grows, Ireland must lead in producing sustainable, high-quality food. This facility proves rural communities like Boherbue are more than ready to meet that challenge.' Production at the new plant is scheduled to begin in July and will consolidate Ingredient Solutions' growing reputation as a global leader in cheese manufacturing. The company has also launched a refreshed version of Ingredient Solutions' Yellow Road brand—named after the English translation of 'Boherbue'—targeting new markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
