Revolut

Argentina's central bank (BCRA) approved Revolut's purchase of Banco Cetelem Argentina from BNP Paribas Personal Finance, Reuters and Bloomberg reported on Sept. 24, 2026. Revolut plans to rebrand the lender as Revolut Bank Argentina and launch in 2027, with more than 150,000 people on its local waitlist. The approval turns the pending deal into an executable banking-licence entry into a new Latin American market for Revolut.

Revolut cleared the final regulatory hurdle to operate as a bank in Colombia, Reuters reported on 15 September 2026, with the launch planned for 2027 and about 200,000 people already signed up for priority access. It is Revolut's sixth banking licence after Lithuania, Mexico, the UK, France and Australia, and sits alongside conditional US national bank charter approval, a UAE payments licence and a Peruvian organisation licence. The approval adds a new Latin American market behind Revolut's goal of 100M customers by mid-2027, against 2025 revenue of $6B and $2.3B of pre-tax profit.

Revolut said on 16 September 2026 that it has applied to Swiss regulator FINMA for a banking licence, which would let it migrate its 1.3M-plus Swiss customers off Lithuania-licensed Revolut Bank UAB onto a local entity issuing Swiss IBANs. It committed more than CHF 150M over five years to build the Swiss banking structure, local products and jobs, with executive-board and senior appointments planned; CCO David Tirado and Switzerland GM Julian Biegmann framed it as becoming 'a true Swiss bank'. A licence would turn Switzerland into a deposit-funded home market and extend Revolut's licensed footprint.
