Revolut begins secondary share sale at US$75 billion valuation

The deal will cement the company’s status as one of the most valuable fintechs on the planet

Revolut has kicked off a process for some employees to sell their shares in the company at a US$75 billion valuation.

That secondary sale will value each share at US$1,381.06, according to a memo to staff seen by Bloomberg. The company has already fielded demand for the sale from new and existing investors, the memo shows.

The deal will cement Revolut’s status as one of the most valuable fintechs on the planet. It is up from the US$45 billion valuation Revolut received in a secondary share sale last year, and puts the firm’s price tag above the market capitalisation of Barclays, albeit in a private sale rather than on the public markets.

“As part of our commitment to our employees, we regularly provide opportunities for them to gain liquidity,” a spokesperson said in an emailed statement. “An employee secondary share sale is currently in process, and we won’t be commenting further until it is complete.”

London-headquartered Revolut has grown rapidly and served more customers than HSBC Holdings last year, helping the British fintech to boost revenue 72 per cent to US$4 billion and grow its profit. The firm now has more than 60 million customers.

The digital finance company is pursuing further international growth, exploring hiring investment bankers for a possible acquisition in the US in order to gain a banking licence there, Bloomberg previously reported. BLOOMBERG
