Revolut expansion in Italy

Overview

Revolut has expanded its presence in the Italian market through targeted product launches and significant user growth.

In late September 2026, the fintech company introduced a ‘Student benefits’ package for users aged 18 to 25. This program includes digital subscriptions to services like Canva and ChatGPT Go, alongside financial incentives such as an annual return of up to 2.75% and enhanced loyalty points through the RevPoints program.

By October 2026, Revolut reported surpassing six million customers in Italy, adding one million users since the start of the year. Italy has become the company’s fourth largest market globally and its third largest in Europe, following France and Germany. Financial data indicates that salary deposits have more than doubled year-over-year, and total customer savings have reached over 1.2 billion euros, a nearly fourfold increase from the previous year. While 60% of the Italian user base is under 35, the company noted an increase in older users.

On the corporate side, Revolut Business reported serving over 62,000 companies in the country, representing a 36% annual growth rate. Nicola Vicino, General Manager for Revolut in Italy, stated the company’s ambition is to become the ‘leading bank in the country’. This expansion has led traditional banking leaders, such as UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel, to identify Revolut as a ‘formidable competitor’ to established financial institutions.
