Customer growth rate
In February 2018, the London-based company Revolut announced that they had hit 1.5 million customers, a figure that had grown to 3 million by November 14th, 2018. Then, in September 2019, Revolut announced that they had hit 8 million customers, which they had more than tripled by November 2022. Between November 2022 and October 2023, within merely 11 months, Revolut increased its customer base by 10 million, reaching the milestone of 35 million customers. Less than half a year later, in March 2024, Revolut's customer base reached 40 million. Revolut also saw improving financial figures in recent years, with its revenue amounting to close to one billion British pounds in 2022.
Funding of online banks
The value of investment deals in fintech banking startups worldwide increased rapidly for several years. It was not even unusual to see the amount of funding doubling year over year. This was the case in 2017, 2019, and 2021. In 2022, however, the value of investment in banking fintechs fell by 63 percent. This was the first time since 2016 that the value of investment deals decreased.
