UK challenger Revolut has reportedly initiated a process allowing its employees to sell a portion of their shares, valuing the company at $75 billion and further cementing its status as Europe’s most valuable private technology firm. This development, which follows an eventful year for the company, indicates a significant increase from its $45 billion valuation last year.

According to internal communications, sources familiar with the deal indicate that shares are priced at $1,381.06, with employees having the option to liquidate up to 20% of their holdings. Interest from both new and existing investors has been noted for this share sale. The current valuation marks a substantial increase from the $500 million employee share sale conducted last year, which valued Revolut at $45 billion.

Founded in 2015 by CEO Nik Storonsky, Revolut has expanded its operations notably throughout 2025. In May, the company committed $1.1 billion towards its French expansion efforts. A month later, it strengthened its European presence by partnering with EPI to integrate its payment solution, Wero. More recently, Revolut announced plans to enter the Argentine market through the acquisition of local lender Banco Cetelem from BNP Paribas.

These strategic activities build upon Revolut’s strong performance in 2024, during which its retail customer base grew by 38% to 52.5 million. Transaction volume also saw a 52% increase, reaching $1.34 trillion, while profit before tax approximated $1.46 billion.
