Revolut started in 2015 with card transactions abroad without rubbish exchange rates or hidden fees. They’ve since added business accounts, vaults, insurance and even access to cryptocurrency exposure.

They reached 10 million customers as they rolled into 2020 and they’re adding another million every quarter.
