Revolut considering dual listing in New York and London, founder says
Nik Storonsky said Revolut prefers the United States, but the fintech is still considering a dual listing after a $115 billion valuation.
- Revolut CEO Nik Storonsky confirmed on Thursday that the bank is pursuing a dual stock market listing in New York and London, telling French newspaper Les Echos the company prefers the United States.
- The United States offers deeper capital markets and higher stock prices, attracting several British companies away from the London Stock Exchange. Storonsky noted that expanding the brand in the US could boost valuation by allowing customers to participate in the IPO.
- Revolut told investors it is aiming for a valuation of up to $200 billion in a future listing, after reaching a $75 billion valuation at a share sale. The London-based bank serves 80 million customers globally.
- Following regulatory successes in Britain and France earlier this year, Revolut received preliminary approval for a national banking licence in the United States in Sept. This strengthens its position ahead of any eventual listing.
- Any eventual public offering remains at least a year away and depends on prevailing market conditions. The fintech firm's focus stays on executing growth plans while navigating regulatory requirements across the United States and Europe.
