Revolut planea una doble cotización en Nueva York y Londres y aspira a "cientos de millones" de clientes

Revolut, the neobank founded by Nik Storonsky, is reportedly planning a dual listing on the London Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq in New York. Nik Storonsky, the CEO of Revolut, confirmed this in an interview with Les Echos. This announcement comes as the Financial Times reported that hackers are demanding $3 million from the British bank to stop them from leaking data from around 680 clients.

Dual listing in London is significant for Revolut due to its headquarters being in the UK and the city's role in preventing the company from falling further behind internationally. However, the dual listing is not yet decided and will depend on the market situation. The U.S. market is important as it includes institutional investors, hedge funds, fund managers, and a large number of individual investors.

Therefore, Revolut prefers the U.S. market over the smaller one with fewer buyers. Storonsky did not mention specific dates, but he previously stated that a listing would not happen before 2028. In their last private stock sale, Revolut was valued at $115 billion. Storonsky stated that the company aims to have several hundred million clients in five years, with the target being 100 million by 2027.

He expressed satisfaction that skeptics were proven wrong regarding the company's ability to obtain licenses, which it has done in France and the UK, with the U.S. license being provisional. Revolut's margins, around 80%, are in line with the technology industry, but their return on capital invested is far ahead due to their technology.
