Revolut launches Revolut 10 and passes 35m customers worldwide

Revolut, the financial global super app, which has just surpassed 35 million customers globally, has launched Revolut 10, its biggest update yet, with a significant overhaul of the design and layout of the app.

Revolut’s new design is built to make everyday money management as easy as possible, with special focus for those who increasingly use Revolut as their primary account.

Revolut has now surpassed 35 million customers globally, having announced 30 million customers in June earlier this summer. The number of customers in Europe using Revolut as their primary account grows even faster: +90% in the last year.

Key Revolut products and features will be quickly accessible from the home screen, while tools to build wealth, explore saving and investing, and make the most of lifestyle services and offers are available in just one tap.

Pockets is another feature that is integral to using Revolut as a primary account and has been upgraded for the latest version of the app: Pockets work like sub-accounts where customers can secure money upfront to pay for bills. Similar to Vaults in previous versions of the app, they allow customers to put money aside separate from their main account for their spending purposes and to organise their money for essentials like bills and subscriptions. Pockets offer Revolut customers control over their finances, help them to better budget, plan and organise their money.

Charlie Short, Revolut Head of Growth for Australia, said, “Revolut 10 is the biggest step forward yet in helping our customers make Revolut their primary account. We built Revolut 10 to help customers get a clear view of their money in one place and easily navigate through favourite features and products. Built for ease, we hope the updated, clearer design helps our customers explore existing features and products they may not have known were at their fingertips.

“We know every customer is unique and has individual needs, so we’re excited to offer customisation options, including widgets, where customers can specify cards or favourite recipients straight on their home screen to move money with one tap. No matter where you are on your financial journey, Revolut can easily help you manage your money better.”
