Revolut announced on Monday that Revolut Bank S.A. received a full French banking licence following a joint assessment by the European Central Bank (ECB) and the French prudential regulator (ACPR).

This marks a significant milestone for the online bank and strengthens its position as one of Europe’s biggest retail banks. It also paves the path for further global growth, while allowing the company to focus more on localising its products for different markets.

“This achievement reflects months of close collaboration with the ACPR and the European Central Bank, whose rigorous standards have helped us build the right foundations for long-term growth in the region,” Béatrice Cossa-Dumurgier, CEO Western Europe at Revolut, said in a press release.
