Revolut: 75 billion dollars today, up to 200 billion reported for an eventual listing

By Unicorn Private Research. Published and last updated 26 September 2026.

Key takeaways

Revolut publishes audited annual accounts, because British company law makes it, something few companies in this group do. That alone makes it the easiest of the big private fintechs to underwrite. It is also why the gap between its last private price and its reported listing ambition deserves a careful read instead of a shrug.

A business earning 1.7 billion dollars of profit on 6 billion dollars of revenue is a different animal from a loss-making platform. That is why the reported listing range sits so far above the last private price.

The banking licence, and why it changed the case

In March 2026, after years of trying, Revolut left the mobilisation phase and got its full United Kingdom banking licence (tech.eu, 11 March 2026). For a retail financial business that changes the economics. Deposits can be held directly. Lending becomes possible on the bank's own balance sheet. And the regulatory standing that public market investors insist on is in place. Nothing on this page matters more, and it is the reason the reported valuation range moved.

Where an IPO stands

Nothing has been filed. Chief executive Nik Storonsky has said a listing is at least two years away, and the company is reported to be aiming for another secondary share sale above 100 billion dollars in the second half of 2026. That is a company using the private market, not the public one. If you buy today at a private price, assume your exit is a later secondary sale, not a listing.

What a buyer is taking on before a listing

Exposure before a listing

Access is through the secondary market. The November 2025 sale and the further one reported for late 2026 open windows from time to time; they do not add up to continuous liquidity. Unicorn Private buys secondary stakes in established private companies of this size, worth more than one billion dollars and with a business that has proved itself, rather than funding early-stage companies where failure rates are high. With Revolut the published accounts let you judge the position on numbers, not on a story. That is rare in this market, and it is the main reason to pay attention. Unicorn Club, the investor club of Unicorn Private, offers club deals in Revolut through a dedicated vehicle (SPV), for accredited and qualified investors, from 100,000 dollars.

The short answer

Revolut last priced at 75 billion dollars in a November 2025 secondary sale. It reported 6 billion dollars of revenue and 1.7 billion dollars of net profit for 2025 and got its full United Kingdom banking licence in March 2026. The Financial Times has reported an eventual listing at 150 to 200 billion dollars; the chief executive says that is at least two years away. The next liquidity event will more likely be another private sale.
