It offers services in 150 currencies, with its largest standard plan including zero wiretaps from ATMs up to 200 Euros, free of charge payment, transfer and transfer of funds up to € 6,000 between accounts within the system, above 0.5% of the amount, as well as transfers between bank accounts.  For the year 2017, the company reported a loss of 14.8 million pounds, and investors supporting it are Point Nine, Index Ventures, Seedcamp, Balderton Capital, and Ribbit Capital.  

Revolut Bulgaria

Since this month, Revolut the company for Digital Payments has started offering payment accounts in BGN currency. As a result, it becomes the first international player on the market to save local consumers on the use of their services. The news was announced at the FinTech Summit.  The option to open a BGN account is active today, but in order to achieve its full functionality, more steps are still needed to be done. Currently, customers receive an IBAN in a British bank, as are the other Revolut account identifiers, as funds are held in the UK. However, the possibility of providing and maintaining a BGN account makes the payment service in the country and the transfer of funds to other BGN accounts more convenient and cheap when the amounts are higher.  According to Revolut's latest data, its customers in Bulgaria are already 23 thousand, only 15 thousand in the first five months. Besides physical persons, the company also offers services to corporate clients, with an international number of consumers exceeding 4 million.
