Revolut has announced the official launch of full banking operations in Mexico, marking its first expansion outside Europe, according to a company statement. The move represents a key milestone in the fintech’s global growth strategy and targets high-potential markets with low levels of financial inclusion.
The company secured a full banking license in Mexico through a direct application process, becoming the first independent digital bank to enter the market in this way. The license allows Revolut to provide a full range of banking services to both individual customers and digitally active users.

Major investment and regional ambitions
Revolut Bank S.A. has committed more than $100 million to support its Mexican operations, more than double the minimum capital requirements set by local regulators. The investment underscores the company’s long-term commitment to the region.
With the new license, Revolut can offer digital bank accounts, foreign exchange services, international money transfers, and other financial products. Mexico represents a strategic market as one of Latin America’s largest economies, with a sizeable population that remains underserved by traditional banking and relatively limited competition from established financial institutions.
The expansion aligns with Revolut’s broader objective to accelerate financial inclusion through digital solutions in regions with strong mobile technology adoption.
At the same time, the company is pursuing further growth opportunities. Revolut has announced plans to seek a full banking license in Peru and to launch a payments platform in India. Headquartered in London, the fintech currently serves more than 70 million customers worldwide and aims to exceed 100 million active users across around 100 countries.
