UK based digital banking leader Revolut has unveiled a bold plan to invest $1.1 billion in France over the next five years, strengthening its position in Europe and turning Paris into a major innovation hub for the company.
Revolut Fuels French Expansion with Big Investment
The investment will fuel job creation, drive localized product development, and reinforce Revolut’s ambition to build the world’s leading financial superapp from within the EU.
The announcement was made during the 2025 Choose France Summit, hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron.
Speaking at the event, Revolut CEO Nikolay Storonsky highlighted France’s strong talent ecosystem and business-friendly tech environment as key reasons behind the move.
The company plans to:
- Open a new technology and innovation center in Paris
- Hire over 1,000 skilled professionals across engineering, compliance, and customer support
- Develop new, France-specific banking and credit tools
- Enhance customer experience for both French and EU-based users
Macron Welcomes the Move
French President Emmanuel Macron praised Revolut’s commitment, calling it a strong signal of France’s growing appeal as a tech investment hub: “This is a sign of confidence not just in France’s economy, but in our ability to lead the future of European tech,” Macron said.
Revolut currently serves over 40 million users globally, with more than 3 million in France. As regulatory landscapes shift post Brexit, this move enables Revolut to deepen its roots in the EU while building a strong, localized infrastructure in one of Europe’s most dynamic tech ecosystems.
