RevolutBritish financial technology firm Revolut announced Thursday that it's planning to move its official headquarters in London to Canary Wharf, the city's major financial district. Revolut will relocate its global headquarters to the YY London building in the center of Canary Wharf. Canary Wharf is London's main financial district, home to many of the world's largest banks, insurers, and other financial institutions. Revolut said that its decision to open a new global headquarters at the heart of the city demonstrates that the firm remains committed to the U.K. market.

European fintech firm Revolut on Thursday said it appointed former Barclays executive Francesca Carlesi as its new U.K. CEO. A spokesperson for Revolut told CNBC that the move was not linked to its application for a banking license. Carlesi would be in charge of the company's U.K. operation — which, once it receives a banking license, would manage the Revolut banking division. The appointment comes at a time when Revolut is beefing up its local operation amid a long wait to obtain a coveted British banking license. Revolut was late to file its accounts earlier this year, which exposed the company to criticisms over whether it is ready to become a fully licensed bank.
