British fintech startup Revolut said on Thursday that it had received a banking license with restrictions from the U.K.'s Prudential Regulation Authority, bringing to an end a three-year wait. The London-headquartered firm now has time to build up its U.K. banking infrastructure and operations ahead of officially launching. Revolut first applied for its banking license in 2021, but it has faced lengthy delays. A U.K. banking license will allow Revolut to take customer deposits and also issue products like loans and credit cards.

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.
