Read previewRevolut has secured a $45 million valuation via a secondary share sale, despite a wider slump in fintech valuations.
The London-based neo-bank, which recently secured a banking license in the UK, has signed agreements with institutional investors over a share sale that significantly boosts the company's valuation.
That round came at the height of the tech market's COVID-19 boom, and Revolut has not raised primary capital from investors since.
This secondary deal allows employees to profit from their stakes in the company and also cements the fintech as Europe's most valuable tech startup ahead of a prospective IPO.
Revolut has 45 million customers and offers bank accounts, savings options, and trading in stocks and cryptocurrencies.
