Revolut has rolled out its latest update, Revolut 10, revamping the appearance of its flagship mobile app. The new version comes with a host of features, including a simplified interface, customizable themes, and updated ways to send and save money. According to the company's representatives, Revolut 10 results from extensive customer feedback and rigorous testing to create a more intuitive and user-friendly experience.
In the meantime, Revolut is trying to obtain a banking license in the UK and USA to acquire more clients. However, it is facing some challenges in the American markets.
Revolut 10 Focuses on User Experience
The latest version of the Revolut app, marked with the number ten, was symbolically presented on 10 October (10.10). The fintech giant has undergone a global brand refresh and decided to take a new approach to user experience.
"Listening to our customers was key to Revolut 10. My goal is making money streamlined and easy to manage for everyone, which means considering every pixel, swipe, and tap along the way," Maria Herrera, the Head of Product Design at Revolut, commented.
The company claimed it has spent "hundreds, possibly thousands," hours on testing, prototyping, and refining the app.
The updated app offers a unified view of all user's Revolut accounts on the home screen. With just a tap, consumers can switch between accounts, making managing multiple currencies or joint accounts easier. This feature aims to provide instant access to financial information.
In addition, Revolut 10 allows users to personalize the app according to their preferences. People can now choose different themes and backgrounds for each account, making it easier to distinguish between them. Additionally, widgets for the most-used features can be added to the home screen for quick access.
The new update simplifies daily financial activities, making them more accessible with just a tap. Whether it's sending money, spending flexibly, or growing your savings, Revolut 10 aims to make these tasks intuitive.
Revolut 35: A New Record Number of Users
The news about the global brand and mobile app refresh comes shortly after Revolut surpassed 35 million users worldwide. Since last June, the company has gained 5 million new customers.
In a bid to attract more clients, the company is seeking a UK banking license. To this end, it has struck a deal with its largest investor, SoftBank, to streamline the fintech 's ownership structure.
Revolut is also aiming to secure a license in the US. Although the company has discussed these plans for about two years, it has yet to make this move. While Revolut hasn't officially confirmed this, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the government agency that oversees the US banking industry, informed the media that it has not received any application from the fintech giant.
For now, the company is facing challenges in the US related to cryptocurrencies due to local regulatory pressure on digital asset companies. As a result, it has temporarily suspended offering these assets in the US.
