Revolut prepares to launch its digital bank in Mexico in 2026.

British neobank Revolut , known for its all-digital model, announced plans to launch operations in Mexico in early 2026. This decision is part of its global expansion strategy, which aims to reach 100 million customers worldwide by 2027 and operate in 30 new markets by 2030 .

With more than 65 million users currently , Revolut has established itself as a leader in digital banking thanks to its technological innovation and commission-free instant transfer services, an attractive proposition for Mexicans looking for alternatives to traditional banking.

In April 2024, Revolut obtained its banking license from the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) and is currently undergoing the required audits to begin operations. The firm emphasizes the importance of complying with all regulatory standards before offering its financial products in Mexico.

Additionally, the neobank announced plans to apply for banking licenses in Argentina and Colombia , consolidating its expansion in Latin America . This reinforces the company's strategy to position itself as a leader in the region in digital financial services.

Since its launch in the UK in 2015, Revolut has experienced exponential growth. It currently operates in 39 countries , with revenue exceeding $4 billion and a net profit of $1.4 billion through June 2025.

To continue its expansion, the company will invest $13 billion over five years , creating 10,000 jobs worldwide . This investment will be used to strengthen operations in established markets, such as the United Kingdom, France, and the United States , as well as new markets in Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East .

Carlos Urrutia, Revolut's global director of expansion, noted that Mexico represents a strategic opportunity : "Due to its population size, dynamic economy, and international connectivity, it's the natural step for our expansion into Latin America."

The services Revolut plans to offer include instant transfers between customers in different countries , allowing Mexicans to send and receive money at no additional cost, marking a turning point in the digital banking experience.

Revolut isn't just looking to expand, it's also looking to transform the way users manage their finances. With intuitive apps, real-time alerts, digital cards, and investment management, the neobank offers a comprehensive fintech offering capable of competing with traditional banking and attracting young, digitally active audiences.
