Background
Revolut is a privately held UK neobank. Its Israeli record is regulatory and commercial: a Bank of Israel identification code in 2023 for shekel transfers, a payment-institution licence from the Capital Markets Authority in July 2025, and an application in progress for Israel's new 'lean bank' licence, with local hiring to match. Israeli regulators granted these licences as part of a deliberate policy of opening the banking market to non-bank competition, so the licence is a decision by Israel about Revolut as much as a commitment by Revolut to Israel. No Israeli acquisition or startup investment by Revolut was found, and no donation, aid or public statement of support for Israel by the company or its founders was identified, including after October 2023.

| Operations in Israel | 2025-07-23 | — | Israel's Capital Markets, Insurance and Savings Authority (payment-institution licence) Revolut was granted a payment-institution licence in Israel by the Capital Markets, Insurance and Savings Authority, announced on 23 July 2025 alongside licences for Rapyd, Airwallex and Mesh Payments. The licence lets it hold customer funds, run digital wallets, process payments and offer foreign exchange in Israel; lending and securities activity require separate approval. Revolut had already begun operating in Israel in 2023, when the Bank of Israel issued it an identification code allowing local shekel money transfers, and it has since been pursuing an Israeli 'lean bank' licence that would let it take deposits and lend, while advertising Israel-focused roles. |
