“We’re delighted to be helping businesses save money and time – and we felt that the milestone called for us to celebrate with a fresh look. The new structure of our Revolut Business web and mobile apps paves the way for some really exciting products we have in the pipeline. We can’t wait to take business accounts to the next level,” said Nik Storonsky, CEO and founder of Revolut.
Challengers focus on business customers: As challenger banks have put up huge growth numbers, the world is beginning to pay more attention to the quality of this growth.
- Business accounts are typically premium accounts that challengers charge a month subscription fee for.
- Revolut Business offers a free account with limited functionality and premium accounts begin at £25 per month.
- Getting business accounts right provides a sticky form of monthly revenue, in addition to the other services businesses consume.
- Some analysts believe the difference in fates between Monzo and Starling — one’s teetering on closing while the other nears profitability — has a lot to do with winning business accounts.
