Talk:Revolut

Merge Nikolay Storonsky here
Nikolay Storonsky fails WP:NBIO in that his only claim to notability is through being the founder and CEO of Revolut, while we have WP:NOTINHERITED. Also, no sources in that article are independent of the subject as required by WP:NBIO. Any thoughts? — kashmīrī  TALK  16:23, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose, I think his role in setting up Revolut and its "disruptive nature" would make him notable.Cristiano Tomás (talk) 21:18, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Can you address WP:NOTINHERITED please? Otherwise I will AfD that bio. — kashmīrī  TALK  09:58, 14 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Support merge per nominator, notability is not inherited. – Teratix ₵ 08:47, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment No strong feelings either way, but I'd like to point out that WP:NOTINHERITED clearly states that it is not a policy or guideline and not an argument in itself. Notability has to be decided on grounds of wether there are sufficient sources on the person himself (as opposed to the company). Averell (talk) 20:18, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Support - his article reads like a puff piece - David Gerard (talk) 06:21, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

blanket statements
There are multiple mentions in the article of this company not reimbursing fraud victims but there are numerous examples and coverage of instances where they did reimburse some or all of the lost funds. Here are two:

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/relationship-coach-scammed-over-5000-30727873

The article includes a significant amount of information about fraud claims and criticisms, which appears to be quite typical of financial institutions and large corporations in general - we must be sure there is not undue weight given to individual complaints.

Correct banking license information
I have disclosed my conflict of interest on my user page and it is indicated in this edit request.

There is outdated information about Revolut's banking license. This appears in two places. First in the introduction and next under the Protection of Funds/Revolut Bank. Here are my requested edits:

Introduction :Revolut Bank UAB, the firm's European Economic Area subsidiary, is licensed and regulated by the Bank of Lithuania (replace with: the European Central Bank) within the European Union, and depositors' money is protected through deposit insurance, insured by the Lithuanian State Company Deposit and Investment Insurance.

Protection of Funds/Revolut Bank: Revolut Bank UAB, based in Lithuania, (replaced with: licensed by the European Central Bank) Provides deposit account services in 30 EEA markets.

Here is a source: https://www.pymnts.com/digital-first-banking/2021/revolut-bank-granted-full-european-union-banking-license-amid-criticisms-unfair-competition/

This source also already appears on the page: https://www.lb.lt/en/news/revolut-granted-specialised-bank-and-electronic-money-institution-licences

Assistance is greatly appreciated in this matter. Thank you. RevNeut (talk) 18:06, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Update revenue and employee numbers
I have disclosed my conflict of interest on my user page and it is indicated in this edit request.

There are updated financials and employee count from the most recent reporting. The figures in the information box should be updated to the following:

Revenue: $2.2 Billion or £1.8 Billion (2023)

Net Income: £344 million (2023)

Number of employees: 10,000 (2023)

Here is the supporting documentation: https://www.revolut.com/annual-report/2023/ & https://assets.revolut.com/pdf/annualreport2023.pdf

Thank you for any assistance in this matter. RevNeut (talk) 18:32, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The revenue was already 1.8 billion.I've corrected the net income, which was inccorrectly reported, while keeping the existing source. I can't find 10,000 employees in the given sources, could you please specify a page number? Thanks! Rusalkii  (talk) 22:50, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes. Thank you. Here is a source that can support that 10,000 employee number for the information box: https://news.sky.com/story/revolut-founder-storonsky-to-cash-in-as-part-of-500m-share-sale-13174553 It is also mentioned on page 13 of this document https://assets.revolut.com/pdf/annualreport2023.pdf
 * The employee number also needs updated in the introduction of the article. Right now it reads:
 * As of December 2023, Revolut more than doubled its headcount in two years, employing over 7,500 people in more than 25 countries.
 * please replace with:
 * As of July 2024, Revolut employs 10,000 employees and serves 38 million customers across 38 countries.
 * using this report: https://assets.revolut.com/pdf/annualreport2023.pdf
 * Finally, another editor added this to the History: Revolut has 40 million customers and 10,000 employees.
 * It would be accurate to read:
 * As of 2024, Revolut has 38 million customers and securely holds $22 billion of customer deposits in customer accounts.
 * https://assets.revolut.com/pdf/annualreport2023.pdf
 * Thank you for your thoroughness. Let me know if there are other clarifications necessary. RevNeut (talk) 15:31, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
