Revolut gears up to play big in Mexico

Focus in remittances and local banking

  • Remittances and transfers, two goals to be deployed in the Mexican market

The great British fintech unicorn, Revolut, has just obtained the license to operate as a bank in Mexico, marking a major milestone in its global expansion plans.

The company, which already has over 40 million customers worldwide, aims to strengthen its remittance and cash transfer business in the country.

The arrival of Revolut in the Mexican market adds to the growing offer of digital neobanks that seek to offer innovative and accessible alternatives to traditional financial services. With its banking license, Revolut will be able to offer a wider range of products and services, including deposit accounts, debit and credit cards, and loans.

One of Revolut’s main focuses in Mexico will be the remittance market, which amounts to billions of dollars each year. The company plans to compete with established players such as Western Union and MoneyGram, offering lower fees and a faster and easier money sending process.

Opportunities in the Mexican market

Mexico presents an attractive market for Revolut due to its large population, high smartphone penetration rate and growing demand for digital financial services. In addition, the country has a large diaspora in the United States, which generates a significant flow of remittances.

However, Revolut also faces some challenges in entering the Mexican market. Competition is fierce, and the company will need to differentiate its offering to attract customers. In addition, it will need to gain the trust of Mexican consumers, who may be reluctant to adopt new financial services.

Despite the challenges, Revolut has the potential to become a major player in the market. The company has strong financial technology experience, a globally recognized brand and an experienced team. With the right strategy, Revolut could contribute to financial inclusion in Mexico and offer a better experience to consumers.

Fintech & Mobile

As we have reported on the Frecuencia Mobile portal, Revolut marked a new milestone at the beginning of the year because it became the first financial entity in the United Kingdom to launch its own eSIM. This new product provides users with an effective way to access data plans without worrying about unexpected roaming charges in over 100 countries.

Important details

Revolut has not yet announced the official start date of its operations in Mexico. The company has said it plans to hire more than 250 employees in Mexico and Brazil by 2025.
