What's happening

Revolut Bank S.A. has been awarded a full French banking licence after a joint assessment by France's Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution (ACPR) and the European Central Bank, and the decision was formally adopted by the ECB Governing Council. This gives Revolut a second EU banking hub and the company plans to begin expanding banking services across Western Europe, starting with customers in France and then rolling out to Germany, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain. Revolut serves more than 75 million customers globally, and the licence was described as a "full" European banking licence by reports.

Why it's trending

Because the ACPR and ECB just completed and adopted a joint assessment that clears Revolut to scale retail banking across major Western European markets now.
