Revolut has pledged $116 million (€100 million) and 200 new jobs in France by 2030, the company announced Tuesday at the Choose France summit in Paris. The commitment deepens the digital bank’s push into its largest European market, where it already serves about 7 million customers and aims to hit 20 million by the end of the decade.
France as Revolut's European Hub
France is Revolut’s biggest EU market, and the company wants to make it bigger. It’s targeting 10 million users by the end of 2026 and double that four years later. The new investment adds to a much larger bet: in 2025 Revolut committed $1.16 billion (€1 billion) to set up its Western Europe headquarters in Paris.
That headquarters is taking shape in the city’s Bourse district. Revolut has signed a 10-year lease for a refurbished office there, with doors scheduled to open in early 2027.
The UK-based company is also pursuing a French banking license through the ACPR, France’s banking regulator. If approved, the license would let Revolut offer deposits, credit, and lending products under local oversight — a step toward competing directly with traditional French banks.
Choose France Summit Breaks Records
Revolut’s pledge was part of a record-breaking Choose France summit. This year’s edition drew $108 billion (€93 billion) in total foreign investment promises and more than 15,000 planned jobs, according to French officials.
The biggest single pledge came from SoftBank, which committed $52 billion (€45 billion). Most of that money is earmarked for French data centers and artificial intelligence infrastructure.
The summit has become a key event in France’s campaign to attract foreign capital, particularly in tech and finance. Revolut’s commitment — alongside SoftBank’s — underscores the country’s draw as a base for European expansion, especially post-Brexit.
What Comes Next
Revolut’s 200 new jobs will be spread across the next six years, with roles in engineering, compliance, and customer support. The company hasn’t given a precise timeline for the banking license decision, but the ACPR’s review is ongoing.
The lease on the Bourse-district HQ runs for a decade, signaling a long-term bet. Whether the regulator gives a green light on the license will determine how fast Revolut can roll out French deposit and loan products — and whether it hits that 20-million-user target by 2030.
