The company said its new platform would allow eligible users to ‘build private-companies positions alongside their existing portfolios’.
UK-based fintech giant Revolut is to provide a ventures service offering for certain customers to access “high-growth private technology companies” from 2027.
The company said its new platform would allow eligible users to “build private-companies positions alongside their existing portfolios”.
Revolut Ventures, incorporated in partnership with Carne Group, aims to give “everyday investors” the opportunity to back non-listed companies during early-years growth periods that have “traditionally been reserved for large institutions and the ultra-wealthy”, Revolut said.
“With Revolut Ventures, we’re aiming to dismantle one of the final barriers in wealth management: retail investor exclusion from non-listed companies,” said Rolandas Juteika, head of Revolut wealth and trading for the EEA.
“Value creation happens long before an IPO, and by managing our own platform, we’re giving everyday investors the opportunity to access tomorrow’s market leaders right from the Revolut app.”
The Ventures platform will be integrated into the Revolut app alongside existing investment options, the company said, with the aim of providing “institutional-grade venture capital investment opportunities to eligible retail investors”.
The company, citing figures from PitchBook and the US Federal Reserve, said that high-growth private tech companies are taking longer to go public – with the median company age at the IPO stage standing at 11 years in 2025 – and also dwindling in number in the US, with 3,900 listed equity investment opportunities in that year.
The fintech is undertaking a continued global expansion campaign, having established or seeking to create authorised banking entities across the globe, including in Switzerland, Colombia, the US, France, Peru, the UK, Australia and Mexico.
In August, the company commenced the phased roll-out of its first stablecoin, a euro-backed token called EURR, designed to maintain a value of €1 and backed by reserves held and managed by Bridge.
Last week, Revolut was among a number of companies in western Europe understood to have been affected by a disruption to Google Cloud’s services, although the fintech said no customer money or data was compromised.
In September, 680 Revolut account holders, including 12 in Ireland, had sensitive personal information leaked in a data breach.
