Manila Bulletin
|July 31 2025
British financial technology (fintech) giant Revolut is set to enter the Philippine market by establishing its second global tech hub in Asia, as part of its goal to reach 100 million customers worldwide.
-
In a statement released on Wednesday, July 30, the Department of Finance (DOF) said the entry of Revolut into the local market has been secured by Finance Secretary Ralph G. Recto through sustained dialogues with foreign investors.
Recto has led engagements with foreign investors last year in London, the United Kingdom (UK); and this year, in Davos, Switzerland, and in Manila. In these dialogues, the Philippines was advertised as a rising hub of global fintech innovation.
