Revolut is planning to grow rapidly in Singapore, as part of its ambitions to expand in Southeast Asia and globally, with a goal of hitting 100 million users with US$100 billion (S$129 billion) in revenue, across 100 countries.

The plans were announced during the fintech company’s launch of its global headquarters at Canary Wharf in London, Britain, on Sept 23.

Revolut is now in 39 markets, including Singapore, where it has had a presence since 2019.

In Singapore, the company has also doubled its headcount from 2024 to 2025, and plans to double it again in a year’s time.

It is looking for data scientists, engineers and fintech professionals, said Mr Raymond Ng, Revolut’s chief executive for Singapore and Southeast Asia.

The company is also keen to take on fresh graduates as it aims to groom talent to build the next generation of products, he added.

Revolut’s growth in Singapore is also part of its global ambitions.

The company announced that it will commit US$13 billion over the next five years, which will support the creation of 10,000 jobs globally.

A significant portion of this will fund established and high-growth regions such as Britain, Western Europe and the US, but will also drive launches in new markets across Latin America, the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.
