This will enable it to continue delivering innovative and essential financial services that meet the needs of Kiwis, who traditional banking players have long underserved. This will include the ability to offer interest-bearing savings products and a broader range of credit options tailored to empower Kiwis and enhance their financial management.<\/p>\n<p>Since launching in New Zealand in 2023, Revolut has seen strong growth momentum, highlighting the need for market disruption. This includes growing customer adoption and transactions processed to date.<\/p>\n<p>Other offerings available to Revolut customers include access to a range of wealth products, such as digital commodities and crypto. Recently, Revolut launched eSIM data plans, bolstering its growing lifestyle offering. The company is expected to launch additional travel benefits early next year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Georgia Grange, Head of New Zealand at Revolut, <\/strong>said, &#8220;Underserved for decades, Kiwis have had to put up with a lack of innovation, core functionality, and high fees. Revolut is here to change that. We don\u2019t limit our thinking to traditional banking products and are committed to enhancing the hauora (well-being) of Kiwis and providing them with innovative solutions to manage their money. Receiving a banking license will allow Revolut to become the first global digital bank in New Zealand and will drive much-needed competition across the industry. We look forward to working with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand on our application.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Baxby, Australia and New Zealand CEO of Revolut,<\/strong> said, \u201cSince launching in New Zealand last year, we have experienced strong growth, and we\u2019re just getting started. It\u2019s clear that the market is primed for disruption, and Kiwis are seeking innovative solutions that meet their needs. Becoming a bank will allow us to fulfil our purpose of being \u2018one app, all things money\u2019 while ensuring we continue to maintain the highest regulatory standards.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35800,"featured_media":551704,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[41779,11376],"tags":[38037,12348,11649,11508,20248,11515,48480,48481,12862,48403,13648,48208,11840,11406],"class_list":["post-565615","ibsi_news","type-ibsi_news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-banktech","category-digital-banking","tag-apac-fintech","tag-data-security","tag-digital-banking","tag-europe","tag-financial-super-app","tag-fintech","tag-global-bank","tag-global-digital-bank","tag-investing","tag-metomic","tag-new-zealand","tag-nzd","tag-revolut","tag-uk"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.9 (Yoast SEO v24.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Revolut applies to be New Zealand\u2019s First Global Digital Bank<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Revolut, a global financial technology, has announced that it has submitted its application to become a registered bank in New Zealand.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ibsintelligence.com\/ibsi-news\/revolut-applies-to-be-new-zealands-first-global-digital-bank\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Revolut applies to be New Zealand\u2019s First Global Digital Bank\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"IBS Intelligence (IBSi) is the world\u2019s only pure-play Financial Technology focused research, advisory, and fintech news analysis firm, with a 30-year track record and clients globally.
