Revolut’s mobile banking and crypto app has burst onto the scene, offering an alternative to traditional ways of moving money.
The app lets users link to a bank account so they can buy, hold and exchange Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum. You can then convert the crypto to 25 fiat currencies, and spend it using prepaid debit cards from Mastercard and Visa.
Revolut also features free international money transfers and the ability to spend money around the world at the interbank exchange rate without extra fees.
The London-based company was created in 2015 and quickly achieved rock star status, with a current valuation of about $1.7 billion.
