The Napster of Finance: Revolut

  • Resumen

  • This week, we delve into one of the most transformative shifts in economics and finance: the rise of e-banking, spotlighted by Revolut's meteoric growth. Revolut, a Lithuanian-born company now boasting 2.7 million Irish customers—nearly three-quarters of the adult population—has quickly transitioned from a simple travel card service to a major banking player. With recent licenses from the European Central Bank and the UK, Revolut is set to enter the mortgage market, leveraging its 45 million global users and disrupting traditional banking models with no physical assets. This digital upstart, now valued at around $45 billion, challenges established banks like AIB and Bank of Ireland, demonstrating how quickly the financial landscape is evolving. We explore how Revolut’s model compares to the historical development of money and banking, questioning the mainstream understanding of money creation and the role of banks. Tune in as we discuss how this 'Napster of Finance' is reshaping the industry and what it means for the future of money.
