- The round raised $800 million, the company said in a release.
- The figure is six times Revolut's $5.5 billion valuation of February 2020.
- Talks between the U.K. fintech and SoftBank's Vision Fund 2 were reported earlier this month, with indications Revolut could be valued as high as $40 billion and raise as much as $1 billion.
- Revolut intends to use the funds to boost its offering to U.S. customers and to expand into other international markets, such as India.
