Revolut is to be valued at £35billion as it readies to sell up to nearly £400m worth of shares.

The fintech firm, which last month received a British banking licence from regulators after three years, will let staff offload 20 per cent of share options at £677 each.

The £391m sale is set to solidify its position as Europe’s most valuable start-up firm – and make it worth more than Barclays and Lloyds.

The first share sale, in 2021, valued it at £26billion. 

The sale raises the prospect that the lender, based in London, could seek a blockbuster listing in London.

Revolut was set up by Nikolay Storonsky in 2015 and has 9m UK clients.
