Revolut plans to let eligible customers invest in private technology companies through its app in 2027, extending its investment services beyond publicly traded assets and selected private-market funds.
The fintech said Monday that it had incorporated Revolut Ventures with Carne Group. The service is expected to be added to the app’s investment area. Customers already can choose U.S. and European Economic Area shares, exchange-traded funds, money market funds, bonds and selected private-market funds there.
Revolut says the venture is aimed at high-growth technology companies that have not listed their shares. The company argues that firms are spending longer in private markets, leaving more of their growth and value creation before an initial public offering.
Morningstar and PitchBook put the median age of private companies at listing at 10.7 years in 2025, compared with 6.9 years in 2014. Their chart rounds the 2025 figure to 11 years.
The venture would follow an earlier private-markets product. On July 27, Revolut said eligible customers in Europe would get access to selected funds managed by Apollo, Ares, Hamilton Lane and Partners Group. The funds cover private equity, private credit and private infrastructure.
Rolandas Juteika, head of Revolut Wealth and Trading for the European Economic Area, said the plan is intended to address “retail investor exclusion from non-listed companies.”
The announcement names eligible customers but does not specify qualification criteria. Finect reported that minimum investments, fees, participating firms and initial launch countries had not been disclosed.
The new service would add investments in privately held businesses to the app’s existing menu. Revolut says these investments may be harder to sell than listed shares and can expose investors to a substantial risk of losing capital.
Revolut has set 2027 as the target year, without giving an exact launch date.
