It's a mobile NEO Bank, based in Great Britain, founded in 2015. The founders are Nikolay Storonsky and Vlad Yatsenko, who started the project in 2015. Revolut has a banking license in Great Britain and Lithuania. Initially, they offered users a prepaid debit card and app and very favorable exchange rates, so it was primarily useful for travel. In the following years, they expanded their offer with many other banking and non-banking services, and expanded their user base to 12 million and is currently the fastest growing neo bank.
