> In December 2018, Revolut secured a Challenger bank licence from the European Central Bank, facilitated by the Bank of Lithuania, authorising it to accept deposits and offer consumer credits, but not to provide investment services. At the same time, an Electronic Money Institution licence was also issued by the Bank of Lithuania.

What are you talking about? Revolut is a real bank, same as Monzo, N26, Aumax (part of a larger banking group so it hardly counts), Kard. Specifically regarding Revolut, they are a real bank in multiple countries now - UK, Lithuania, US and a bunch of other European countries.




Revolut does not have a bank license in the UK. They've applied, but it has not yet been granted.
