Revolut is betting on performance and heading for the stock market

23. 07. 2025 | Natalie Bezděková

Nik Storonsky, co-founder and CEO of fintech giant Revolut, is bucking current trends in how he runs his company. At a time when tech companies are competing to offer employee benefits and emphasize work-life balance, Revolut is taking a different approach—an uncompromising focus on performance, numbers, and growth.

Storonsky’s management style does not rely on PR, but on hard data. You won’t find ping-pong tables, game rooms, or corporate baristas at his company. Here, a simple rule applies: if you can’t keep up, you’re out. The company makes no secret of this – high commitment and performance have been part of the corporate culture from the very beginning.

Although this approach may seem harsh and, for many, unsustainable, Revolut’s results to date prove that it works. The company continues to grow, expand its services and reach, and prepare for an initial public offering (IPO). According to the latest data, Revolut is one of the most valuable European fintech companies, with millions of users worldwide.

Storonsky himself admits that running a global company is significantly different from managing a small startup. Revolut has faced mistakes and internal challenges during its growth, but it has never strayed from its vision. Instead of comfort, it relies on discipline, high standards, and constant optimization.

While others strike a balance between productivity and satisfaction, Revolut believes that a consistent performance culture is the key to long-term success. This approach may not suit everyone, but it brings results for the company.
