Revolut builds each new market's team top-down, starting with senior executives and then hiring for each feature planned for launch, shaped by local regulation.
Valerie Danilenko, Revolut's head of expansions recruitment, says the OCC's conditional approval for its US National Bank has made candidates see Revolut as more established and less risky.
Mark Swan, Revolut's retail strategy and operations manager, says the company's goal is building the world's best banking experience for its 40m customers.
Swan says Revolut is pushing customers to make it their primary account for salary, spending, saving and investing, not just a travel card.
