Revolut Ltd. is offering every employee a £1,000 payment for bringing in new business-banking customers [1].
The initiative signals an aggressive shift toward corporate clients to increase revenue and valuation as the London-based digital bank prepares for a public listing [1, 2].
Chief Executive Officer Nik Storonsky said the incentive on Friday, May 15, 2026 [1]. The bonus, which equals approximately $1,334 [1], is available to the company's global workforce to accelerate the expansion of Revolut Business [1, 3].
This push follows a period of significant growth for the B2B sector. Revolut Business revenue grew 53% year-over-year [2]. In 2025, the business banking arm accounted for 16% of the company's total revenue [2].
Storonsky said that the company is prioritizing this segment over other areas of the operation. "Business banking is now 'P0'," Storonsky said [2].
The drive for new corporate accounts is closely tied to the company's financial ambitions. Revolut is targeting an IPO valuation of $200 billion [2]. By leveraging its entire staff as a sales force, the company aims to scale its corporate footprint quickly—a move intended to prove the scalability of its business model to potential investors [1, 2].
“"Business banking is now 'P0'"”
By incentivizing non-sales staff to recruit corporate clients, Revolut is attempting to rapidly inflate its B2B metrics. This strategy aims to diversify revenue streams beyond retail banking and maximize the company's valuation before it hits the public market, where growth rates are heavily scrutinized by investors.
