Nubank

Revolut has secured approval to operate as a bank in Argentina, with regulators clearing its acquisition of Banco Cetelem, the local lender previously owned by BNP Paribas. The move gives the UK fintech a full banking licence in one of Latin America's largest markets, deepening its push into the region alongside rivals like Nubank. Analysts see it as a major step in Revolut's global expansion beyond its European base.
