Revolut to build its own in-house payments processor

Monday 6 November 2017 10:10 CET | News

Revolut has announced plans to design and build its own in-house processor in an effort to prevent further outages caused by its current third party provider. 

Revolut is a UK-based challenger bank that issues a prepaid debit card, P2P payments and currency exchange. The company received numerous complaints from users on its social media channel, after customers were unable to make payments and had their cards declined. 

The company responded quickly to the incident by apologizing and explaining that the problems were caused due to the third party provider it outsources its processing to. 

Revolut has decided to bring its payments processing in-house. This strategy follows in the footsteps of Monzo, another challenger bank who will take control over its payment processing.
