Revolut, which is an app-based provider of financial services, said it would open a new office in Paris for its operations in Western Europe and create at least 200 new jobs across the country as part of the three year investment. Revolut waited three years to obtain a UK banking licence.
The announcement was made during an summit hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron to attract new investment.
