This morning Revolut inaugurated its first digital center in the world in Barcelona. The British neobank has chosen the city after verifying its global appeal and the availability of technological talent.
The financial entity landed in Spain in 2022 and, since then, began hiring personnel in Madrid and Barcelona. "Without looking for it, the Catalan office managed to attract more technological talent and that is why we now decided to take the step and establish it as a technological center," commented Ignacio Zunzunegui, general director of the business in Spain.
The center, which is located in the offices of the Aticco company in Eixample Dret, already employs about 300 people who have been hired in the last two years. The director of the hub, Álex Codina, explained that the forecast is to double the figure in the medium term since the company has been growing a lot in recent months. In Spain, Revolut has exceeded 3 million users and has a penetration rate of 7%, especially attracting customers from generation Z and millennials.
Although the number of workers at the hub is high, the company has only rented space for 130 people since its policy contemplates remote work 100% of the day. The Barcelona hub, Codina commented, will be a meeting point where meetings can be held and give the possibility of working in person for those who prefer it.
With the inauguration of this digital center, Revolut has begun this morning its commitment to opening technological hubs in the world. To date, the company has operated through its headquarters in London and commercial offices in different cities around the world. In fact, in Madrid, the company employs 350 people plus its headquarters.
