Revolut drops ‘remote-first’ policy for new graduates
Revolut has confirmed that it will require graduate hires to attend the office at least three days per week to help benefit their careers.
The fintech company, which became a licensed bank in the UK in March, has advocated a “remote-first” approach for staff, unlike most traditional institutions in the financial sector.
From 2027, graduates and interns will have to work three days per week in Revolut’s offices because, the company said in a statement, “the early stages of a career benefit from in-person collaboration and mentoring”.

Previously graduates were free to work remotely or at the office. Revolut’s 120-day “workation” also allows staff to work remotely abroad, “exploring new cultures while staying productive and connected”.
Revolut chief executive Nik Storonsky has said the flexible policy would remain unchanged as long as employees remained productive, telling staff last year that the company cared “more about what you do than where you do it”.
The statement added: “For all other employees, our remote-first policy is unchanged.”
Revolut announced in March that about 40% of its global workforce will be based in India by the end of this year. It currently employs around 12,000 employees in more than 30 countries.
Revolut, founded in 2015 by Storonsky and Vlad Yatsenko as an app that enabled people in the UK and Europe to spend money abroad using interbank foreign exchange rates, has become one of Europe’s most significant fintech companies. It has more than 70 million customers and supports transfers across about 160 countries and regions. It was valued at $75bn in November 2025.
