The fintech startup, Revolut, will be opening up a Berlin tech hub. The company will also look to hire 80 people initially for different jobs. Positions available will be in fields such as software engineering, data science, product, and growth. Revolt will also look to tailor its product for German markets and also European markets.
Specifically, the Berlin tech hub will look to work on Revolut's commission-free stock trading. Also in development is a Revolut app for children, which could be used instead of a child's bank account.
Germany is home to 150,000 Revolut customers, which is an expanding market. However, the company will look to expand more locally, which will involve targeting Berlin and German populations.
