Digital challenger Revolut has extended its partnership with business payments platform Modulr in an attempt to fuel innovation in financial services.
Through the extension, Modulr will continue to provide its 24/7 payments infrastructure which powers Revolut’s range of financial products. The two fintechs first partnered in 2017 when Revolut tapped Modulr’s API platform to enable quick account creation and fast transaction processing.

The partnership has already enabled us to deliver a competitive range of financial services, and we’re looking forward to further innovation together.
“We’re looking forward to launching more hugely beneficial products to Revolut customers, powered by Modulr. Now more than ever, our customers around the world need the tools to manage their finances conveniently and proactively.”
Established partnership
According to Revolut, Modulr’s support has helped the challenger offer over 12 million customers a robust suite of financial services. These services include, UK GBP current accounts with sort codes and account numbers, along with access to UK payment schemes including Faster Payments, Bacs and CHAPS.
In addition, in 2019, Revolut utilised Modulr’s Direct Debits Mandate Service, allowing Revolut’s EEA customers with local account details to make all their regular GBP Direct Debit payments straight from their Revolut accounts.
