So You Want to Own a Piece of the Revolut Pie? Buckle Up, Grasshopper!
Ah, Revolut. The financial app that lets you do everything from buying crypto to booking a spontaneous vacation to... well, arguing with a chatbot about overdraft fees (allegedly). But what if you crave a deeper connection? What if you yearn to not just use Revolut, but be Revolut? Enter the thrilling (and potentially terrifying) world of buying Revolut shares!
Hold on There, Turbo! Revolut Isn't Public... Yet
Before you empty your piggy bank and rename your dog Nik Storonsky (Revolut's CEO), there's a slight wrinkle. As of today, Revolut isn't a publicly traded company. That means you can't just waltz into your favorite brokerage app and snag a slice of that fintech goodness. But fear not, intrepid investor! This doesn't mean your dreams of Revolut ownership are dashed forever. It just means you have to be a bit more... creative.

Plan B: Invest Like a Boss (or at least pretend to)
While you can't directly buy Revolut shares, there are ways to hitch your wagon to their rocket ship (figuratively speaking, of course). Here's your options buffet:
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.![]()
- Public Comps: Think of it like online dating. You can't date Revolut directly, but you can check out similar fintech companies on the market. Look for companies that offer similar services and see if their stocks tickle your fancy.
- The Private Investment Playground (For the Well-Heeled): If you have a spare million lying around (don't we all?), you could explore private investment opportunities. This is a whole different ball game, so get ready for some serious financial jargon and lawyers in expensive suits.
Pro Tip: Do your research before diving headfirst into any investment. Just because a company makes a cool app doesn't mean it's a guaranteed goldmine.
But Wait, There's More! The Speculative Gameshow
Tip: Write down what you learned.![]()
Here's where things get interesting. There are rumors (delicious, delicious rumors) that Revolut might go public sometime in the future. Cue the dramatic music! If that happens, you'll be primed and ready to jump on the bandwagon (hopefully with a well-researched plan, not just blind enthusiasm).
