Revolut Launches Revolut Chat, an Instant Messaging Feature in Step Forward to Super App

Revolut

“Revolut, the global financial superapp with more than 20 million customers worldwide, has launched an instant messaging feature, where Revolut customers in the UK and EEA can chat as well as share fun gifs and stickers whilst sending and requesting funds to and from other customers. A recent UK and European survey of 8,000 people, commissioned by Revolut, found that two thirds of people (67.5%) find it difficult to discuss money. The new chat feature in the Revolut app aims to make talking about money less awkward by keeping it in one place. To access this feature, customers simply have to enter the ‘Transfer’ section in Revolut app. The chat window will open right after tapping on one of the contacts. The chat will be embedded in the ‘Transfer’ feature – so there’s no need to open multiple windows.”
