Revolut Ltd., the UK-based financial super app, is expanding its global operations with a new technology hub in the Philippines, reinforcing its bet on Southeast Asia’s tech talent and the country’s role in the region’s digital economy.
The new facility will serve as a global capability center (GCC) and is expected to generate hundreds of high-value jobs in customer operations and risk support roles.
The launch follows the success of Revolut’s first tech hub in India and is part of the company’s strategy to scale its global capabilities as it accelerates international growth.
“This investment reflects our long-term commitment to the Philippines and our confidence in its growth potential,” said Raymond Ng, Revolut’s CEO for Singapore and Southeast Asia.
Revolut, which now serves over 60 million customers globally, plans to leverage the Philippines’ skilled workforce to support teams across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas.
The company’s remote-first approach will also allow it to draw from a broader local talent pool as it deepens its presence in the region.
“Our hiring plans are not a short-term initiative — we see the Philippines as a strategic market for Revolut’s growth in Southeast Asia,” Ng said. “We’re laying the foundation for sustained operations and expansion, supported by the Philippine government’s pro-innovation approach and its commitment to building a future-ready digital economy.”
Finance Secretary Ralph G. Recto said Revolut’s decision to set up in the country is a “resounding vote of confidence” in the Philippines as a destination for global fintech investment.
“This investment sends a clear message to the world that the Philippines offers the strategic blend of world-class talent, digital readiness, and policy support to lead the future of global fintech,” Recto said.
Martin Kent, His Majesty’s Trade Commissioner for Asia Pacific, added that Revolut’s move underscores the strength of UK-Philippine trade ties and the growing role of the region in financial innovation.
Revolut’s entry adds to a growing list of global firms building capability centers in the Philippines, which is increasingly positioning itself as a hub for tech-driven services across financial services, business process outsourcing, and artificial intelligence.
“This is more than just an expansion — it’s a long-term partnership with the Philippines,” Ng added. “We’re proud to bring meaningful, high-impact work to local teams who will help shape the future of finance.
