Revolut indicated to CBNC Tech that the appointment has nothing to do with its application for a UK banking licence.</p>
<p>This licence will enable <a href="https://www.leaprate.com/financial-services/fintech/revolut-adds-european-stocks-to-platform/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Revolut </a>to offer lending products, such as mortgages, personal loans, and credit cards. Upon the announcement of her appointment, Carlesi commented:</p>
<blockquote><p>Revolut is the future of digital banking. With nearly eight million customers in the UK and a diversified product offering, the company is at the forefront of change in financial services. There are so many growth opportunities and I couldn’t be more excited to be leading the way for the UK.</p></blockquote>

<p>The chairperson of Revolut UK, Richard Holmes, expressed delight on behalf of the company in welcoming Carlesi to the leadership team. He said:</p>
<blockquote><p>As we continue to build out our leadership team, her extensive experience across the banking and fintech sectors makes her the perfect CEO to drive our UK business forward. As a founder of her own fintech, and having spent many years across the banking industry, Francesca knows what it takes to challenge the banking incumbents, and I look forward to celebrating her successes here in the months to come.</p></blockquote>
