Revolut Trading Ltd (RTL), the authorised trading arm of global FinTech company Revolut, has obtained a Variation of Permissions (VoP) from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), broadening the regulated activities it is permitted to carry out in the UK.
The new permissions cover managing investments and dealing as principal, representing a move beyond standard brokerage. The expansion opens the door to a wider set of products, including leveraged instruments, managed portfolio solutions and private wealth services catering to retail investors, professional clients and high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), all within the same platform.
RTL is in the process of redesigning its trading model to offer more competitive pricing alongside a broader product suite. The firm aims to serve retail investors, professional clients and HNWIs within a single ecosystem.
The development follows the recent launch of Revolut’s UK bank and reflects the company’s broader ambition to challenge traditional investment services. Looking ahead, RTL also plans to incorporate artificial intelligence into its investment offering, with the aim of enhancing how customers manage their portfolios and financial decisions.
RTL head of operations Victoria Laffey said, “These permissions are the missing piece allowing us to unite investment, advisory and portfolio management under one roof, making them even more accessible. Our mission has always been to remove the friction of fragmented financial services; and we can now put sophisticated wealth management products and tools in the hands of every type of investor, helping our customers build and manage wealth with confidence
