Graduates and interns starting from 2027 will be required to work in the office at least three days a week, while other staff will be allowed to continue working remotely.
The new policy, the company said, will only affect employees at the start of their careers, as it still holds that face-to-face interaction and mentorship are key to building the skills of young employees. Revolut’s remote first strategy will still be in place for existing staff.
Graduates and interns were afforded the same flexibility as other workers in the past and could decide to work from home or work in the office. Revolut also announced that it will keep one of its most popular benefits for employees – the ‘workation’ programme, which lets staff work from another country for up to 120 days per year.
CEO Nik Storonsky has always stood by flexible working, telling staff last year that the business was more concerned with results than where staff worked, as long as productivity was high.
The policy shift coincides with a time of fast growth for Revolut. The company was granted a complete banking licence in the UK earlier this year after a thorough regulatory process. In November 2025, the fintech had a valuation of $75 billion, and was one of the most valuable financial institutions in Britain.
Revolut started in 2015 with the founders being Nik Storonsky and Vlad Yatsenko, as a digital payments business that provided cheap foreign currency exchange services. It has since grown into a vast array of banking and financial services and now has over 70 million customers in about 160 countries and regions.
The company is also continuing to grow internationally. Revolut’s global staff of 12,000 employees, across over 30 countries, has said that about 40% of them will be India-based by the end of this year.
The move is part of a larger trend in the financial and tech sectors, where many firms have moved to hybrid working, though they reverted to all-remote in the pandemic.
The Office for National Statistics in the UK released data showing that hybrid working is now prevalent nationwide, with over a quarter of workers working from home and the office. This percentage is even greater in information and communications industries.
The policy is in line with policies already used by many large employers, employment law experts said.
Many businesses have implemented hybrid working for their staff where possible, according to Jo Mackie, employment law partner at Michelmores. She said that at the beginning of their careers, it was very important for those who are young to get face-to-face mentoring and interaction with older officers.
The transition marks a shift in Revolut’s approach to the workplace and their strategy overall, which has prioritised flexible work with a renewed focus on face-to-face training and professional development for new hires.
