Revolut plans to compete with American Express and JPMorgan Chase in the US market by offering credit cards and loans.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Revolut aims to match the offerings of American Express and JPMorgan Chase, while also rolling out products those firms do not currently offer. The firm is also pursuing a primary listing in the US if it chooses to pursue a public offering in the future, which could increase competitive pressure in the US retail banking and payment services market.
