Revolut ramps up Israeli hiring as it seeks a foothold in the banking market
The fintech giant is building capabilities in credit, risk and regulation ahead of a potential launch in the country.
Revolut is ramping up preparations for its entry into the Israeli market, with the British fintech giant posting a series of job openings for positions based in Israel. A significant share of the roles focuses on core banking functions, including credit, regulation, risk management, collections, anti-money laundering (AML), and operations.
The positions advertised for Revolut’s Israeli operations include credit product managers, banking operations managers, collections managers, and compliance specialists. The composition of the hiring offers a glimpse into how the company is preparing for the local market. Rather than focusing primarily on marketing and business development, many of the current openings are centered on the control systems and infrastructure required to operate a regulated financial institution.
One compliance position, for example, requires detailed knowledge of the Bank of Israel’s Proper Conduct of Banking Business directives, as well as Israeli consumer protection and privacy laws. The role also requires experience working with risk and compliance frameworks.
The hiring push comes as Revolut works to secure a license that would allow it to significantly expand its operations in Israel. In June 2025, Calcalist reported that Revolut was in talks with the Bank of Israel to obtain a "lean bank" license. Such a license would allow the company, among other things, to offer deposit accounts and compete more directly with local banks.
Revolut has also hired Uri Nathan, the former CEO of Pepper, to lead its operations in Israel.
The company is preparing to enter a highly concentrated Israeli banking market dominated by five major players. Revolut would arrive with considerably greater scale than a typical new entrant: It currently reports more than 80 million customers and employs over 13,000 people worldwide.
The company has not yet announced a launch date for its Israeli operations.
