Could your bank be your new travel agent? 🌴 Lately, I've noticed fintech firms adding services to cover every aspect of the holiday process. Most prominently Revolut became the first financial firm in the UK to launch an eSIM in February. Users can get cost-effective data plans for wherever they're roaming directly from the bank's app. That adds to Revolut's existing travel offerings like its Stays accommodation booking feature, as well as the fact that Premium and Metal customers can purchase lounge access at 1,000+ airports. Meanwhile Brazil's Nubank partnered with Wise this month to launch a new global account for holding different currencies. This product also comes with an eSIM and free data for customers to use while abroad. With roaming, booking and converting cash all taken care of by your bank, what could be next? In-app holiday planners? Automatic visa applications? Let me know where you think fintech will take this trend next in the comments below, and please tag any companies you think are doing interesting work in this space. #TravelMoney #FinTech #Neobanks

I think this an interesting brand & marketing exercise that could open up to further applications and interactions with consumers. Specially in events, stadiums, or other high volume places where you want to have interactive dialogue with brands or vice versa. Brands showing you on screen how new apparel will look on you, and print you a picture of you and your friends wearing a new coat, jumper, polo, sneakers...etc with option to print or more eco-friendly send an email to your account (and captured your email for follow-up campaigns). Interactive branding is here and i can see how they will continue to grow and directly communicate with audiences.

At Porto airport last week walking to check in when I see something that stops me in my tracks— a Revolut card vending machine. 🤯 From a marketing perspective, this is genius. We’re living in a world where convenience is king, and Revolut just made getting a physical card as easy as grabbing a coffee. Think about it: in an environment where people are constantly on the move, often stressed, they’ve introduced a solution that’s fast, simple, and immediately valuable. It’s brilliant positioning. You catch travellers at the perfect moment—maybe they’ve lost a card, maybe they’re thinking about other financial options, or maybe they’re just curious. Either way, Revolut has placed itself as the answer. Has anyone else seen these machines? What do you think about this strategy? #marketing #airport #fintech #revolut

Revolut is making one step forward to his super app vision, providing eSIM plan for global connectivity. #Revolut, the British #fintech powerhouse, has announced the launch of its travel eSIM plans in the U.K., setting a new benchmark in the fintech industry. This move not only marks Revolut as the first financial services firm in the U.K. to offer telecom plans but positions it among the pioneers globally to venture into this domain. Revolut's travel eSIM plans are designed to cater to the modern traveler's needs, offering data access abroad without the burden of roaming charges. This launch is part of Revolut's broader vision to evolve into a "super app," integrating services across finance and travel to provide a seamless user experience. For customers on Revolut’s premium Ultra package, priced at £55 ($69.47) per month, the offer includes 3GB of global data usage with a monthly refresh, ensuring that travelers can enjoy uninterrupted connectivity without the fear of unexpected roaming costs. Revolut is extending an introductory offer of 100MB of free data to users without an Ultra subscription who apply before May 1, giving a taste of what the service has to offer. In collaboration with U.K. mobile network operator 1Global (formerly known as Truphone), Revolut's venture into eSIM technology underscores its ambition to become a financial super app. This move is not merely about offering additional services but about enhancing the value proposition for travelers who have always been a significant focus for Revolut. As predicted by industry experts, the retail spending on travel connectivity services is expected to soar to over $30 billion by 2028. Revolut's entry into this market is timely and sets a precedent that could inspire other banks and fintech companies to explore similar offerings, reshaping the landscape of financial services and telecom.

Great insights, Alys. I also believe that travel insurance has significant potential in that context.
