UK finance app Revolut says secondary share sale is underway
July 22 (Reuters) - Europe's most valuable financial technology firm Revolut's secondary share sale is underway, a spokesperson confirmed to Reuters on Wednesday.
Here are some details:
The sale will value each share of the British finance app at $2,017, giving the company a $115 billion valuation, a Bloomberg report said on Wednesday, citing an internal message to staff.
Revolut's spokesperson declined to comment on the details of the share sale, but said the company would provide an update once it was completed.
The fintech firm was targeting selling at least $750 million worth of shares in a secondary sale, according to media reports in June .
Late last year, Revolut confirmed it had completed a secondary share sale valuing it at $75 billion, making the 11-year-old business worth more than many publicly listed banks, including Barclays BARC.L and France's Societe Generale SOGN.PA.
Secondary sales allow employees and early investors to sell shares in private companies before a public listing.
Founded in 2015, Revolut is one of the most successful European fintech companies, with no physical bank branches.
