Revolut’s Family Strategy: Building Loyalty Across Generations
Anchoring financial habits early to drive engagement and brand stickiness
Revolut is laying the groundwork for long-term loyalty by anchoring families and teens early in its ecosystem. With Revolut <18, the company introduces teenagers to prepaid cards, parental oversight, and savings tools, embedding itself as their first banking experience.
By 2024, Revolut had surpassed 2M under-18 users, with usage growing 67% YoY, and expanded the product to New Zealand to scale teen-led adoption globally.
The strategy extends to households with Joint Accounts, which provide transparent expense tracking and shared savings pots, turning Revolut into a household anchor. The product crossed 1M joint account users in 2024, creating a powerful network effect that ties families into the platform.
The impact compounds over time: early adoption raises switching costs, unlocks upsell into plans, lending, and wealth, and positions Revolut as the lifetime financial partner for entire households. More than just customer acquisition, Revolut’s family playbook is a long-term loyalty engine, converting first banking experiences into lifelong relationships.
