Revolut receives a banking licence from Colombia’s financial regulator, the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia (SFC). The company says the approval is the last regulatory requirement it needs before launching in the country as a regulated bank. Revolut announces the decision on 15 September.

Both outlets describe the licence as a “licencia de funcionamiento” and say it authorises Revolut to operate as a regulated bank in Colombia. The reports frame the move as part of Revolut’s wider international expansion, highlighting that the licence is the company’s sixth bank licence globally. While neither outlet provides detailed information about specific product offerings in Colombia or a launch date beyond the completion of regulatory steps, they agree on the regulator, the approval date, and the purpose of the licence.
