As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting the Ukrainian community, global fintech company Revolut has announced that its app is now available in the Ukrainian language.
This move comes around two years after Revolut started offering payment services to refugees fleeing Ukraine and the “devastating effects” of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
The introduction of Ukrainian as a supported language is considered to be a significant milestone in Revolut’s efforts to provide a “better customer experience” for its growing base of Ukrainian customers throughout Europe.
As noted in the update, the app interface is now “fully” accessible in Ukrainian language, improving the customer’s journey for Ukrainian speakers.
Since 2022, more than 1 billion euros have reportedly been transferred to Ukraine using Revolut, with the majority of funds “originating from Germany, the UK, Ireland, Poland, and the Netherlands.”
Today, nearly 700,000 Ukrainians across the United Kingdom and EEA rely on Revolut for frictionless financial services, with the largest communities said to be based in Poland (27%), Germany (17%), and the UK (6%).
Vlad Yatsenko, Founder & CTO at Revolut said:
“Since the start of the invasion, we’ve remained committed to our support for Ukraine. Providing payment services to Ukrainian refugees allowed us to help when it mattered most, and adding Ukrainian as a supported language is a next step in further improving their experience with Revolut. We aim to ensure that Ukrainian customers feel comfortable while using Revolut, no matter where they are in Europe, while continuing to offer the high-quality services they expect.”
As clarified in the announcement:
“Revolut currently does not provide services within Ukraine, but we invite Ukrainians to download the Revolut app and join the waiting list to get notified when Revolut’s services become available in Ukraine.”
As many Ukrainians continue to navigate the different challenges of displacement, Revolut said that it remains committed to providing “support and seamless, user-friendly financial services.”
Since the outset of the full scale invasion to Ukraine, Revolut reports that it has helped to raise more than £10M for the Red Cross Ukraine appeal, including “a £1.5M company’s donation.”
Revolut has also partnered with various charities based in the United Kingdom as well as EEA in order to help with crisis relief efforts.
