Revolut, a London-based digital banking platform, is venturing into commercial real estate lending, capitalizing on signs of a potential market resurgence, according to a report from Bloomberg.
To spearhead this new initiative, Revolut has appointed Duncan Batty, formerly of M&G Investments, where he led the real estate finance platform. Batty’s role will involve building Revolut’s commercial real estate lending unit from the ground up.
This move reportedly aligns with Revolut’s strategic expansion and innovation goals.
A Revolut spokesperson stated that:
“As we continue to grow, we remain committed to exploring new opportunities that drive business expansion and innovation.”
Revolut’s entry into commercial real estate lending comes at a challenging time, with the market still reeling from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on office buildings and ongoing economic uncertainty.
Despite these challenges, Revolut’s move signals its overall confidence in the potential for growth in this sector.
