Which startup was founded by Nikolay Storonsky? The answer is Revolut.

Nikolay, also known as Nik, Storonsky co-founded Revolut in 2015 with Vlad Yatsenko. Storonsky became the company’s chief executive, while Yatsenko served as its chief technology officer. The London-based fintech began with a mobile-first approach to spending and exchanging money across borders.

Revolut was launched partly in response to the cost and inconvenience of foreign-exchange services. Its early offering combined a mobile account and card with currency exchange, aiming to give travelers and internationally minded customers clearer rates and lower fees than many traditional providers.

The company later expanded well beyond travel money. Its app added services including peer-to-peer payments, personal and business accounts, stock trading, cryptocurrency exchange, insurance, and lending products in selected markets. That broader range is why Revolut is commonly described as a neobank or financial super-app.

A frequent mix-up is attributing Revolut to the founders of Monzo, N26, or Wise. Those are separate fintech companies, although they compete in overlapping areas such as digital banking and international transfers.
