Ask them. You can have a banking license and operate a grocery shop. I guess you can have a banking license, not be a bank, and do some other money related business. Edit: I just looked at their website and didn't found any mention that they are a bank. I'll violate their ToS and link to their website here: https://www.revolut.com/legal/website-terms/ https://www.revolut.com/legal/website-terms/ > We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority as an Electronic Money Institution under the Electronic Money Regulations 2011 for the issuing of electronic money. We are included in the FCA’s registered of electronic money institution firms (Firm Registration Number 900562) which can be found on the FCA website. "Electronic Money Institution" is not a bank. Interestingly you can't link to their website from social media without violating their ToS. Funny. Also you can't link to them if you want to criticize them.
