בנק ישראל העניק רישיון זמני לקבוצת Revolut להקמת בנק בישראל

הערכה

The Bank of Israel has granted Revolut a temporary license to establish a bank in Israel, marking a concrete step in the government's push to break up the concentrated banking sector. This is not just another fintech app operating under an existing bank's license. Revolut will become a licensed bank itself, competing directly with the five large groups that dominate Israeli banking. The Finance Minister calling it a strategic move signals political backing for the reform. Watch for how quickly Revolut moves from temporary to permanent license and what services it offers first.
