Revolut Taps Fourthline as Strategic Identity Partner to Power Global Growth

Revolut, one of the world’s most dynamic fintech companies, has announced a new strategic alliance with Fourthline, Europe’s foremost identity verification services provider.

The partnership is the result of a rigorous and competitive RFP process and is aimed at equipping Revolut with the tools and support necessary to manage its global expansion while upholding stringent security and compliance standards.

As Revolut continues its rapid trajectory across international markets, the fintech giant recognized the critical need for a partner that could not only accommodate high customer volumes but also guarantee security in onboarding processes. Fourthline was ultimately chosen for its sophisticated technology stack that includes biometric analysis, active liveness detection, and advanced document verification. These AI-driven features form the core of Fourthline’s offering and are designed to secure sensitive user data while streamlining onboarding procedures.

The partnership addresses a key operational challenge Revolut faces: maintaining consistency in identity verification across a growing number of jurisdictions. “Our exponential growth across multiple markets demands a compliance partner that can keep pace with our expansion while maintaining the seamless user experience our customers expect,” said Alberto Riveroll Usabiaga, Head of Retail Onboarding at Revolut. He underscored that Fourthline emerged as the top choice after an exhaustive evaluation process, thanks to its proven technological capabilities and reliable service record.

Fourthline’s customer-first approach, including customized account management and technical support, also played a significant role in the partnership’s formation. This tailored support ensures that Revolut can continue to scale its onboarding operations efficiently while preserving the quality and user experience for which the brand is known.

Central to the collaboration is the integration of Fourthline’s identity technology via a unified API. This single integration point enables Revolut to apply consistent compliance standards across all of its markets, simplifying global operations and enhancing regulatory alignment. The API allows for automation of identity checks, significantly reducing the need for manual input and expediting user verification times.

Beyond meeting immediate onboarding and compliance demands, Fourthline’s adaptability to global regulatory landscapes makes it a vital asset to Revolut’s strategic expansion plans.

“Winning Revolut’s competitive RFP represents a significant milestone in Fourthline’s journey,” said Krik Gunning, Co-Founder and CEO at Fourthline. “As financial regulations continue to evolve differently across global markets, our technology provides forward-thinking institutions like Revolut with the adaptability and security they need to scale confidently.”

Gunning also confirmed that the partnership would extend beyond the EU and UK, accompanying Revolut into additional international markets in the future. This global outlook aligns with Revolut’s ambitious objectives to reach a broader customer base while maintaining operational excellence.

As Revolut forges ahead into new regions, the integration of Fourthline’s AI-enhanced compliance infrastructure will be pivotal in delivering fast, secure, and seamless onboarding experiences. With the combined strengths of both companies, Revolut is well-positioned to navigate the complexities of international regulation and maintain its momentum as a leader in digital financial services.
