The London-based company plans to raise the funds through a combination of newly issued shares and the sale of existing stock, the report said.
Greenoaks, a U.S. investment firm that specializes in backing high-growth technology ventures like Robinhood and Stripe, is in talks to lead the round, although final terms have not been confirmed.

Revolut offers users the possibility of gaining exposure to various cryptocurrencies and crypto stocks. It’s working on rolling out Lightning Network payments for European users.
