The entity is central to Revolut’s European lending business and supports activity across several EU markets.\n\nThe appointment comes as Revolut reorganises its European leadership and establishes a western European headquarters in Paris. Béatrice Cossa-Dumurgier is set to lead that regional hub, while Fast will focus on banking operations in markets including Poland, Finland and the Netherlands.\n\nThe hire strengthens Revolut’s senior banking expertise at a time when it is moving beyond payments into regulated lending, deposits and broader retail-banking services. It also intensifies competitive pressure on incumbent banks and digital challengers across Europe.\n\n## Company details\n\n- **Company:** Revolut Ltd\n\n- **Listing:** Privately held\n\n- **Sector:** Fintech\n\n- **Executive:** Kuba Fast\n\n- **Release time:** 10 July 2026; exact publication time not displayed in the accessible source\n\n**Source:** The Times."}
