    , bitcoin cash (BCH), XRP and stellar (XLM).
  • Australian members of the firm's premium Metal service will get first access.

  • In early August, Revolut made its first foray into the Australian market with fiat-based banking services including remittances and loans.
  • Founded in July 2015, U.K.-based Revolut is a financial services platform offering banking products through its mobile app, generally targeting younger, web-savvy customers.
  • The company has been expanding its crypto offerings internationally this year, most recently to the U.S.

  • Previously Revolut conducted cryptocurrency transactions on behalf of its customers.
  • The fintech firm began its foray into crypto in the summer of 2017 after completing a $66 million series B funding round led by Index Ventures, BitPay, Xapo, Balderton Capital and Ribbit Capital.
