Revolut Case Interview

Question

Hey

Anyone familiar with Revolut case interviews?

I think they all focus on these four topics:

1. Cost Optimisation

2. Expansion

3.Process Improvement (e.g. reducing time taken to respond to customers)

4. Growth (e.g. grow customers in Spain)

Would be great to get some insights on how best to structure and approach these types of question.

Thanks

Hi there,

Revolut’s problem-solving interview is closer to an MBB-style case, but with a much stronger operational and ownership lens.

What they’re really testing across the three dimensions:

1) Problem solving
You’ll still need clear structure and logic, but expect the problem to be more practical and execution-oriented. Focus on breaking the problem down cleanly, prioritizing what matters most, and working comfortably with numbers and trade-offs. Perfect frameworks matter less than showing good judgment.

2) Creativity
This isn’t about “crazy ideas,” but about generating thoughtful, non-obvious options. Show that you can think beyond the first obvious solution, consider different levers, and adapt if constraints change. Being flexible in your thinking is key.

3) Independence / ownership
This is where it differs most from consulting. Revolut wants to see that you can take initiative, make decisions with incomplete information, and move things forward without constant guidance. Be decisive, explain your assumptions, and don’t wait for permission to act.

How to prepare:

Use MBB-style cases as a base, but always ask yourself “how would I actually execute this?”
Practice driving to a recommendation quickly, then discussing implementation risks and next steps
Get comfortable taking a clear stance and defending it
Avoid over-structuring or waiting for prompts — show ownership

If you approach it like a real business problem where you’re accountable for the outcome, rather than a textbook case, you’ll be well aligned with what Revolut is looking for.

Hi there!

I have helped 3 people that did the PS Revolut interview and have a good idea of what types of questions you may face.

In general, they use cases similar to the ones used in consulting interviews (as there are many consultants there), covering topics such as processes improvements and profitability.

Happy to help you prepare for the interview, DM if you would like to know more about my approach. :)

Best,

Mari
