Someone here that can help me prepare for a problem solving case for Revolut? My interview will be on Monday.

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.

Feel free to reach out for practice with real-feel Revolut cases :)

Hi there,

Revolut’s problem-solving case differs a bit from traditional consulting formats. It’s highly product- and data-driven and more on structured thinking under ambiguity.

Typical cases focus on things such as scaling features, diagnosing product or operational issues, and interpreting user metrics or A/B test results. Think: “Card declines are up 15% - what could be the reasons for this?” or “How would you grow Revolut’s crypto product in Europe?”

They’re testing your ability to:

• Break down ambiguous problems
• Prioritize effectively
• Interpret product and business KPIs (e.g., conversion, churn, LTV)
• Communicate concisely

It’s essentially a hybrid between a consulting case and a product manager interview. Prep-wise, you’ll want to get comfortable with funnel analysis, feature trade-offs, and fintech KPIs, and approach each problem with a mix of business and product sense.

Feel free to reach out. I have built a case like that I use with some of my clients.

Cheers,

Florian

I recently helped a candidate prepare for and pass the Revolut interview. I also have examples of real cases they use in their interviews.

Feel free to reach out.

Hi there,

I can help you with that. I have experience with MBB as well as with tech companies’ case session, and I have worked for both types (McKinsey and Nubank).

Feel free to send me a message so we can discuss further details, I’ll be happy to assist you!
