UK's Revolut Adds Viator Experiences

The UK-based fintech app Revolut, which claims 30 million users, has added a in-app experiences marketplace, in partnership with Tripadvisor's Viator.

The app now features some 300,000 tours, activities, and attractions, offering users options like "traversing the rocky Agafay Desert on camelback or taking a relaxing dip in Budapest's Széchenyi Thermal Baths."

The Revolut experiences marketplace, available to its UK and Europe customers, offers split bills for group trips, no booking fee, and discounts on experiences up to 10% depending on the user's Revolut plan. 

The addition of tours and activities follows the app's initial launch of selling accommodation in 2021 in a move described as wanting to become a Super App by offering all travel-related products. The app's other travel products include holiday home rentals, hotels, travel insurance, and currency exchange. Revolut said it also wants to add flights and car rental bookings eventually. 

Revolut stated its customers make 400 million transactions a month, with its year-on-year data for May 2023 showing UK spending on tourist attractions was up by 9%.
