Cetin Duransoy, U.S. CEO of Revolut, leads the American expansion of one of the world's fastest-growing fintechs—a company that has redefined digital banking for 75 million customers globally. As Revolut accelerates its U.S. growth following regulatory approvals and strategic partnerships, Duransoy brings a unique perspective on how global fintech challengers compete against entrenched banking infrastructure.
In this keynote, Duransoy discusses what it takes to build digital-first banking at global scale, why the U.S. market presents both opportunity and complexity for fintech disruptors, and how traditional banks and fintechs are converging toward similar models despite starting from opposite ends. From product innovation and customer acquisition to navigating regulatory requirements across jurisdictions, he explores the strategic decisions that separate sustainable fintech growth from hype-driven expansion.
