Revolut, a fintech company with over 70 million customers globally and close to 5 million in Romania, announced today the nomination of Wiktor Stopa to lead Revolut’s Growth and Marketing Department for Central and Eastern Europe. He is also responsible for coordinating the same type of activities in Western Europe.

By 2025, the region comprising nine markets (Romania, Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Latvia, Estonia) reached close to 17 million retail customers, increasing its customer base by 3 million new users. Last year, Revolut onboarded on average one new customer every ten seconds in the region.

Last year, a series of key moments were marked in CEE: the operationalization of the Revolut Bank branch in Romania, exceeding the 2 million customer threshold in Hungary, the launch of the mortgage loan product in Lithuania, the successful migration to the Euro in Bulgaria, the launch of Revolut Mobile plans in Poland, and accelerated growth in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

„We want to build trust-based relationships with our 5 million customer strong community in Romania. We want them to keep recommending Revolut to their family and friends. Our ambition is to become the primary bank account for our Romanian customers. The ‘app with the letter R’ offers services unavailable in traditional banking. I invite everyone to follow us online in Romania and to test our new features, products, and services.” – said Wiktor Stopa, Head of Growth for Western Europe and CEE at Revolut.

Wiktor Stopa joined Revolut in 2022 as head of development and marketing for the DACH region countries (Austria, Switzerland, and Germany). From 2023, he is responsible for business growth across the Western European region (France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland). This will not change, but from 2026, Poland and other CEE markets (Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia) will join Wiktor Stopa’s direct oversight. This represents more than 30 million of Revolut’s customers.

Before joining Revolut, Wiktor Stopa worked as the Head of Offline Marketing at CLARK, a European insurtech headquartered in Frankfurt (2018-2022). He was involved as a mentor at the Mentoring Club in Berlin (2020-2022). Previously, he built the marketing strategy for the fintech LIQID in Berlin (2018) and developed the marketing agency Leverante Group’s business in the UK and Asia (2014-2018). He studied in the Netherlands and China. He lives in Germany and spends his holidays with his family in Poland.
