Revolut Hits Record €296 Million in Monthly Transactions In Malta
Sep 30 2024 Share

Revolut has seen significant growth in Malta, with the number of Maltese businesses using the platform increasing fivefold in the past year and retail customers tripling since January, Times of Malta reported.

The fintech company reported that by July, business accounts had surged by over 170%, growing faster than in other Southern European countries.

According to a ToM report, by early September, monthly business-to-business transactions in Malta through Revolut reached a record €296 million, more than double the €142 million in Greece and matching figures in Portugal, despite Malta’s smaller population.

Maltese businesses transferred nearly half the amount of those in larger economies such as the Netherlands (€660 million) and close to a third of France’s (€860 million).

Experts suggest that businesses are drawn to Revolut for its convenient payment methods, such as transactions via phone number or QR code.

While Revolut’s growth is impressive, local banking experts believe that businesses are unlikely to abandon traditional banks completely, instead opting to use Revolut for specific services alongside their existing accounts. Globally, Revolut now serves 45 million customers across 38 countries.

Sep 30 2024 Share

The last nest for the summer 2024 season in Gozo finally hatched – with volunteers now being able to take a well deserved break.

‘This last nest decided to hatch in a bit of a rush with no prior signs at 3.45am on Thursday morning. The majority of the hatchlings all came out in one go, they made their way down the runway and safely in to the sea.’

‘Today, after the 3rd night of hatching, we excavated the nest under the presence of ERA, and found a 9 more live hatchlings. These were safely released in to the sea, other than 2 hatchlings which appeared to be struggling so these have been taken in for observation by our vet.’

Nature Trust thanked all the volunteers who helped out in keeping the nests safe and for all their dedication.

‘Nesting season this year had many surprises and challenges, including periods of strong wind and waves which took an enormous amount of effort from our volunteers to build a sand wall to keep the nests safe. We also had a daylight nesting for the first time, and all 3 of our Gozo nests hatched earlier than expected this year!’
