Revolut has opened a new chapter in digital finance by integrating with Polygon, enabling nearly fee-free remittances and crypto-powered card transactions across its 65 million-user footprint (CoinDesk).

The move lets users send and receive USDC, USDT and POL via Polygon’s low-cost network and signals how fintech platforms are quietly evolving beyond traditional banking rails (FinTech Weekly).

More than just crypto-bells and whistles

What stands out is how this means real-world payments, not just speculative trading. Revolut reports that more than $690 million has already flowed through Polygon-powered transfers, illustrating how blockchain is becoming a practical tool and not only for early adopters (Bitget).

The integration offers features like zero-fee remittances, in-app crypto card spending and staking for POL, turning what used to be a niche crypto wallet experience into mainstream finance (FinanceFeeds).

Implications for fintech and talent leaders

For fintech strategists and HR teams alike, this shift matters. Operations now need to handle a hybrid stack: traditional payments, digital assets, staking infrastructure, and global remittance flows. Talent profiles will change; hiring may need to focus as much on blockchain-rail expertise as on mobile-app growth.

This blending of fintech, payments Mastercard rails, and blockchain infrastructure shows that the industry is no longer “payments now, crypto later”—it’s all happening at once. (CoinLaw)
