Revolut has launched Revolut Research, a dedicated AI research unit developing proprietary foundational models like PRAGMA in partnership with Nvidia, aimed at enhancing fraud detection, credit risk assessment, and personalised financial product recommendations using data from 80 million customers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 2 sources have reported it between 25 Aug 2026 and 26 Aug 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You now face a shift where building your own AI models inside the company is becoming the standard to stay competitive in fintech. Outsourcing AI will increasingly limit your ability to deliver smarter, faster financial services that customers expect.
