What did Revolut do prior to CUBE?

Before CUBE, Revolut relied on individuals conducting manual trawls of the internet for regulatory change. These were then inserted into an Excel spreadsheet.

The previous process involved compliance team members manually reviewing publicly available sources to identify applicable regulatory requirements. Each piece of applicable legislation was then manually inputted into a spreadsheet at paragraph level and requirements that were identified as ‘applicable’ were translated into Revolut’s policies.

Revolut had noted that, without a RegTech solution they risked slow business growth and that there was potential reputational and financial damage if they failed to comply with regulatory requirements.

What problem was CUBE brought in to solve?

Ensure confidence in the process and produce reliable audit trails

Firstly, the existing manual process was not watertight. It did not give the team confidence that they had covered all relevant regulatory changes. In the event of regulatory audits, the team would struggle to find out who had done what, what regulations had been captured, which had been implemented, who was responsible etc. There wasn’t a clear audit trail or ability to have oversight of the process.

Revolut wanted a solution that would allow them to automate the process, but also have oversight of who was doing what, where, across different departments (in a workflow).

Have a solution that was able to capture multiple jurisdictions as they grow

Revolut wanted a solution that would capture regulations across multiple jurisdictions. Revolut would be looking to scale in the coming years and months. They wanted a solution that would be able to aid them in their transition to new regulatory territories.

When you move into new jurisdictions, if you want to operate you will need a banking license and to sign contract with Visa/Mastercard etc. to say that you will comply with the regulatory requirements of the jurisdiction that you are moving into. In the past, the only way to achieve this was 1) to have a person on the ground in that jurisdiction, enacting and monitoring regulatory change or 2) to hire lawyers from different jurisdictions. In Revolut’s case, neither of these options was viable as they look to move into 40 countries. It would be too expensive. They needed a RegTech solution instead.

Have a solution that would translate non-English regulations

As above, as Revolut moves into new territories it needs to adhere to local regulations. In order to adhere to those regulations, they need to understand them. As such, they need to be translated into English. Revolut was looking for a solution that would enable them to have access to translated regulations without hiring freelance transcribers who, again, are costly across 40 jurisdictions.

Why did Revolut choose CUBE?

Revolut chose CUBE as it had:

  • The most extensive coverage of jurisdictions and sources and business areas.
  • The ability to integrate via API to show regulatory workflows and dashboard, offering complete oversight of the regulatory change process.
  • The ability to quickly add new jurisdictions to Revolut’s regulatory arsenal – in a matter of days.

How has CUBE helped Revolut’s regulatory change process?

Oversight of the regulatory change process

Revolut has integrated CUBE with a workflow and a dashboard tool. This enables the team to create tickets pertaining to actions needed to implement regulatory change, which then feeds into a dashboard function that allows the team to have complete oversight of the regulatory change process across all departments.

This allows the Head of Regulatory Change to see see what alerts have come in, what topics they pertain to, which regulatory tickets sit with who, who is enacting them, the time it takes etc. It also allows the team to pull tailored metrics around areas of interest.

In the event of a regulatory audit, this gives Revolut confidence that they haven’t missed anything and can show their regulatory change process from beginning to end, without the need for scrambling.

Expansion into new jurisdictions

CUBE is the only offering that has coverage across all jurisdictions in which Revolut is looking to expand. CUBE enables Revolut therefore to comply in 40 different jurisdictions without the need for people on the ground or costly lawyers. With CUBE you can just set up a relevant profile and you’re away (with necessary fine-tuning).

Translation across jurisdictions

As mentioned above, CUBE provides automated translation which means that growth into new territories is made easier and more cost-effective, without the need for external translators.
