Revolut Integrates 1GLOBAL for In-App eSIM Activation and Mobile Data

By fully integrating the 1GLOBAL API, neobank now offers its customers simple, fast access to 1GLOBALS’s low-cost global mobile network. Once activated by the user, an embedded SIM (eSIM) is generated for the mobile device. Revolut integrated 1GLOBAL’s eSIM technology in February of this year.
“Without having to leave the app, users can install an eSIM within one minute,” said Hakan Koç, Founder and CEO of 1GLOBAL. “This is why players from a wide range of industries, such as travel, insurance, fintech, airlines, VIP logistics and more are all coming to us to increase the range of services they offer by integrating our connectivity.”
Instead of having to obtain a physical SIM to access the local network on arrival, customers using apps that integrate 1GLOBAL’s technology will simply set up an eSIM on their device. This gives them complete control of their connection, including a display of data consumption. They can also use the app to buy a data plan even when they’ve already run out of allowance.
