Revolut plans to start MVNO activities in Poland
In recent years, Revolut has gone far beyond its roots as a digital banking app. Once known primarily for fee-free currency exchanges and borderless financial services, the London-based fintech powerhouse has been steadily transforming into a lifestyle super app—adding insurance, travel bookings, investment tools, and more. But now, it’s entering entirely new terrain: telecommunications. Revolut mobile plans Poland
After launching a surprisingly robust eSIM offering that gives users affordable global data connectivity in over 100 countries, Revolut is taking a much bolder step—becoming a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO). Following its recent MVNO rollout in the UK and Germany under the “Revolut Mobile” brand, the company is preparing to do the same in Poland, offering traditional telecom services like unlimited calls, SMS, and high-volume data plans.
With millions of loyal users, an agile tech stack, a habit of undercutting incumbents on pricing, and now MVNO ambitions, Revolut is not entering the mobile market as a scrappy startup—it’s entering as a well-funded disruptor with an existing digital ecosystem and massive user base.
Let’s take a closer look at what Revolut is planning for Poland—and why this might just be the beginning of a much larger telecom shake-up across Europe.
Local Offer for Polish Users
According to Telecompaper, the Polish MVNO service will include:
- Unlimited calls and SMS within Poland
- Monthly data bundles of 50 GB or 200 GB, priced via subscription
This positions Revolut to directly compete with local carriers by offering high data allowances and unlimited domestic connectivity, all integrated with the Revolut app.
Background: The MVNO Playbook So Far
Revolut’s path to MVNO status includes:
- eSIM success— Launched in April 2024, these digital SIMs have conducted millions of activations in over 100+ countries and are now Revolut’s top non-financial product by usage.
- Mobile Plans rollout—announced April/May 2025 in the UK and Germany: unlimited calls/data with a 20 GB EU/US roaming allowance for an introductory ~£12.50/month. No long-term contract, deep app integration, and loyalty-based billing via RevPoints.
Expansion roadmap—Following the UK and Germany launches, multiple European markets are next—including Poland.
Why Poland?
- High consumer demand: Polish users face rising mobile costs and complex operator plans.
- Fintech complement: With Revolut’s growing presence in Poland, especially in digital banking and eSIM, extending into mobile is a logical vertical move.
- Market readiness: Economic pressure has favoured MVNOs, which granted them 20 % of subscriptions last year (up from 12 % a decade ago).
The Bigger Picture
Revolut aims to blend fintech and telecom services into a seamless experience:
- Manage banking, travel, and communications within one integrated app
- Offer transparent billing, real-time usage tracking, and reward-based subscription options
- Disrupt traditional telcos by eliminating hidden fees, complicated contracts, and outdated customer service
What We Know & What’s Pending
| Already Known | Still TBD |
|---|---|
| Polish MVNO features: unlimited calls/SMS, 50 GB/200 GB plans | Pricing for Poland, expected launch date |
| Revolut’s MVNO will run on eSIM; no physical SIMs | Local operator partners |

Timeline Outlook
- April/May 2025: Revolut’s MVNO preview in the UK/Germany launched.
- Mid-to-late 2025: More EU markets—including Poland—are expected to follow in rapid succession.
- Q4 2025?: Probable window for formal Poland rollout, particularly given pre-announcement in sector media .
Final Take
Revolut’s push into MVNO territory in Poland represents a strategic effort to vertically integrate its digital services and challenge established telecom operators. If they can deliver generous data allowances, transparent pricing, and seamless app experience—and pair it with attractive loyalty benefits—it could reshape mobile offerings and force traditional carriers to respond.
What to Watch Next
- Official announcements: Look for signs via Revolut’s Polish website, in-app updates, and PR.
- Pricing and plan tiers: Will Poland replicate the UK/Germany or introduce unique bundles?
- Operator deals: Identifying partner networks will be key to understanding coverage and quality.
- Launch timeline: Monitoring tech news and Revolut’s channels will indicate Poland’s official MVNO launch window.
In short, Revolut’s move into the Polish MVNO market is well underway, promising simple, app-based mobile plans featuring unlimited voice/SMS and sizeable data packs. If the rollout mirrors its UK/Germany strategy, Poland could soon see a very compelling new mobile contender.
