Revolut enters Irish mobile network market with competitive monthly plan

Revolut launched a new 5G eSIM mobile phone plan in Ireland on Monday, irishexaminer.com reported. The company is offering a monthly rate of 9.99 euros to its first 25,000 customers. Revolut, which currently serves 3.4 million users in Ireland, operates its mobile services completely within the Revolut Bank application. Goosed.ie also reported on the launch of the 9.99 euro offer. [1][2]

The new service allows customers to redeem RevPoints for bill discounts, according to irishexaminer.com and Goosed.ie. The loyalty points are earned through routine spending using Revolut Bank debit or credit cards. Elyas Sadou, the general manager of telecommunications at Revolut, stated that the firm aims to challenge mobile contracts in Ireland that have long suffered from high pricing, hidden fees, and rigid commitments.

Revolut was founded in July 2015 in London, United Kingdom, by Nikolay Storonsky and Vlad Yatsenko to address high foreign exchange fees. The financial technology company initially operated from the Level39 incubator in Canary Wharf, providing users with a virtual account, multi-currency wallet, and prepaid contactless card. [4]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, Revolut experienced a major global service disruption on October 20, 2026. The outage caused application errors, failed debit card payments, and blocked money transfers for users across Ireland and internationally. [5]
