Revolut Founder Nik Storonsky Lists UAE as Main Residence, Filings Show

Companies House records date the move to October 2024, highlighting tension between the founder’s new base versus Revolut’s public UK commitments.

Overview

  • A UK corporate filing published on October 7 lists the United Arab Emirates as Nik Storonsky’s main residence, effective October 2024.
  • The update comes weeks after Revolut opened a new global headquarters in London and announced a £3 billion UK investment with 1,000 planned jobs.
  • The filing contrasts with a June comment to Forbes in which the company said Storonsky remained a UK tax resident.
  • Analyses of Companies House data report thousands of directors have recorded overseas moves following the abolition of the non-domiciled tax regime.
  • Revolut has strengthened ties in the Gulf, including a Dubai office, a UAE operating license and backing from Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala, while reporting on its UK banking license status remains inconsistent.
