Inside Revolut: How Products Get Built in a Regulated World

In this episode of Taking Care of Business, I’m joined by William Findlay, Director and Head of Regulatory at Revolut.We explore how Revolut, one of the world’s fastest-growing fintechs, builds and ships products at global scale while operating in one of the most heavily regulated industries.William shares how the regulatory function actually works inside a high-growth company — from being involved at the earliest stages of product development, to assessing risk in practice, and working closely with product teams to ensure ideas can move from concept to customer safely and efficiently.We also discuss how regulation has shaped fintech innovation, what happens when companies scale globally, and why the best regulatory teams don’t block products — they help deliver them.This is a conversation about decision-making, risk, and what it really takes to build products in a complex, fast-moving environment.
