Revolut steigt bei europäischer Bezahl-Wallet „Wero“ ein
Isn't Revolut that company owned by the son of a member of the board of Russia's Gazprom? Weren't they also partnering with a mobile phone company that was owned by Russians, so to get around sanctions they sold it to a German Russophile for €1, meanwhile continuing to pay profits to sanctioned Russians?
Revolut isn't really a good alternative for Buy European - and I say that as a user myself. By all means take advantage of the deals and low rates (good currency exchange rates), but be wary of integrating it into your traditional banking and definitely think twice before making it your main bank.
Also, they very intentionally decided to block use of their app on custom ROMs, cutting out all Graphene/Calyx/e/OS users.
So... not great.
Are there any banks that really work without google services? I hope the EU will force banks to work without google services someday.
At least you can get around that.
Is this list outdated?

TLDR:
"Storonsky went on to release an open letter rejecting accusations of the company’s potential links to the Kremlin. In the letter, he assures customers that Revolut has data servers only in the EU. It states that Storonsky’s father is an engineering scientist for the company Promgaz, without specifying that this belongs to the Russian gas conglomerate Gazprom. It also declares that DST Global Fund’s only connection to Russia was that one of its six partners, Yuri Milner, was born in Russia."
GNU Taler?
They exploited job applicants and made them work for free too.
