Revolut Appoints Philip Kelvin as UK Chief Information Officer

Revolut has appointed Tranch Co-Founder Philip Kelvin as the new Chief Information Officer for its UK bank, as reported by FinTech Futures.

Kelvin will report to UK CEO Francesca Carlesi and takes over from Carlos Selonke, who has held the position since September 2021.

Selonke is moving to become the Chief Information Officer for Revolut’s new US operations.

The digital bank is currently three months into its application for a de novo national bank charter in the US, an effort headed by Regional CEO Cetin Duransoy.

Kelvin confirmed on LinkedIn that he assumed the role last week, noting he will focus on scaling the technology, payments and operations at Revolut Bank UK.

The entity secured its full banking license in March and serves around 13 million users in the UK, contributing to the group’s 75 million users globally.

Before joining Revolut, Kelvin co-founded Tranch, an invoice-to-payments platform for law firms, with Beau Allison in 2021.

The pair previously worked together at digital mortgage broker Trussle, where Kelvin served as Chief Financial Officer.

Tranch was acquired by Elite Technology, a firm that was itself bought by Francisco Partners from TPG in September last year.

Kelvin briefly served as Vice President of Product and AI Strategy at Elite before taking a career break at the end of the year.
