Among the new hires will be software engineers, data scientists, product managers, as well as marketing experts.
Revolut already has a customer base of nearly 15,000 in Germany. Through the new hub, the firm aims to localise its offerings for Germany and broader Europe.
Plans are on to recruit a local marketing and communications team for the initiative.
Revolut co-founder and CTO Vlad Yatsenko said: “There is an incredible amount of technical talent in Berlin, as we begin to scale our operations globally and expand our range of services, finding this kind of talent will be essential.
