Neobanking Valuations - September 2025


About this report

September 2025 update on neobanking valuation multiples: still a winner-takes-all market, with πŸ‡§πŸ‡· Nubank, πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Revolut, and πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ WeBank dominating the industry across all metrics, with πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ Klarna transforming itself from a BNPL player to a full-fledged neobank.

Nubank dethroned - valued at $75B in the latest secondary share sale, Revolut is now the largest neobank in the world in terms of valuation. Revolut is also valued significantly higher than Nubank (18.3x vs. 5.8x revenue and 53.6x vs. 32.7x pre-tax profit).

πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ Klarna's second act: Swedish fintech unicorn is gearing up for its IPO, rumoured to be valued as high as $14B. Klarna is ditching its previous positioning as a pure-play BNPL (buy now, pay later) platform and becoming a true neobank. Klarna partnered with Visa to roll out its debit card in the US and recently launched FDIC-backed deposit accounts.

Neobanking is *very* strong in Europe, and in particular the UK. London is home to 4 out of the 10 world's biggest neobanks (πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Revolut, πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Wise, πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Monzo Bank, πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Starling Bank), and many other category-defining platforms were founded in the UK, like πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Curve, πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Monese, πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Tide, πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ OakNorth or πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Chip.

In Asia, Tencent-backed WeBank serves already nearly half a billion (!) customers in China. Two large neobanks operate in Korea - KakaoBank and Kbank, the latter one looking to IPO by 2026.

Data and methodology

Underlying data

Multiples is a valuation analytics platform. Public markets data is powered by FactSet and Morningstar, harmonized and enhanced by us. Private transaction data is multi-sourced, aggregated from harvesting public information, agreements with 3rd party providers, proprietary sourcing and data engineering. All data is verified and provided with an extensive manual process (no AI involved). This report is built on data that is available at multiples.vc. For more information, please visit multiples.vc or contact us at hi@multiples.vc.

Public companies

The foundation of our public comps are analyst estimates and historical financials, powered by FactSet (consensus analyst estimates) and Morningstar (historical data). Analyst estimates are provided by FactSet by taking input from 50+ equity research analysts (the highest amount across all financial data providers). Data points are calendarized to December where relevant: retrieved data on financial year ends (e.g. FY, FY+1 etc.) are mapped to calendar years (2024A, 2025E etc.) before the appropriate month weights are then applied to prior/future fundamentals. We emphasise valuation multiples and operational ratios, any raw figures are harmonised to USD for comparison purposes.

Private transactions

We source deal data from 3rd party databases, company filings, press releases, and our own proprietary data sets built over years of investment banking careers. We harmonize and unify data in-house to form a unique data set of disclosed transactions. We triple-check deal data through a proprietary red-flagging system, compare with verified online sources, and sense-check with our investment banking team. We exclude undisclosed and suspicious-looking data points. Our dataset is continuously monitored for accuracy. EV calculation: if data permits, we apply our own logic to get to the EV. For example, for a large M&A deal with available information on the target's net debt, we might adjust a valuation to fully reflect an accurate EV. In all other cases, we take the reported valuation as the numerator. Financials: we source LTM revenue and LTM EBITDA data from company filings, press releases, or other verified sources. If LTM data is unavailable, we take the 'next best-fit' period (run-rate or calendar year), provided it makes sense in a given case. For example, if a deal closed in November 2024, we might take full-year 2024 revenue as a revenue benchmark.
