TOKYO -- Financial technology companies in Asia face a new competitor, as British digital banking startup Revolut says it has entered the Japanese market with plans to expand elsewhere in the region.
Revolut, founded in 2015, is Britain's fastest-growing fintech player, with 2.8 million users across 28 markets in Europe. It arrives in Japan through a partnership with billionaire Hiroshi Mikitani's Tokyo-based e-commerce group Rakuten.
