he central bank and financial market watchdog said it is continuing to press Revolut, which offers cross-border banking services in Hungary as a licensed entity in Lithuania, to provide its services to Hungarians through a local subsidiary. MNB added that the Lithuanian financial market watchdog earlier informed it that Revolut's local entity wants to set up a branch in Hungary.
