Revolut, the digital challenger bank, is facing a third review by authorities in Lithuania, the country that sponsored its pan-European banking licence last year.

The Lithuanian parliament has voted to review the under-fire banking start-up to determine whether the company threatens the country’s national security interests. Revolut has offered its full cooperation and says it has nothing to hide.
