Revolut is to enter the Irish car insurance market, as it continues to expand its business here.

The neobank will open a waitlist for potential customers from Wednesday, and plans to launch later in the spring, the company said in an emailed statement. Revolut claims it will offer premiums that are cheaper than other players in the market.

Among its plans, Revolut says it will offer discounts to drivers who install a device in their car as part of its “smart driving” feature.
