Opening your investment account
How do I open an investment account for my business?
Only the Business account owner can set up Business Invest. To get started:
- Open Revolut Business and go to 'Treasury' and then 'Invest'
- Follow the sign-up process
- Accept the Invest terms and conditions
Once complete, you'll have access to your Business Invest investment account.
Why was my investment account application rejected?
Common reasons include:
- Your entity is US-incorporated (not eligible)
- Your LEI is invalid or expired
- Your Revolut Business verification (identity checks) is incomplete
- Your country of incorporation is outside the supported UK/EEA population
- A sanctions or financial crime screening flag was raised
If you believe the rejection is incorrect, contact support via our in-app chat.
What is a legal entity identifier (LEI)?
An LEI is a unique 20-character code that identifies your business in financial transactions globally. Under MiFID II regulations, any legal entity trading exchange-traded instruments must hold an active LEI — without one, your business cannot place trades.
If you already have a LEI, enter it during the Invest sign-up process. We'll validate it against the global LEI database (https://www.gleif.org/en).
If you don't have a LEI, Revolut can generate an LEI on your behalf via our partner for a fee of €50, using data already collected during your business sign-up process — no extra paperwork is needed.
