Information needed to open an investment account
During the sign-up process for stock trading, you'll need to answer multiple questions and provide some information for regulatory purposes, including (but not limited to):
- Confirm you aren’t a US citizen/resident. See this FAQ for more
- Enter your national ID (NIN) based on your first nationality. Visit this page for more
- Provide an occupation close to your current job
- Confirm if you’re affiliated with any financial institution
- Your TIN must match your country of residence
If you don’t have a TIN, if you’re a student, or your tax residency doesn’t match your Revolut account, you can’t open an investment account. If your residence differs from your nationality, we’ll request a reporting number (TIN or national ID) as required by regulations.
Common reasons applications may be declined
Your investment account application may be rejected or delayed in the following circumstances:
- The TIN you enter must match the one in your Revolut account
- If they don’t match, your application may be declined
- If you’ve had an investment account before, extra checks are required before approval
- See this FAQ for more details
If your investment account verification is pending for longer than 2 business days, you can contact us via chat in the Revolut app.
