Dividends
A dividend is a distribution of a company's earnings to shareholders, determined by its board of directors. To receive dividends, you must hold securities (whole or fractional) before the ex-dividend date. Any stocks bought on or after this date are ineligible.
Taxes on dividends
Revolut automatically processes dividends into your investment account:
- For US stocks: Non-US customers may be subject to up to a 30% withholding tax on US dividends, depending on their country's tax treaty
- For EU stocks and ETFs: Withholding tax percentage depends on the origin country of security and can be up to 35%
Revolut does not provide tax or investment advice for its execution and safeguarding products (such as Stocks and ETFs). You should make your own decisions and seek independent professional advice if you have any questions.
How dividends work
Dividends can be paid in cash or stocks:
- Cash dividends: you can view cash dividend details, in your investment transactions under 'Dividend'. We'll notify you when dividends are credited to your account
- Stock dividends: if you receive a dividend, your portfolio holdings will be adjusted accordingly
How to view cash dividends in the Revolut app
- Go to Invest on the bottom menu of the Revolut app, or 'Portfolio' if you're using the Revolut Invest app. To learn more about the app, go to this FAQ in our Help Center
- Scroll down to 'Transactions' and tap 'See all'

At Revolut, eligible shareholders typically receive dividends 1-2 trading days after the payment date. Currently, our app doesn't offer automatic reinvestment of dividends into the shares of the paying company.
