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're not a US citizen/resident. Read this FAQ for more
- Enter your national ID (NIN) based on your first nationality
- Enter your current occupation
- Declare any financial affiliations (e.g. stock exchange)
- Share marital status and spousal consent if needed
- TIN must match your country of residence
If you don’t have a TIN, such as if you’re a student or your tax residency doesn’t match your Revolut account, you won’t be able to open an investment account. If your residence differs from your nationality, we’ll request a reporting number (usually a TIN or national ID) as required by law.
Common reasons applications may be declined
Your investment account application may be rejected or delayed in the following circumstances:
- If you had an investment account before, extra checks are required
- The TIN(s) you entered must match those in your Revolut account
- Your spouse hasn’t consented or we couldn’t verify the consent
- Read this FAQ for alternative spousal consent methods
If your investment account verification is pending for longer than 2 business days, you can contact us via chat in the Revolut app.
