How do I prove my nature of business?

To prove the nature of your business, simply provide a clear description of the types of products/services your business offers.

We'll also require you to submit proof that confirms your nature of business. The application form lists the documents you can provide to help us confirm your nature of business.

Generally speaking, we'll typically accept the following documents:

  • A clear business description and a fully working website or online sales platform (learn more)
  • An invoice in the business' name with a clear indication of the services or goods being transacted (dated in the last 6 months) and a matching bank statement from a physical bank that confirms that the transaction was paid into the company's account (learn more). We recommend highlighting the invoice payment in the bank statement you submit
  • A contract with a customer that has a clear indication of the services or goods being transacted, signed by both you and your customer (dated in the last 3 years)
  • A supplier agreement that allows Revolut to see a clear indication of the services or goods of your business, signed by your supplier (dated in the last 3 years)
