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):
- National ID must match your first nationality
- Provide an occupation as close as possible to your current job
- Confirm if you’re affiliated with or employed by a stock exchange, FINRA member firm, or municipal securities broker-dealer
- Enter your SSN if applicable
If you don’t have a TIN, if you’re a student, or if 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 tax ID) due to regulations.
Why was my investment account application rejected?
Your investment account application may be rejected or delayed in the following circumstances:
- The SSN you entered doesn’t match the one in your Revolut account
- Ensure both SSNs are the same to avoid delays
- If you’ve previously had an investment account with Revolut, we’ll need to complete extra checks before approving your new sign-up

If your investment account verification is pending for longer than 2 business days, you can contact us via chat in the Revolut app.
