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. You must make your own investment decisions, and you should seek independent professional advice if you have any questions.
Types of dividends
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-app

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.
