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):
- You must confirm you're not a US citizen, as we can’t open investment accounts for US citizens outside the US
- Your national ID (NIN) must match your first nationality. See this FAQ
- Your TIN must match the country of residence on your Revolut account
If you don’t have a TIN, if you’re a student, or your tax residency doesn’t match your Revolut account, you can’t open an investment account. If your residence differs from your nationality, we’ll need a TIN or national ID. Learn more about updating tax info in this FAQ in our help centre.
Common reasons applications may be declined
Your investment account application may be rejected or delayed in the following circumstances:
- The TIN(s) you enter must match those in your main Revolut account
- If you’ve had an investment account before, extra checks are required before approval

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