What information do I need to provide to onboard to trading?
During the sign-up process for trading, you'll need to answer multiple questions and provide some information for regulatory purposes.
They include (but are not limited to):
- Confirming you aren't a US citizen: We can't open investment accounts for US citizens outside of the USA as per regulatory requirements
- National identifier details: The national identifier, or national identity number (NIN), is related to your first nationality, as a national of a given country. For more information about the national identifier or national identity number (NIN), go to this FAQ
- Tax identification number: Your TIN has to match the country of your residency (where your Revolut account is registered)
If you don't have a TIN, for example, if you're a student, you won't be able to open an investment account with us.
If your country of residence is different from your country of nationality, we'll request a transaction reporting number, which is usually a tax ID number.

Common reasons investment account applications may be declined
Your application may be rejected or delayed in the following circumstances:
- You provided incorrect TIN(s)
- The TIN(s) provided in your main Revolut account should match the one you enter during the sign-up process. To learn more, read this FAQ in our Help Centre
- If you've previously had an investment account with Revolut, we need to undertake some additional checks before we can approve the sign-up
