How are my investments with Revolut protected?

How are my investments with Revolut protected?

If you open an investment account with Revolut Trading Ltd on or before 5 January 2025, our third-party broker safeguards your US shares under US regulations, ensuring that your shares are kept separate from their own assets.

US Oversight and SIPC protection

Your instruments are held for safekeeping by our third-party broker, i.e. DriveWealth, LLC. If DriveWealth, LLC is no longer able to carry on business, your instruments are protected up to $500,000 by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) in the US.

SIPC does not protect against losses derived from market fluctuation. If you open an investment account with Revolut Trading Ltd on or after 6 January 2025, we (Revolut Trading Ltd) safeguard your US shares under UK regulation, ensuring that your shares are kept separate from our own assets.

While we'll still delegate the safeguarding task to our third-party broker, another protection scheme applies.

FSCS protection

Your instruments are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). This scheme may provide compensation of up to £85,000 if RTL fails to return your assets. The FSCS doesn’t cover gains and losses from market fluctuation.

You can read more details about FSCS protection on this page.
