How are my investments with Revolut protected?
What if the third-party broker fails?
In the US, if a brokerage firm ceases to operate, the assets of their clients are normally transferred as soon as possible to another registered brokerage firm. The third-party broker is required to keep their clients’ securities and money separate from their own so that even if the third-party broker fails, their clients’ assets are safe.
Brokers are also required to meet minimum net capital requirements to reduce the likelihood of insolvency and to be a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which protects client securities accounts of up to $500,000.
What if Revolut fails?
After your orders have been accepted and executed, your instruments will be executed by the third-party broker, who will arrange for them to be held in accordance with applicable laws. We won’t be responsible for safeguarding your instruments, and we can’t do so legally.
