Additionally, your business must not be related to unsupported or high-risk industries to be eligible for Revolut Business.

To open a Revolut business bank account, you’ll need to provide documents that prove your identity, your company’s legitimacy, and the nature of your business activity. The key requirements include:

• Identity verification: A valid national ID, passport, full driving licence, or residence permit. (Short-term, tourist, and student visas are not accepted.) You’ll also be asked to complete a video selfie.
• Proof of operating address: For example, a rental agreement of at least 6 months, a utility bill, or a bank statement from a physical bank. PO boxes and virtual addresses are not accepted.
• Proof of business activity: Evidence showing what your company does, such as a link to an active website or online sales platform, a recent (within 6 months) client contract, proof of regulation, or supplier invoices.
• Company registration documents: Certificate of incorporation or business registration, plus supporting documents like the Articles of Association, Partnership Agreement, or Audited Annual Report.
• Ownership details: A document listing all directors and shareholders with more than 25% ownership.

Revolut may request additional information depending on your business type or industry. Any extra requirements will appear directly in your application menu, with guidance from an onboarding agent if needed.

Opening a Revolut Business account is a 100% online process that can be done within 10 minutes through the website or the Revolut app. While the process is straightforward, here’s an overview of what to expect.

Step 1 - Sign Up

The first step is to head to the Revolut Business page and click "Sign up" or “Get Started”.

Alternatively, you can get the Revolut Business mobile app from the App Store or Google Play Store. Make sure to download the Revolut Business app (with a black background), not the personal one (with a white background).

Once downloaded, simply click on "Sign up" within the app.

Step 2 - Fill out a Short Online Application Form and Create a Password

After clicking "Sign up," you'll be prompted to choose your country of incorporation and your corporate structure.

Following that, either enter your email address or sign up using your Google or Apple account and provide your phone number for a six-digit verification code.

After verifying your phone number, then set up your account password.

Step 3 - Provide Your Personal Information

Next, Revolut will ask you to provide the following information:

• Your full name
• Your date of birth
• Your residential address

Step 4 - Provide Business Information and Fundamental Documents

In this step, share your company details, such as the registration number and tax address. Revolut requires you to upload specific documents to activate your business account, including a personal ID, business plans, and incorporation documents.

Step 5 - Join a Short Queue and Provide Additional Documentation

After submitting your application, you will enter a brief queue. Revolut will review your application, typically within 24 hours. However, approval times may vary depending on the complexity of your application and any additional documents required.

Revolut will contact you if there are any additional steps or requests for documents.

H3: Step 6 - Receive Account Details

Once your application is approved, you should be able to access your new business account and start using the Revolut Business app.

Revolut Business account holders registered within the UK should have access to the following accounts:

• A GBP account details with a sort code and account number for GBP payments
• An EUR account details with an IBAN number for EUR transfers within the EEA
• A SWIFT account for international transfers.

Once set up, you can begin adding funds to your account!

While Revolut is a great option for businesses focused on the UK and European markets, as your business expands, you may need an additional account that better fits your needs. If you're looking to grow in the Asian market, consider Statrys.
