Official Revolut Business signup: eligibility, company papers, identity checks, then the first top-up.
To open Revolut Business for a company, use the official path hereink readers can check: revolut.com/business or the official Business app. Eligibility, documents, identity, then the first top-up.
The query is how to open a Revolut Business account. The company must already be registered in a supported country. No ready-made accounts. No fake KYC.
Check whether you can apply
Company and country
The company must exist and be active. The country of registration must appear on the application list. Legal form follows that list; if yours is missing, stop.
Who must verify
The authorised applicant, directors or controlling officers, and shareholders at the local threshold (often about 25%) usually complete identity checks. Invite them on the official link. Do not photograph IDs for them.
Use real company papers and your own ID on the official flow. Approval is not guaranteed. Do not gamble with forged files.
From the site to the first top-up
- 1Open the official Business page
In a browser go to revolut.com/business and pick the company’s country and language. Skip “we open it for you” ads. You can also use the official Revolut Business app.
- 2Read eligibility
Confirm an incorporated company, a supported country, a listed legal form, and a permitted industry. Some markets also require the applicant’s home address in a named region. If it does not match, stop. Do not invent a nationality or address.
- 3Register and fill company data
Use a company email and phone. Enter legal name, registration number, registered address, operating address, and activity so they match the registry papers.
- 4Upload company documents
Follow the list: recent registry extract, articles or certificate of incorporation, address proof. Expired extracts, cropped pages, or watermarks over key fields often bounce.
- 5Finish identity checks
Photograph a valid passport or national ID and complete the face match. Invite other directors and qualifying shareholders on the official flow. Do not send codes or raw ID images to a middleman.
- 6Wait and watch todos
Identity review can take several business days. Check Home for extra requests. Upload only what they asked for.
- 7First top-up
When the account is usable, open Add money. Prefer a transfer from a bank account in the same company name, in the currency shown. Arrival can take days. If card top-up appears, follow on-screen limits and fees.
Document and blocker checklist
| Blocker | Check first | Usual fix |
|---|---|---|
| Form not listed | Legal structures on the apply page | Stop; use a supported entity |
| Extract rejected | Issue date from the registry | A clear copy from the last three months |
| ID failed | Expiry and photo quality | Full frame, no crop; official ID list only |
| Funds missing | Payer name and currency | Same-name company account and the given reference |
- Fits
- Registered companies whose authorised people can supply real papers and officer IDs and only need an official multi-currency business account.
- Does not fit
- Unregistered operators, blocked industries, or anyone buying a ready-made account or forging files. That breaks the rules and the account is usually closed.
Can a personal Revolut become Business automatically?
No. Business is a separate application. Some markets let you link a personal profile with the same phone number, but company checks still run.
Is approval guaranteed?
No. Compliance, industry, and documents can all lead to a refusal. Trust the app notice and official email.
Where must the first top-up come from?
Prefer a bank account in the same company name, using the details and reference from Add money. Rails depend on your entity’s screen.
