How To Open A Revolut Account In The UK. (2024 guide)

Revolut is one of the most popular neo-banks in the United Kingdom, and for good reason: it's quick to open an account and start banking directly compared to traditional banks. Since its founding in 2015, Revolut has amassed more than 25 million retail customers and 500,000 business customers.

If you are a new immigrant to the UK, Revolut is one of your best options for getting started with the finance system there. Opening a personal standard account is free, and you can easily create one from your mobile phone in minutes.

We break down the steps involved in creating a Revolut account below. 

• Step 1: Download the Revolut app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

• Step 2: Enter your phone number. A six-digit verification pin will be sent to your mobile number. Enter the pin into the app.

  
  Tip: It's preferable to open an account with a UK phone number, but Revolut allows you to open an account with other countries' mobile numbers.

• Step 3: Indicate your country of residence.

  

• Step 4: Provide your name and date of birth.

  

• Step 5: Input your home address and email address.
