¹When you invest, your capital is at risk. Investment services are provided by Revolut Trading Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the FCA (FRN: 933846).

1. Multi-currency accounts and real-time currency exchange

A multi-currency account is a digital account that lets you hold, swap, and spend various currencies in one place. We let you hold 38 different currencies and spend in over 150 currencies around the world, so you don't need to open a different account for every currency you use.

Converting money with us means you get to use the Revolut exchange rate. We add a small fee on weekends when the markets are closed, or if you go over your plan limits. Compare our plans.

2. Low-cost global spending and instant transfers between friends

Revolut customers can send money to each other instantly and for free, no matter where either person is in the world. This makes us a faster alternative to the 3–5 day processing times common with standard international SWIFT transfers.

You can send money to 160+ countries with us. We use local networks whenever we can, so your money gets there fast. Depending on your plan, you have a set amount you can convert each month without any extra fees.

Exchange fees, global transfer fees, fair usage limits, and T&Cs apply to our rates. Weekend fees may apply. Fees are plan-dependent.

3. An easy-to-use app with budgeting and spending tools

Manage your money in one simple app. Use our tools to automatically sort your spending, so you can see exactly what you've spent on food, travel, or fun each month. We've also got savings accounts to help you easily put money away for the future.

  • Categories: see your spending by type or shop straight away
  • Savings accounts: save for a holiday or a rainy day
  • Budgeting rules: set a limit for different spending categories each month
  • Money charts: see where your money goes at a glance

T&Cs apply.

4. Access your investment portfolio in the same app

Build your wealth while managing your everyday finances in one app, with access to over 4,000 global stocks and ETFs.

With us, you can buy fractional shares, which means you can own a piece of your favourite brands for as little as £1 (other fees may apply). You don’t need to buy a whole share to get started.

Remember that the value of your investments can go up as well as down, and you may get back less than you invested. Fractional shares may not benefit from voting rights, may not always be transferable, and are subject to volatility and liquidity risks. Read more in our fractional shares FAQ.

18+ only, T&Cs apply.
