Teens account

To open an independent Revolut Teens account when you're 16-17, all you need is a few things ready. No need for endless paperwork or bank visits — you can do it all from your phone in minutes.

Here's a quick checklist of what you'll need:

• Your phone: you’ll need a valid mobile number to get started
• Your ID: a valid government-issued ID, like your passport or national ID card
• A selfie: a quick selfie to prove you're you

With Revolut, you can open your independent account as soon as you reach 16.

You'll then be able to order your debit card¹ and start managing money on your own, sending transfers, and exchanging currencies.

If you're younger than 16, you can still open a Kids account for 6-15-year-olds and start learning about money management in our Kids & Teens app, with the supervision of a parent or guardian.

Yes, you can open a Revolut Teens account fully online in a few taps if you meet the age requirements.

It's free to open your account with the Standard plan. Other fees like personalisation of debit cards may apply. See full information in the T&Cs.

Opening a Revolut account is a quick and simple process done entirely through the Revolut app.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Download the app: get it from the App Store or Google Play and sign up with your details
2. Verify your identity: we’ll ask you to quickly confirm your identity with a photo of your ID and a selfie
3. Order your card: once your account is verified, you can order your new Revolut card and get started¹

When you turn 18, your account seamlessly graduates with you. It will transition to a full adult Revolut account, unlocking a tonne of new features like investing in stocks, earning interest on your savings, and access to more premium plans. Your money and savings goals will simply move with you, so you can continue building your financial future without missing a beat.

A Revolut Teens account when you're 16-17 gives you a debit card and a dedicated app to manage your money, all on your own.

Here’s how it works:

• Your money: you can receive money directly into your account from a part-time job or family and friends.
• Your spending: use your physical or virtual card to make purchases online and in stores, or add it to Apple or Google Pay for easy mobile payments.
• Your budget: the app helps you track your spending, so you always know where your money is going. You can also create Pockets to save up for your next big goal.
• Your payments: send and receive money instantly with other Revolut friends, making it easy to split a bill or pay someone back.

Why open a teens account? It's your first step towards financial freedom. Here’s why it's a game-changer:

• You're in control: manage your own money and track your spending from your phone, without having to ask for cash
• Start saving smarter: set up goals for things you want, and stay on track with in-app features
• Learn for life: get a headstart on understanding how money works, so you're ready to handle your finances when you're older
• It grows with you: your account will seamlessly transition into a full adult account when you turn 18, so you're set for the future

Yes, a 16-year-old can open their Revolut account alone.

You can start the process by yourself in the Revolut app and get your own account details to receive your pay, manage your finances independently, and take full control of your money.
