Revolut to offer UK, EU stock trading solutions after scoring license

By Gloria Methri

FinTech Revolut has been granted a trading licence from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), paving the way for it to start offering UK-listed stocks.

The receipt of this license makes Revolut Trading an authorised investment firm, allowing it to improve the user experience for its 650,000+ existing UK trading customers.

Since 2019, Revolut has operated its Trading feature as an Appointed Representative with a Principal in the UK. This partnership allowed the FinTech to offer an investment service through its app, where retail customers could buy and sell shares listed in the United States.

Of note, in 2025, Revolut is considering introducing UK and EU stocks and ETFs, refreshing the app and launching new products and features. It commits to helping customers of all wealth levels feel confident in making good investment decisions and understand the associated risks.

Yana Shkrebenkova, Head of Wealth and Trading UK at Revolut, said, “Having launched our successful investment product five years ago, we strive to bring best-in-class investment products to our customers in the UK. We know that there is so much more our trading customers want from our platform, and we are working hard to deliver on this, rolling out new features safely and considerately. Revolut exists to help people get more out of their money, and today’s announcement is another step in our journey of delivering that.”

Nothing currently changes for customers who invest with Revolut, and UK customers can continue to use the app’s trading features as they always have.

The announcement comes about three months after the company landed a British banking licence with restrictions from the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA).

The announcement also comes five days after Revolut launched its cryptocurrency exchange in the U.K. and expanded it to Europe. The X exchange service, designed for professional crypto traders, is now available in 30 new European Economic Area (EEA) countries. It lets European crypto traders buy and sell more than 200 cryptocurrencies using Revolut’s desktop-based platforms.
