Verdict
Revolut Trading offers commission-free US stock access with a decent 0.25% FX rate — significantly better than most banks. But its stock offering is limited (~2,000 US stocks and some ETFs), research is minimal, and it lacks advanced order types. Best as a convenience feature for existing Revolut users rather than a dedicated investment platform.
Full review
Revolut Trading is the investing functionality built into the Revolut super-app, available to Revolut account holders as part of their existing subscription tier. Unlike opening a separate brokerage account, Revolut Trading requires no additional onboarding beyond the standard Revolut account — customers who already use Revolut for banking, FX, or payments can activate stock trading in a few taps.
This seamless entry point is the primary advantage: for Revolut's tens of millions of users, the zero-friction activation means they can start investing in US stocks without creating another account, funding a separate balance, or learning another platform. The FX conversion that happens when a GBP or EUR Revolut account buys USD-denominated stocks uses Revolut's existing FX rates — at the mid-market rate during weekdays for qualifying plan tiers, or with a 1% markup at weekends and on the Standard plan above the fair usage limit.
The investment product is offered through Revolut's regulated entity in the UK (FCA-regulated) and via European entities for EU customers. The product offers stocks and ETFs, with fractional shares available from USD 1. US, UK, and some European stocks are accessible.
The primary limitation is depth: Revolut Trading is not a professional brokerage platform. The order types are limited (market order and basic limit orders), the research tools are minimal compared to IBKR or even Freetrade, and the selection of securities, while broad for casual investors, is narrower than a dedicated brokerage. For investors who want to make a basic monthly purchase of a few stocks or ETFs alongside their regular Revolut usage, it is entirely serviceable. For serious equity investors who want advanced tools, order types, or the full range of US market securities, a dedicated broker is more appropriate.
Revolut Trading earns the most consideration for existing Revolut customers who want to start investing without the friction of opening a separate account, and for investors whose primary need is buying a small number of US or UK blue-chip stocks within an already-used app.
