Revolut streamlines registration with itsme® integration for the Belgian market

Revolut bank account creation is quicker and more reliable thanks to the itsme integration, with over 80% of the Belgian active adult population using their digital identity. ​New users can skip manual data entry and document collection steps.

Revolut, the online bank with over 70 million customers worldwide—of which one million in Belgium, announced the integration of itsme into its sign-up process. itsme is the trusted standard for digital identity in Belgium. This strategic update enables Belgian residents to create a Revolut account in just a few clicks, combining the convenience of the local digital identity provider with Belgium’s fastest-growing bank.
