Opening a bank account is a pain. There are a bunch of hurdles to jump through including credit checks, providing a proof of address and trips to a bank branch with your ID.

„Our new feature enables all Revolut customers, across 42 European countries, to open a free Euro account straight from their smartphone. Whether you’re in the UK, Switzerland or Germany – you can open a personal Euro account in 60 seconds.”, says Revolut.

Existing Revolut users can activate their personal Euro account in a single tap. „Go to the ‘Top Up’ tab in the app, select ‘By bank transfer’ and choose Euros. Then simply tap ‘Activate’ to generate your personal IBAN instantly.”
You can share your Euro account details with anyone easily in the Revolut app. Just hit the share button in the top-right corner of the Euro account page.
