I came across this problem during debugging
can you help??
Unfortunately, we are unable to open a business account for you right now.
We know itās disappointing, but in Hungary, we canāt open a business account for applicants living in your country of residence. If you have a verifiable permanent address in Hungary or a related jurisdiction, contact our support team.

Hi
Thanks for following this up.
The 2 questions I had were:
-
As per the HMRC regulations here in the UK. I can use a business name, rather than my personal name for a sole trader business bank account. Is this possible with Revolut? I have already registered a pro freelancer account now (under review), but at no point during registration was that option offered.
-
I will be accepting payments from abroad, Will I be given an IBAN number and what are the Revolut Swift and (if needed) intermediary swift numbers?
Many thanks
Dean
Hi @MisterM23 ,
Unfortunately, you need to use your own name for the freelancer account. 
This happens because a freelancer account is āpersonalā in the sense that belongs to a person and not an entity and would need to contain the userās name only.
For the account details you can check our FAQ link.
Hope this helps.

Wouldnāt that be something to consider for improvement? It is perfectly legal for a person to use a trading name. Iām really sorry, but your explanation sounds a bit like trying to excuse an oversight.
I know many freelancers & sole traders here in the UK, who trade with a trading name. A trading/business name explains what your business is. Also, if your freelancer account is āpersonalā, why does it have āteam managementā features?
If somebody made a payment to my business name (not my personal name), using my revolut account number and sort code, would that payment still reach my account?

The good news is the payment will go through, however if the sending bank supports account name verification (which now almost all banks do) the sender will get a warning that the account name does not match, which they have to override in order to send the money.
I get around this by stating the āaccount nameā on my invoices. Having said that, my real name is part of my trading name, so it doesnāt look out of place in my case, the account name is just shorter. But I agree, if the trading name is completely different it looks odd. In my opinion something Revolut needs to improve on. Same with business addresses really. Some of us have old fashioned trades you canāt do from home and for which we have to rent business premises and therefore have a different business address.

Wow, I didnāt realize that about the business addresses either.
I guess not all sole traders are freelancers, so the āpersonalā attribute really doesnāt apply to many. Maybe an account between a LTD company and freelancer would be a better idea.
I did email the sales team with my questions on Monday, before opening my account on Tuesday (still under review) but received no reply. I am begining to think maybe I should have stuck with a better thought out high street bank 
It seems this was messed up recently.
Revolut reorganised business plans relatively recently, maybe around the time of the introduction of the Pro plan that lives inside the consumer app.
I vaguely remember a table comparing features of various business account plans with various tiers for small business, including freelancers, where registering business names was an option at a higher tier. Details are hazy.
Maybe this was scrapped because it wasnāt very popular? I have no clue. Iād make sure to let business support directly know that this feature is important.

Yes, they changed the plans, when I signed up there were more business plan options. I tried to raise that with support a while ago (before they reorganised the plans). I first got a flat out ānot possibleā as this would be in ābreach of regulationsā. When I asked which regulations that would be and also pointed out that pretty much all other banks can cope with trading names and trading addresses without breaking regulations, there was a bit of backtracking, but it didnāt go anywhere.
Iām not fighting that battle, after ten years running my own business Iām currently contemplating changing direction.

Hi!
Im Borja and Im from Spain. I just opened a business account but revolut denied me.
I just wanna know the reason and if i can do something to be accepted.
thanks
Hi Borja, this is a user community, not Revolut support. Youāre mainly talking to customers here. You can contact the business sales team through this contact form: Meet with the Revolut Sales Team
Iām not sure how things are done in Spain, here in the UK most banks wonāt give you a specific reason for fear of costly complaints, but good luck anyway. Hopefully Revolut is better.
