Revolut offers a number of solutions for businesses, including online accounts, international payments and virtual company debit cards.

If you’ve been using Revolut Business but have decided that it’s time for a change, read on. We’ve put together a helpful guide on how to close your Revolut business account in the UK, covering everything you need to know.

We’ll even show you an alternative, the Wise Business account. It’s ideal for low cost international payments, multi-currency spending and much more.

How to close a Revolut Business account

Before you start the process of shutting down your Revolut, there are a few key things you’ll need to do.

This includes clearing the account of all funds and cancelling all pending transactions (or waiting for them to be completed). Only the account owner can request the closure.

All set? Here’s how to close your Revolut Business account online and in the app, using the same steps for both methods:¹

Sign in to your account online or in the Revolut app
Go to ‘Settings’
Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the options to ‘Close account’
You may be asked to provide a reason for closing the account
Follow the on-screen instructions and confirm the closure of your account.

In most cases, the account will be closed instantly. However, there are situations where it may take a little time for the process to be completed.

The steps above are for subscribers on a ‘free’ plan. If you have a paid plan, you’ll need to go to the ‘Billing’ page to change your subscription.

Withdraw money from Revolut Business account

If you need to clear your balance before requesting the closure of your account, here’s how to do it:²

Sign into your Revolut account
Go to ‘Payments’
Select the account you’d like to transfer to from the list, or click the ‘+New’ button to add a new recipient
Follow the on-screen instructions and confirm your transfer.

Revolut Business support

Need help closing your account, or have a question? Unfortunately, there isn’t a dedicated Revolut Business contact number in the UK. Nor is there a Revolut Business support email address you can use.

You’ll need to use the chat support option on the website or app.³

The only exception is if you have a custom Enterprise plan with Revolut, when you may be able to schedule a call with your account manager.

Revolut Business statement

As this is a business account you’re closing, it’s really important to get copies of your transaction history before losing access altogether. You’ll need these for your records and for accounting and tax purposes.

Revolut may not automatically issue you with statements when closing your account. So, it’s a good idea to login and download them before initiating the closure.

Here’s how to download your Statement of Balances:⁴

Go to ‘Settings’
Open the ‘Statements’ page
Select ‘Statement of balances’
Select the date and click ‘Get statement’ to download it.

Revolut Business alternative

When you’re ready for a new account, you’ll be pleased to know that there are plenty of Revolut Business alternatives out there.

One of the best is Wise Business. It’s a fast, easy and powerful business account which makes trading internationally a breeze.
