Revolut Business for a Cyprus Ltd 2026 — Setup, Plan Selection, Integration with Cyprus Accounting

1. Eligibility for a Cyprus Ltd

Revolut Business onboards EU-incorporated companies including Cyprus Ltds. Required documents:

• Certificate of Incorporation (Cyprus Registrar HE forms).
• Memorandum & Articles of Association.
• Most recent annual return (HE32) — if past Year 1.
• Beneficial Ownership declaration matching the UBO Register filing.
• Director's passport + proof of address.
• Business description — nature of activity, expected counterparties, expected transaction volume.

Same documents that satisfy Cyprus AML obligations under Law 188(I)/2007 satisfy Revolut's KYC.

2. The five plans (current public pricing)

Revolut Business currently publishes five plans (Free, Basic, Grow, Scale, Enterprise). Pricing tiers in EUR/GBP, FX-allowance and feature differences are published on business.revolut.com and updated periodically — always verify the live page before applying. The 2026 sweet spot for most Cyprus Ltds in their first 2 years: Free or Basic, upgrading to Grow once monthly FX volume justifies it.

Key plan differentiators: number of free local + international transfers per month, included FX allowance before margin kicks in, number of physical / virtual cards, expense-management features, API access, dedicated relationship manager (Enterprise only).

3. Onboarding sequence

1. 1Apply online at business.revolut.com — select Cyprus as the country of incorporation, paste in your CY registrar number.
2. 2Upload incorporation pack + KYC docs — usually accepted within 1-3 working days.
3. 3Activate account — IBAN issued (Lithuanian prefix LT…). Multi-currency accounts (EUR, USD, GBP, CHF, RON, +25 more) all live under the same business profile.
4. 4Order cards — virtual cards issued instantly; physical cards posted to your Cyprus registered office or wherever you specify.
5. 5Connect to your Cyprus accounting tool — Xero, QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Wave all integrate; or download CSV/MT940 for manual reconciliation.

4. Integration with Cyprus VAT + IR4 accounting

From a Cyprus accounting standpoint, Revolut Business is treated identically to any other EU corporate bank. Outbound payments, inbound receipts, FX trades all reconcile cleanly. Practical checklist:

• Multi-currency: maintain a separate sub-account per major currency (EUR, USD, GBP). The accountant treats each as a separate ledger; FX gains/losses are recognised on each conversion under IFRS / Cyprus GAAP.
• VAT: Revolut Business is accepted by the Cyprus Tax Department as a valid payment source for VAT submissions via TaxisNet. VAT refunds CAN route to a Revolut IBAN, but some refund routings have historically rejected non-CY IBANs — keep a parallel Cyprus bank account if VAT refunds are material.
• VIES (intra-EU B2B): zero-rated supplies are reported via the regular Cyprus VAT return regardless of which bank received the payment.
• Statement export for audit: ICPAC-registered audit firms accept Revolut's official statement export (PDF + CSV with cryptographic signature available on Scale+).

5. Practical limits — when to also hold a traditional Cyprus bank

• If a major customer / supplier requires payments to / from a Cyprus-resident SEPA IBAN, hold a Cyprus bank in parallel.
• If VAT refunds will be material (B2B exporter pattern), Cyprus IBAN avoids refund-routing friction.
• If your business model involves cash deposits, large structured-finance flows, or trade-finance instruments, a traditional bank is necessary.
• For 90%+ of typical SaaS / consulting / e-commerce Cyprus Ltds in their first 2 years, Revolut Business alone (or Revolut + Wise) covers all operational use cases.
