If you have opened Revolut’s investing tab and typed “CSPX”, “VWCE”, “VUAA” or “SPYL” into the search box, you already know the frustration: sometimes the ticker appears, sometimes it doesn’t, and the friend who told you it worked lives in a different country on a different plan. So let me give you the honest answer before anything else. Revolut does offer a UCITS ETF selection inside its investing product, it has been expanding that selection steadily, but the menu is still limited and it varies by plan tier and by country. There is no single, universal “Revolut ETF list” that is true for everyone.
That matters because the ticker you can buy is set by what Revolut has listed for your account, not by what an article says. I’ve used app-based investing platforms for years, and the pattern is always the same: the in-app search is the only source of truth. This piece covers which names people ask about, how to read availability, what it actually costs, how your shares are held, and when a serious ETF investor should stop using Revolut as their main broker.
The short version: there is no fixed Revolut ETF list
Revolut’s investing product started as US-stock trading and later added European-listed UCITS ETFs for EU customers. The catalogue has grown, but it is curated. Revolut decides which funds to list, and that decision differs across the markets it serves. A ticker a Lithuanian user sees may not appear for a French user, and a free Standard plan can look different from a Premium or Metal one. The list also changes over time.

So treat any specific list you read online, including this one, as indicative only. The reliable move is to open the app, go to the investing/stocks section, and search the ticker or fund name directly. If it comes up as tradeable, it is available to you. If it doesn’t, no workaround changes that.
The tickers people actually search for
Almost all the search traffic clusters around a handful of core, plain-vanilla UCITS ETFs. These are not exotic products, they are the boring building blocks most European index investors want, which is exactly why people expect a mainstream app to carry them.
Core S&P 500 UCITS ETFs
This is the biggest group. CSPX (an accumulating iShares S&P 500) and VUAA (an accumulating Vanguard S&P 500) are the two most-requested names, alongside distributing versions like VUSA and the Invesco S&P 500 line. SPYL, the low-cost SPDR S&P 500 UCITS ETF, has become a favourite because of its very low ongoing charge. These funds all track the same index, so the practical difference is cost, distribution policy and fund domicile rather than what’s inside. If you want the specifics before you buy, I’ve compared these directly in CSPX vs VUAA, and there’s a dedicated walkthrough for how to buy SPYL on Revolut if that’s the one you’re after.
Global all-world UCITS ETFs
VWCE, Vanguard’s accumulating FTSE All-World, is the single most searched all-in-one fund in Europe, and people naturally check whether Revolut carries it. Its distributing sibling VWRL and rival all-world funds from other issuers fall in the same bucket. A one-fund global portfolio is a perfectly sensible core, so the demand makes sense.
The important caveat: I am not going to tell you “yes, VWCE is definitely on Revolut for you”, because I can’t know your plan and country, and the catalogue moves. What I can tell you is that core S&P 500 and all-world UCITS ETFs are exactly the category Revolut has been prioritising, so your odds are best with these mainstream names and worst with niche sector, thematic or leveraged products. Search the fund, read the result, decide from there.
What it costs to buy ETFs on Revolut
Pricing is the part people underestimate. Broadly, each plan tier comes with a monthly allowance of commission-free trades; once you use those up, you pay a per-order commission. On top of that there is typically a small percentage platform or dealing fee, and currency conversion costs can appear because most of these ETFs settle in a currency that may not match your balance.
None of these numbers are worth quoting as gospel, because Revolut changes them and they differ by plan and region. Treat the figures below as an illustrative 2026-vintage shape of the pricing, not a quote, and confirm the current numbers on Revolut’s official website and in-app fee summary for your market before you trade.
| Feature | Revolut investing | A full UCITS ETF broker |
|---|---|---|
| ETF selection | Limited, curated menu; varies by plan and country | Broad; thousands of European-listed ETFs |
| Commission model | Monthly free-trade allowance, then per-order fee | Flat or low per-order fee; some offer free savings plans |
| Extra platform fee | Small percentage dealing/platform fee typically applies | Usually none beyond the commission |
| Fractional shares | Yes, invest by amount | Varies; several now support fractional |
| Order types | Basic (market, limited limit orders) | Full range, exchange choice, order routing |
| Automated savings plans | Limited/patchy for ETFs | Often free, fully automated recurring buys |
The upshot: if you buy small amounts frequently, the per-trade fees and the percentage dealing fee eat into returns more than they would on a broker with free or flat-fee ETF savings plans. If you place occasional larger buys within your free-trade allowance, Revolut is genuinely convenient. Run your own case through our EU broker fee comparator before assuming it’s cheap.
Fractional investing and FX
One real strength is fractional investing. Put in a round figure like €100 and Revolut buys the corresponding slice of the ETF, which suits regular contributions. Watch the currency angle, though. Many of these UCITS ETFs are priced in USD or GBP on their listing exchange, so if your balance is in euros a conversion may occur, and that spread is a cost even when the commission looks like zero.
How your ETFs are held
When you buy an ETF on Revolut, you generally don’t get direct registered ownership in your own name. The shares are held for you through a nominee or custody arrangement, which is the standard model across app brokers and most traditional ones too. In practice it means a custodian holds the securities on your behalf while you keep the beneficial ownership.
This is normal and workable, but read the terms so you understand who the custodian is, how your assets are segregated from Revolut’s own, and what investor-protection scheme applies to your account. Those details matter far more than most people realise, especially if you ever want to transfer holdings out.

The honest limitations
Revolut is a good on-ramp, not a full-featured broker. The menu is small, so the exact fund you want may not be listed. Order types are basic, which is fine for buy-and-hold but restrictive if you care about limit orders or choosing an exchange. Automated ETF savings plans, the feature that makes long-term investing effortless elsewhere, have been patchy. And in-specie transfers to another broker aren’t always straightforward, which can force you to sell if you leave. For a first purchase or a small satellite position, none of this is disqualifying. For a six-figure portfolio you’ll hold for decades, these limits start to bite.
When to outgrow Revolut and move to a full broker
My rule of thumb: use Revolut while your portfolio is small and simple, and graduate once the fund you want isn’t on the menu, once recurring-buy fees start to add up, or once you want automated savings plans, in-specie transfers and a wider fund range. That’s usually somewhere in the low-to-mid five figures, though it depends more on behaviour than balance.
When you’re ready, compare providers properly rather than jumping to the next app you see advertised. Our European ETF broker hub lays out the main options by country and use case, and if you’re stuck between two specific funds regardless of platform, the UCITS ETF comparison tool shows cost, size and structure side by side. Moving broker is a one-afternoon job, and it usually pays for itself within a year in lower fees.
What I’d do
If you’re just starting and Revolut already sits on your phone, open the investing tab, search your target ETF, and if a core S&P 500 or all-world UCITS fund like the ones above is listed for your account, it’s a perfectly reasonable place to make your first buys. Keep contributions a bit larger and less frequent to stay inside the free-trade allowance and minimise the percentage fee. But don’t assume it’s your forever home. The moment the fund you want is missing, or you want a proper automated savings plan, plan your move to a full broker. Revolut is a fine door into ETF investing. It’s rarely the room you want to stay in.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Can I buy CSPX on Revolut?
A: CSPX, the accumulating iShares S&P 500 UCITS ETF, is one of the most-requested funds, and core S&P 500 ETFs are the category Revolut has prioritised. But availability depends on your plan tier and country and the catalogue changes, so search “CSPX” in the app’s investing tab to confirm it’s tradeable for your account before relying on it.
Q: Is VWCE available on Revolut?
A: VWCE, Vanguard’s accumulating FTSE All-World, is the most searched all-world fund in Europe, and all-world UCITS ETFs are exactly what Revolut has been adding. I can’t guarantee it’s listed for you because the menu varies by market and plan. Type “VWCE” into the in-app search; if it appears as tradeable, you can buy it.
Q: What’s the difference between VUAA and SPYL on Revolut?
A: Both track the S&P 500, so their holdings are effectively identical. VUAA is Vanguard’s accumulating version, while SPYL is SPDR’s low-cost S&P 500 UCITS ETF known for a very low ongoing charge. The practical decision comes down to cost and fund domicile rather than performance, since they follow the same index.
Q: How much does Revolut charge to buy ETFs?
A: Each plan includes a monthly allowance of commission-free trades, after which you pay a per-order commission, and a small percentage platform or dealing fee typically applies on top. Currency conversion can add cost if the ETF settles in a different currency to your balance. Check the current figures for your market on Revolut’s official fee page.
Q: Do I actually own the ETF shares on Revolut?
A: You hold beneficial ownership, but the shares are held for you through a nominee or custody arrangement rather than registered directly in your name. This is the standard model for app brokers. Read the terms to understand who the custodian is, how assets are segregated, and which investor-protection scheme covers your account.
Q: Can I move my ETFs from Revolut to another broker?
A: In-specie transfers out are not always straightforward on app-based platforms, and in some cases you may need to sell your holdings and rebuy at the new broker, which can trigger tax. Before you commit large sums, check Revolut’s current transfer terms so you know your exit options ahead of time.
