What happens to my stocks when an online banking app goes bankrupt?


Hello. My girlfriend that is interested in stocks made the following question

What happens to my stocks if Revolut goes bankrupt?

Revolut (maybe others like Nubank/N26 as well) gives you the power to buy stocks directly in your iOS/Android app. I have a limited knowledge on how everything happens under the scene and would like to be able to answer this question.

I understand that they use a broker (info here https://www.revolut.com/en-HR/help/wealth/stocks/introduction-to-stock-trading/what-is-a-stock-broker) to be able to sell and buy orders to it's clients.

So, in summary: what happens to your stock when any online banking goes bankrupt?
