Millions of Revolut users across the UK and European Economic Area can now purchase cryptocurrencies with the effortless simplicity of ordering coffee through their smartphones, thanks to MoonPay’s integration of Revolut Pay into its purchasing infrastructure. The partnership eliminates the traditional friction that has long plagued crypto purchases—those maddening card declines and repetitive KYC verifications that could make buying Bitcoin feel like applying for a mortgage.
Users can now execute one-click cryptocurrency purchases directly through Revolut Pay, bypassing the cumbersome process of switching between accounts or maneuvering multiple authentication steps. The integration authorizes transactions via passcode or biometric ID through the Revolut app, creating a seamless bridge between traditional banking and digital assets. Smart checkout features enable repeat purchases with remarkable efficiency, while advanced fraud monitoring provides security without sacrificing convenience.
One-click crypto purchases through biometric authentication eliminate traditional banking friction while maintaining robust security protocols.
Perhaps most notably, this collaboration grants Revolut users access to MoonPay’s extensive network of over 500 partner applications and wallets, including Zengo, Solflare, Uniswap, OpenSea, Bybit, and Sweat Wallet. Once users complete KYC verification on MoonPay—a single process that applies across all partner platforms—they gain streamlined access to decentralized applications, digital wallets, and NFT marketplaces without enduring repeated verification procedures.
The technical architecture operates as a direct-from-account online payment system, effectively sidestepping traditional card networks and their associated complications. This approach reduces abandoned checkouts considerably, addressing a persistent pain point for crypto platforms where payment friction often derailed transactions at the final moment. The integration fundamentally aims to bridge traditional finance with the crypto economy, making digital asset purchases as familiar as conventional banking transactions.
For MoonPay’s partners, the integration expands their total addressable market by simplifying checkout processes that previously deterred potential users. The broader range of cryptocurrencies available through MoonPay’s platform, combined with Revolut’s trusted payment infrastructure, creates a compelling value proposition for both casual investors and seasoned crypto enthusiasts. The enhanced security measures significantly boost investor trust in the platform, addressing concerns that have historically limited mainstream adoption.
This development represents more than mere convenience; it signals the continued convergence of traditional banking and digital finance ecosystems. Revolut’s expansion of crypto services complements its existing trading tools and wallets, while MoonPay gains access to millions of European users who can now participate in the crypto economy with unprecedented ease. The strategic partnership benefits from MoonPay’s established global presence, serving nearly 30 million customers worldwide with full licensing in the US and regulatory compliance across the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia.
