Step-by-step guide to buying Bitcoin with Revolut

Revolut UK customers often use Faster Payments to top up an FCA registered exchange and then buy Bitcoin. Get started in minutes.

1. Decide: Revolut Crypto or an FCA-registered exchange
   Revolut Crypto is in-app convenience; external exchanges can offer different pricing and full wallet withdrawals.
2. Create your account
   Secure your Revolut app and set up an exchange account if funding externally.
3. Complete identity verification
   Finish Revolut verification and exchange verification if applicable.
4. For external funding, get payee details
   Select Faster Payments in the exchange deposit section and copy sort code, account number, and reference.
5. Buy in Revolut or send Faster Payments
   For in-app, open Crypto and place your buy; for external funding, tap Payments then Bank transfer, add the payee, and confirm.
6. Wait for funds to arrive
   In-app buys are instant after confirmation; Faster Payments are typically instant but new payees may be delayed.
7. Purchase Bitcoin
   Buy BTC in Revolut or on the external exchange once funds arrive.
8. Secure your Bitcoin
   Note that Revolut may restrict withdrawals; use an external exchange if you need wallet withdrawals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy Bitcoin with Revolut?

Yes. Revolut lets UK customers buy and sell crypto inside the app, including Bitcoin, and Revolut lists 250+ tokens available. If you want self-custody, Revolut also supports sending crypto to an external address using the in-app crypto send flow.

Is it cheaper to buy crypto in Revolut’s Crypto tab, or fund an exchange by bank transfer?

Revolut publishes its crypto fees and plan-based pricing, and it can be convenient for small buys. For active traders, dedicated exchanges often provide tighter execution and more advanced order types, so many people use Revolut for GBP transfers and then trade on the exchange.

Can I withdraw Bitcoin from Revolut to my own wallet, and where do I tap to do it?

Yes, for supported assets and regions. Revolut’s help flow uses the Crypto section and a Send action, then you select the coin, add or select a wallet address, enter the amount, review, and confirm.

What is Revolut X, and how does it change crypto fees compared with the main Revolut app?

Revolut X is Revolut’s crypto exchange style product, and Revolut publishes a separate fee schedule for it. If you are comparing costs, check Revolut X fees against the in-app crypto pricing, because they are not always the same.

Can I top up Revolut by Faster Payments, then use that balance to fund a crypto exchange?

Yes, many users fund Revolut by UK transfers and then move GBP to an exchange. Faster Payments has a scheme-level transaction limit and banks set their own caps, so always check your sending and receiving limits on both sides before moving a large amount.

Why does Revolut ask for source of funds checks before large crypto activity?

Revolut is a regulated firm and applies AML checks, especially when activity spikes or patterns change. If you hit a verification prompt, provide clean documentation such as payslips, sale contracts, or bank statements, because delays are often compliance related rather than a crypto feature issue.
