Reading Time: 2 minutes
  • MoonPay has partnered with Revolut to integrate its crypto payments infrastructure into the banking app
  • The agreement has enabled Revolut customers to purchase crypto directly using MoonPay’s on-ramp services
  • The partnership has marked a step forward in bringing seamless digital asset access to mainstream financial users

Crypto payments firm MoonPay has entered a strategic partnership with fintech giant Revolut, in a move that promises to simplify how millions interact with digital currencies. The deal will enable Revolut users to purchase cryptocurrencies directly through MoonPay’s infrastructure, streamlining the customer experience and broadening access to Web3 assets. Both companies have described the collaboration as a major advancement in bringing crypto into the everyday financial ecosystem as Revolut tries to broaden its crypto exposure.

A Bridge Between Banking and Web3

The Moonpay-Revolut partnership was revealed yesterday and allows Revolut customers in the UK and European Economic Area to access MoonPay’s crypto on-ramp within the Revolut app, using familiar payment methods like cards and bank transfers. This means users can purchase crypto assets more intuitively, without needing to exit the Revolut ecosystem or rely on external exchanges. It also signals a growing trend of mainstream financial apps embracing Web3 infrastructure, positioning MoonPay as a critical backend provider for regulated fintechs:

MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright called the deal “a significant milestone,” stating: *“We’re proud to power Revolut’s crypto experience and help remove the friction that still surrounds access to digital assets.” The integration is expected to enhance compliance, user verification, and transaction reliability, key concerns for both regulators and financial institutions.

Crypto for the Moo-ses

Revolut, which serves more than 40 million users globally, has steadily increased its crypto offerings over the past few years, and with this new collaboration, users benefit from MoonPay’s robust Web3 capabilities, including access to a wider variety of tokens and better infrastructure for fiat-to-crypto conversion. Although Revolut has supported crypto since 2017, the MoonPay integration marks a shift from internal handling toward leveraging an established crypto-native provider.

MoonPay’s expansion through Revolut is also part of its broader strategy to embed its services within mainstream financial platforms. This will be made easier by virtue of the company achieving a New York BitLicense, which it did on the same day as announcing the MoonPay deal.
