Changelly recently partnered with Revolut to make crypto purchasing even easier and more affordable. Our users can now buy over 30 cryptocurrencies, including BTC, ETH and stablecoins, with over 20 fiat currencies. Payment options include Revolut Pay and debit/credit cards.
Here is a comprehensive and easy-to-follow guide to help you buy cryptocurrency on Changelly with Revolut.
Step 1. Start the transaction
Go to the Buy tab on the Changelly website or app. Enter the amount of fiat currency you want to spend and select the cryptocurrency you want to buy.
Click the Buy button to continue.
Choose your preferred payment method. Then select Revolut from the list of available payment offers.
Step 2. Enter your Crypto Wallet address
Now you need to enter the address of your cryptocurrency wallet. Double check that it is correct and supports the cryptocurrency you are purchasing. This includes not only ensuring the correct ticker (BTC, ETH, etc.), but also confirming network compatibility (e.g. Ethereum, Tron, Avalanche).
Please check your order summary before confirming. Pay attention to the fiat amount, crypto amount and transaction costs. Check the box to agree to Changelly’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and then press the Buy button.
It’s important to double check these details, because blockchain transactions are irreversible. A few extra minutes to ensure the accuracy of your transaction details can save you the trouble of trying to recover funds lost due to an error.
Step 3. Authorize with Revolut
You will now be redirected to Revolut to authorize the payment. Log in to your Revolut account in the newly opened window. You can do this by scanning the QR code with your Revolut app or by entering your email address/mobile number.
If you don’t have a Revolut account, you can create one at this stage. However, this guide does not cover the account creation process.
Enter your Revolut account password to continue.
Revolut requires two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra security. You can complete this step via the Revolut app or by entering a 6-digit code sent to your phone via SMS.
Step 4. Pay for your order
After you have successfully logged in, Revolut will display the order summary again. Please check all details carefully to ensure they match what you confirmed on Changelly.
Then click ‘Pay with’ to select your payment option within Revolut. Once everything is set up, click the Pay button to complete the payment process.
Step 5. Transaction completed
Congratulations, your transaction is complete! Once your payment has been processed, all you have to do is wait for your cryptocurrency to arrive in your wallet. This usually takes about 10 minutes, but the exact time may vary depending on the congestion of the blockchain network.
If you experience any issues or delays, please contact the Revolut support team by submitting a ticket via their helpdesk.
