Combine anything with crypto, and you will have my attention. So naturally, when Revolut announced their crypto trading service has finally landed in Singapore, I dusted my good old Revolut app out of the unused app section, and decided to buy a little bit of crypto via the app to see how easy it was.
I haven’t used Revolut in forever, but looking at the app, it does seem to have evolved a lot. Also, for my upcoming trip (finally!), I’ve decided to use Revolut for my overseas expenses, so I had recently requested for a new card.
Check it out!
What is Revolut?
If you’re new to Revolut, it’s a fintech company based out of the UK. They have a nifty tagline: One app, all things money.
From daily spending, travel perks, bill splitting, savings and investments, you can do it all. As I said, they have evolved a lot since I last checked in. When I first heard of Revolut, their proposition was purely in currency exchange.
Now, you can even buy gold, silver and trade crypto with Revolut!
Buying Bitcoin with Revolut
The app overall seems really intuitive and easy to navigate. Buying bitcoin, as seen from my video below, was extremely easy. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a way for us to send our crypto to other crypto wallets for now.
The silver lining is that we can do limit buys and sells, and not just market trades.
The entire process of making a Bitcoin trade via Revolut took no longer than 20 seconds.
Other cryptocurrencies you can buy and store on Revolut include Polkadot, Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, Dogecoin, Solana, Litecoin, Shiba Inu, Polygon and more.
This is it for my mini review of Revolut for crypto. Stay tuned as I review usage of Revolut on my next trip abroad!
