Revolut has entered into a new partnership with Lightspark to integrate advanced Bitcoin payment infrastructure across the UK and select countries in the European Economic Area. The collaboration enables Revolut customers to access faster and more cost-efficient Bitcoin transactions using the Lightning Network and Universal Money Address. This integration is designed to improve payment speed and reduce network fees, offering a seamless experience for users transacting with Bitcoin as part of their daily financial activity.
Revolut aims to provide its customers with more control over their finances, and the partnership with Lightspark supports that mission through modern payment infrastructure. According to Emil Urmanshin, Revolut’s General Manager for Crypto, “Integrating with Lightspark is a natural step forward. We’re always looking for ways to offer faster and more affordable financial solutions — and their approach to global transactions enables us to do exactly that.” Lightspark CEO David Marcus noted that Revolut’s adoption of their platform aligns with a broader trend toward real-time, low-cost financial transactions. By joining the open Money Grid, Revolut is taking steps to move beyond traditional banking systems, incorporating solutions that are designed for faster, borderless financial interactions.
