Why buy crypto
with Revolut on Switchere
Multi-currency, no FX markup at the till
A Revolut account holds 30+ currencies side by side. Pay a EUR-priced order from your EUR balance, a USD order from USD, and skip the foreign-exchange surcharge that a single-currency card would add at conversion.
In-app 3D Secure approval
No SMS codes to wait for, no banking app to switch into. Revolut's 3D Secure check arrives as a push notification you tap to approve. Faster than the standard challenge flow, and harder to phish.
Real-time spend visibility
Every charge triggers an instant push from Revolut showing the merchant, amount, and currency. You see the order land on your card the moment it clears, not at end-of-day reconciliation.
Live rates, transparent fees
The exchange rate, the service fee, and the final crypto amount are shown on the confirmation screen before you submit the card. No hidden spreads, no surprise deductions on the platform side.
Buy crypto with Revolut
from your phone
The Switchere mobile app and the Revolut app live on the same device, which makes the 3D Secure push the cleanest part of the flow. Place the order in Switchere, tap to approve in Revolut, and watch the order status update without switching tabs.
Same converter, same coin list, same loyalty discounts as the web version - finished by a single tap on the Revolut push.
Live rates, fee breakdown, and order status are always one tap away.
Frequently asked questions
-
Can I buy crypto with Revolut on Switchere?
Yes. Revolut-issued VISA and Mastercard cards are accepted as a payment method for crypto purchases. The card needs to be active, supported in your region, and able to authenticate via 3D Secure - which Revolut handles natively in its app. -
Which Revolut currency balance gets charged?
Revolut picks the funding balance based on the rules you set in the app. If you have a balance in the order's currency, that is used directly with no conversion. If not, Revolut converts from a different balance at its interbank rate, with any markup shown in the app before you approve. -
How does 3D Secure work with Revolut?
Instead of an SMS one-time code, Revolut delivers the 3D Secure challenge as a push notification to the Revolut app on your phone. You see the merchant, the amount, and the currency, and tap to approve. The flow is faster than the SMS path and resistant to SIM-swap attacks. -
How long does it take to receive my crypto?
The card authorization is processed in seconds. After that, the platform broadcasts the crypto transfer to the network - delivery to your wallet depends on the destination chain. Bitcoin typically takes 10-30 minutes during normal load, while networks like Tron or Polygon settle in under a minute. -
What does it cost?
The platform service fee plus the live exchange rate, both shown before you submit the card. Loyalty members earn up to 45% off the service fee on qualifying orders. Revolut itself does not charge for outgoing card payments inside its limits, though weekend or above-limit FX conversions may add a small fee on the Revolut side - that is shown in the app before you approve. -
Are there limits on Revolut crypto purchases?
Two ceilings apply: the platform's per-order limit at your verification tier, and Revolut's own daily and per-transaction caps on the card you are using. The lower of the two governs any single order.
