Revolut, an online banking platform with a strong focus on cryptocurrency, has teamed up with the hardware wallet company Ledger to boost crypto transactions across several European Economic Area (EEA) nations.
Announced on August 14, this collaboration will integrate Revolut’s purchasing service, Revolut Ramp, into Ledger’s Ledger Live wallet app, which will now support transactions in 27 EEA countries including Bulgaria, Ireland, and Switzerland.
The partnership aims to simplify the process of buying cryptocurrencies for Ledger users.
Those already verified with Revolut will be able to purchase crypto quickly without additional checks. New users can also complete a streamlined KYC process and make payments with a Visa or Mastercard.
This move reinforces Revolut’s position as a key player in the cryptocurrency space, reflecting its ongoing commitment to providing seamless access to digital assets.
The integration of Revolut Ramp, launched in March 2024, allows users to directly deposit cryptocurrencies into wallets like Ledger and MetaMask, using their fiat balances or credit cards.
