Revolut Partners with Lightspark for Lightning
Revolut is all about speed, efficiency, and giving customers more control over their money. Today, Lightspark has announced a new partnership with Revolut, bringing innovative payments infrastructure using the Bitcoin network to Revolut in the UK and select EEA countries.
This move means no more waiting, and no more high network fees. These are seamless transactions powered by the most advanced open technology available. Revolut is connecting to the open Money Grid and joining many other fintechs and wallets that offer new and exciting payments solutions, such as Lightning transactions or Universal Money Address (UMA).
With Lightspark, Revolut is integrating the best-in-class infrastructure to make Bitcoin more usable in everyday life.
Game-Changing for Crypto & Payments
“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”. Emil Urmanshin, GM Crypto, Revolut
“Revolut is at the forefront of modern finance, and we’re thrilled to help power this integration. The future of money is real-time, low-cost, and borderless—exactly what Lightspark solves for. For too long, traditional banks have relied on outdated, slow, and expensive payment systems — akin to dial-up when the rest of the world uses 5G. In a world with a new, open Money Grid that enables instant, seamless transactions, we’re excited to see a global fintech such as Revolut lead the way.” David Marcus, CEO & Co-founder, Lightspark.
