Buy Bitcoin with Revolut (UK) — Simple Guide for customers

Buy Bitcoin with Revolut in UK for your Chilton Labs order

Quick beginner-friendly guide: buy BTC on Revolut first, then place your order and send payment to the address shown.

What you'll need

  • A verified Revolut account with a funding method (card or bank transfer).
  • Enough Bitcoin purchased in advance to cover your order total.
  • We recommend buying a little extra (£2–£5 more) to cover Revolut’s crypto sending fees and Bitcoin network fees.

Step 2 — Buy Bitcoin on Revolut

  1. Open Revolut and go to Crypto → Buy.
  2. Search for Bitcoin (BTC) and enter the amount you need for your upcoming order.
  3. Important: purchase slightly more (a few £ extra) than the order total in BTC to cover Revolut’s send fees and Bitcoin network fees.
  4. Choose your funding source (card or bank) and confirm the purchase. Review the fee summary before confirming.

Step 3 — Place your order on our website

When you complete checkout and choose Bitcoin as the payment method, you will be shown:

  • Amount in BTC
  • Destination Bitcoin address (text) shown under the QR code
  • A time limit to complete payment — Try and send your BTC before this expires but don't worry if you can't. Just give us a heads-up via email.
Tip: Keep the payment page open on your phone or desktop while you use Revolut.

Step 4 — Send the exact amount & address from Revolut

Important: copy the exact BTC amount and the full destination address from our website’s payment page. Match them exactly in Revolut.

  1. On the payment page copy the BTC amount (for example: 0.00123456 BTC) and the Bitcoin address (a long string starting with bc1).
  2. Open Revolut, go to Crypto and select Bitcoin (BTC) in your balance.
  3. Tap Send. When prompted for the destination address, paste the BTC address you copied. Double-check it matches exactly (first 6 and last 6 characters).
  4. Enter the exact BTC amount shown on our website. Do not round — use the same decimal value.
    If Revolut asks for GBP amount, convert using the BTC price shown, but copying the BTC amount is safest.
  5. If Revolut asks who the Bitcoin address belongs to, use the following details:
    • Wallet: Electrum
    • First Name: Jeri
    • Last Name: Smith
  6. Confirm network/fees if shown, complete any 2FA or biometric confirmation, and send.
  7. After sending, wait for the payment page to confirm receipt. It may take anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes depending on network speed.

Quick troubleshooting

  • If the payment page still shows unpaid after you sent the transaction: check the transaction ID (TXID) in Revolut and confirm the address/amount matched.
  • If the page expired, create a new order and repeat the send process.
  • Always confirm the first 6 and last 6 characters of the address before sending.

Security & important notes

  • Crypto transactions are irreversible — only send to the address shown after your order.
  • Fees & speeds: Bitcoin network fees can vary; if fees are low it may take longer for confirmations.
