Crypto payments platform MoonPay has announced that it now supports Revolut Pay, a payment method from the major neobank Revolut.
Per the press release shared with Cryptonews, MoonPay now supports 1-click cryptocurrency purchases using Revolut Pay in the UK and EEA.
The team says that this move enables “a frictionless way” to move money from the neobank straight into crypto.
