MetaMask to Act as Official Launch Partner for All-New ‘Revolut Ramp’

TL;DR:

• ‘Revolut Ramp’ will facilitate the purchase of multiple cryptocurrency assets directly into users’ MetaMask wallets.
• Revolut uses an integrated KYC process allowing completely friction-free purchase for Revolut users and which ‘non-Revolut customers can complete in just a few minutes’.
• Revolut’s 40 million worldwide users, alongside MetaMask’s sizeable userbase, add gravitas to the announcement.

"By teaming up with Revolut, we're making crypto more approachable and less complicated. This partnership is really about giving our users what they want… more control over their crypto” said Lorenzo Santos, Senior Product Manager at MetaMask-developer, Consensys.

According to a release shared with BSCN ahead of time, neobanking giant, Revolut, will leverage its fresh crypto-payments platform, Revolut Ramp, to facilitate direct purchase of 20+ tokens into MetaMask users’ self-custody wallets.

MetaMask currently supports 40+ payment methods in some 177 countries and will act as the official launch partner to ‘Revolut Ramp’.

To begin with, the service will be offered to users in the UK and European Economic Area (EAA), who will have access to more than 20 different tokens, including ETH, USDC, USDT, SHIB, and 1INCH. 

Revolut currently boasts some 40 million users worldwide and, combined with MetaMask’s unrivaled MAU, the partnership could serve to onboard countless new users to the blockchain industry.

“We are excited to announce our new crypto product Revolut Ramp, a leading on-ramp solution for the web3 ecosystem… We are delighted to partner with a leader in the web3 space” said Mazen Eljundi, Global Business Head of Crypto at Revolut.

Revolut Ramp and Why it Matters…

Revolut Ramp is the UK-based neobanking giant’s all-new fiat/cryptocurrency on-ramp that will join MetaMask’s existing host of on-ramp solutions.

The solution allows existing Revolut customers to use their fiat currency balances, as well as Mastercard or Visa cards, to buy digital assets in a matter of seconds.

What’s more, Revolut users will be able to entirely bypass further verification checks as Revolut Ramp can rely on existing verification from the Revolut application itself. However, the solution also features an integrated Know Your Customer (KYC) process which non-Revolut users can complete in just a few minutes.
