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. „With Lightspark, Revolut is integrating the best-in-class infrastructure to make Bitcoin more usable in everyday life.” – according to the press release.
„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).” – the company said.
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.” – said 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 For too long, traditional banks have relied on outdated, slow, and expensive payment systems — akin to dial-up when the rest of the world uses 5G.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.” said David Marcus, CEO & Co-founder, Lightspark.

The internet has made everything more open, more accessible, and more immediate… But our financial system hasn’t kept pace – endless inefficiencies and closed systems remain. Lightspark exists to change that. We’re challenging the status quo, updating the current system, and empowering our partners to build better solutions. We make it easy for businesses to offer payments that are accessible, affordable, and better suited for today’s world.
Lightspark provides the tools businesses need to modernize payments, integrate with existing systems, and unlock new possibilities. Together, we’re building the most advanced financial infrastructure—open, instant, and global—inspiring a future where anyone, anywhere can access the full potential of digital money.
„Three years ago, we started Lightspark with a simple conviction: The way money moves should match the speed, openness, and intelligence of the Internet itself. Since then, the world has responded to a new kind of value — digital, borderless, and instant. But the infrastructure to move that value remains outdated, closed, cumbersome, and expensive. Everything we do at Lightspark aims to change that.” – stated Geoff Teehan, Chief Design Officer Lightspark.
