Local context
Why UK cashouts get stuck, and a way around it
Many UK banks cap or block card payments and transfers to crypto exchanges, and a large incoming sum linked to crypto can lead a bank to ask where it came from. That is why cashing out through an exchange and then your high street bank often takes longer than people expect.
Here there is no exchange account in the chain. You send coins from your own wallet to the address on your order page, and we pay a UK account you already use: Monzo over Faster Payments, Revolut by Revtag, email or phone, or PayPal and Wise by email.
Two honest limits. Direct payouts to Barclays, Lloyds, NatWest or another UK bank are planned but not live, so for now you move money on from Monzo, Revolut or PayPal yourself. And Wise can turn away money it links to crypto, so read its rules before you choose it.
For tax, HMRC treats selling crypto as a disposal for Capital Gains Tax. In 2025 to 2026 the first £3,000 of gains is tax-free, and the rate above that is 18% or 24% depending on your income. UK crypto platforms also began collecting customer details for HMRC reporting on 1 January 2026. This is general information, so check the rules for your situation.
Direct Faster Payments payouts to any UK bank are planned. Today Monzo is paid over Faster Payments, and money from PayPal, Revolut or Wise can be moved on to Barclays, Lloyds or any other UK account.

Watch out
Skip these in the UK
Save yourself a failed payout. These are popular elsewhere but usually do not work for people in the UK.
Paying an exchange from your bank first
Card payments and transfers to exchanges are limited or refused at many UK banks. Cashing out from your own wallet skips that step.
SEPA into a pound account
SEPA pays euros. Use it only if you hold a euro account; otherwise your bank converts at its own rate.
Cash App, Venmo and Chime
All three need a US account and do not pay out to UK users.

Local tips
Tips for cashing out in the UK
- 1
Use the exact Monzo email or phone
It has to match your Monzo profile, or the payment cannot find your account.
- 2
Copy your Revtag
It starts with @. Take it from your Revolut profile rather than typing it from memory.
- 3
Choose Amazon.co.uk at checkout
A code only redeems on the store it was issued for.
- 4
Work out gains in pounds
HMRC wants sterling figures, so note the pound value on the day of each cashout.
- 5
Mind your quote's 20 minutes
Your rate is held for 20 minutes. Have the coins ready in your wallet before you create the order.
