Gemini UK Customers Can Now Use Plaid to Connect Their Bank Accounts and Buy Crypto

Our users in the UK can now use Plaid to link their bank account and transfer British Pounds (GBP) into their Gemini account to seamlessly purchase crypto, without leaving our app.

With our Plaid integration, we continue to build bridges between traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem, enabling users to make secure deposits into their Gemini accounts without manually entering their bank details, and with no extra fees. In the U.S., our customers can already use Plaid to verify their identity, link their bank, and fund their accounts.

Plaid is an open banking data network and payments platform that is used by over 6,000 apps and connects to 12,000 financial institutions across the world. Offering the ability to fund accounts through Plaid also simplifies the onboarding experience for our users, further reducing barriers to entry into the crypto ecosystem.

Use Plaid to fund your Gemini account and buy crypto in minutes.

To get started with Plaid, open your Gemini app and go to Account > Manage Payment Methods > Add another method > Bank account instantly via Plaid. Then continue through the flow on the screen to enter your bank login credentials via Plaid.

If you have already connected your bank account to Gemini using Plaid, you may first need to remove that bank account from your Gemini account and then start the linking process again.

Gemini users in the UK can also buy crypto instantly with a debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, and can fund their Gemini accounts using bank transfers and crypto transfers.

We will continue to work together to create faster, simpler ways to buy crypto for Gemini users globally, including launching Plaid functionality as we expand our presence in countries across Europe.

Onward and Upward!
