Gemini Is Live in the UK!

Today, we are expanding our full services into the United Kingdom (UK). Users in the UK can now use our simple, reliable, and secure products, including our Mobile App, to buy, sell, and store crypto.

We now also support the pound sterling (GBP) to provide a more local experience for our UK users. You can purchase crypto with GBP using a debit card or make a GBP deposit from your bank via Faster Payments, CHAPS, or SWIFT wire.

Our UK launch follows the recent approval of our Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which reflects our ethos of working proactively with regulators and asking for permission, rather than forgiveness. As a licensed and compliant platform, we abide by the high regulatory standards established to safeguard your money, securely store your crypto, protect your privacy, and keep bad actors off our platform. Ultimately, this fosters a better and safer experience for you and the larger crypto ecosystem as a whole.

The UK has been a significant, global financial hub for centuries. It is a pioneer in both financial innovation and regulation. We’re proud to help usher the crypto revolution into this historic market and become a part of its rich tradition.
