How to Buy Crypto (UK)

Step-by-Step Guide to Buying Cryptocurrency with LondonLink: Brokerage and Custodial procedures.

Buying cryptocurrency with LondonLink is quick and easy, whether via our Custodial service or our Brokerage service.

Whichever service you use, to buy crypto from Londonlink, you will first need to:
  1. Register at client.londonlink.io/register
  2. Verify at client.londonlink.io/verification
For more information on how to use each service to buy cryptocurrency, please see below.

Custodial Service

Before you can buy cryptocurrency with us, you will need to transfer some fiat (GBP or EUR) into your LondonLink User Account. You will need to log in via our website to find out more about information about this. Once we receive your funds, this will be reflected in the balance that is available to you to use to buy cryptocurrency.

You can then select which and how much cryptocurrency you wish to buy. Once the trade is executed, the purchased cryptocurrency will appear in your User Account. 

Our website offers a simple, friendly interface but if you need any clarification on the purchasing process, please reach out to us via the live chat on our website, via email at hello@londonlink.io or by submitting a contact form via https://londonlink.io/contact

Brokerage Service

You can ask our brokers anything, from “I’d like £1,000 of bitcoin” to “How much bitcoin can I get for €1,000?” or even “I’d like 0.1 bitcoin for GBP.”

We will provide an indicative quote, which is finalised at the time of the exchange. If you are happy with the indicative quote and wish to proceed, we'll send our bank details for your transfer.

Your broker will provide a quote showing:

  • Amount of crypto you will receive
  • The current rate per coin
  • Your trade total value in GBP or EUR

For example: 

“Please see your indicative quote below:

Amount: 0.1 BTC 

Rate: 10,000.00 GBP/BTC

Total: 1,000 GBP

Would you like to lock this quote in and proceed?”

All exchange rates are inclusive of spreads and fees. For specific information on your rates please see your dashboard here: client.londonlink.io/rates.

To confirm any trade under £1000, we typically send a final quote and lock when you accept the quote. For trades over £1000, we typically send an indicative quote and once we receive payment we then send the final quote.

Once locked, we'll send our bank details for your transfer. Check the details, especially the provided reference. Errors in the reference can cause significant delays. Provide your crypto wallet address and we will send your crypto as soon as payment is received.
