it is legal for UK businesses to accept crypto — HMRC taxes it as income at receipt value with CGT on later disposal, and the FCA regulates custodial crypto firms and financial promotions. A non-custodial payment page holds nothing on your behalf, but keep records and check current HMRC guidance.
London remains Europe's largest fintech hub and UK crypto ownership keeps climbing — agencies, consultants and e-commerce brands selling internationally use stablecoins to sidestep card cross-border fees and weekend settlement gaps.
Faster Payments is excellent but GBP-and-domestic only; international card acquiring costs 1.5-3% plus FX spread. A crypt.pe invoice quotes in GBP, settles in USDT/USDC or any of 19 supported coins straight to your wallet, at 0% platform fee.

about crypt.pe
non-custodial by design
Payments settle wallet-to-wallet on-chain, straight from the payer to your own wallet. crypt.pe never holds, freezes or forwards funds — there is no platform balance and no withdrawal step, and every payment gets a verifiable on-chain receipt.
0% transaction fees
Plans are flat subscriptions with a free tier — compare that with the 1–2% charged by custodial processors. One page accepts Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum, Solana and 19 coins across 13 networks, with simple pricing and no payout schedule.
tools merchants actually use
Exact-amount invoices with live tracking, product links, printable QR standees, HMAC-signed webhooks, CSV exports and a Stripe-style API — see the merchant guides or create your free page in about a minute.
how a payment works
You add wallet addresses you already own, share your crypt.pe link or QR code, and the customer pays from their own wallet. crypt.pe locks the amount at invoice time, watches the chain, matches the transaction and issues a receipt both sides can verify on a block explorer — software around the payment, never in the money flow.
available wherever wallet-to-wallet payments are permitted
Because settlement is on-chain to your own wallet, there is no bank partnership gating access and no account that can be closed over geography — local crypto rules still apply. Merchants use crypt.pe across India, the UAE, Nigeria, the Philippines, Brazil and 100+ other markets — see the country guides.
stablecoin-first, volatility optional
Accept USDT or USDC and a $100 invoice locks to a fixed token amount that targets a $1 peg — value movement between creation and payment stays minimal. Prefer BTC, ETH or SOL? Token amounts are locked at invoice time either way, and your dashboard records the USD value of every payment for clean bookkeeping. Questions? Start with the FAQ or payment help.
