At Tap, adaptability and innovation define everything we do. Operating across the EU, EEA, and the UK, we’ve built a reputation for offering cutting-edge fintech and crypto solutions while continually striving to adapt and innovate in response to evolving regulations. But the road isn’t always smooth—sometimes, regulatory changes demand that we rethink, adapt, and find creative solutions to stay true to our mission.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce the return of XTP token locking for Premium accounts in the UK—a journey that wasn’t without its challenges, but one that reflects our unwavering commitment to our users.

A Challenge Worth Tackling

Last October, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) introduced new regulations aimed at tightening the promotion and distribution of cryptocurrency services. These rules, while important for safeguarding the sector, directly impacted the structure of our Premium accounts. 

For our EU and EEA users, accessing Premium perks like lower fees, higher card spending limits, cashback rewards, and VIP support is as simple as locking a specific amount of XTP tokens for 12 months. For our UK users, regulatory requirements led us to suspend this system to ensure compliance. Determined to continue offering UK users access to our Premium perks, in its place, we introduced a new structure : Premium upgrades through a fixed annual fee paid in GBP.

This interim solution allowed us to continue offering UK users the perks they loved, but it wasn’t the ideal experience we wanted for our community. Restoring XTP locking for the UK became a top priority.

Behind the Scenes: A Year of Dedication and Perseverance

When the change rolled out, many users understandably voiced frustration. Some felt we weren’t doing enough, unaware of the monumental effort happening behind the scenes. The reality? Our team embarked on a year-long journey deeply immersed in research, consultations, and legal review to align our XTP locking system with the regulatory requirements in order to craft a compliant yet user-centric solution.

This wasn’t a quick fix. Every step of the process—from analysing legal frameworks to liaising coordinating with relevant stakeholders required time, expertise, and meticulous attention to detail. We don’t take shortcuts, and we don’t settle for half measures. At Tap, we focus on outcomes, not just promises, we channel our energy into quietly, diligently achieving results.

A Moment of Triumph: The Return of XTP Locking

After a year of hard work, we’re delighted to reintroduce XTP locking for Premium accounts in the UK. This marks a return to the system our users value—one that aligns perfectly with our broader offering across the EU and EEA.

For those who upgraded to Premium with the GBP annual fee, our dedicated support team will personally reach out to personally guide you through your options and ensure a seamless transition. We’re committed to making this process as smooth and rewarding as possible. We’re committed to ensuring this transition is smooth, positive, and tailored to your needs, giving you the best experience possible.

The Road Ahead

This journey is a reminder of what makes Tap unique. We don’t just adapt in the face of complex challenges; we embrace them as opportunities to grow and innovate. We’re proud to bring back a feature that resonates deeply with our community, and we’re more excited than ever about what lies ahead.

We’re proud to bring this chapter full circle and thank every one of our users for their patience and trust. Here’s to the next step forward—together.

The holiday season, with all its glitter, cheer and tradition, can sometimes feel like a whirlwind of emotions and expenses. Between those persuasive commercials and the relentless social media ads and influencers, it can feel like an added pressure on your finances that you just don’t have the energy to fight off at the end of the year.

But fret not, taming holiday spending isn't as tricky as wrapping a bowling ball, even if your loved ones are living it up in the holiday splurge zone while you're in the "I'm on a budget" Santa hat.

We’re here to help you sleigh the festive season without sending your bank account into winter hibernation. Here are five realistic financial boundaries to implement with friends and family this festive season. 

Create a budget

Who could have predicted this? Well, it's not exactly breaking news, but a well-crafted budget is your trusty reindeer reins. And no, it's not here to rain on your festive parade, it's the voice of reason when things get a little too merry.

Planning a holiday budget may not sound like a barrel of laughs, but trust us, it's the key to unlocking financial serenity this season. Here's your step-by-step guide to make it a tad more enjoyable:

Step one: Snuggle up with your favourite holiday treat and get comfy. Plot out your budget, factoring in gifts, decorations, travel, and entertainment.

Step two: Be brutally honest with yourself about your spending limits and keep expectations in check. Keep it realistic, and don’t ignore your January Voice of Reason.

Step three: Now, manage and follow your budget as if your life depended on it. It's your financial GPS, steering you away from the treacherous cliffs of overspending. Be in the business of staying disciplined, and both your wallet and future self will be singing your praises.

Be picky with your social calendar

Finding the right balance during the holiday season can be a bit tricky, especially if you're the life of the party who never turns down a chance to celebrate. While holiday gatherings are undeniably fun, they can also put a strain on your wallet, what with buying gifts or splurging on new outfits for every Friendsgiving or seasonal bash on your invite list.

So, what's the secret sauce? Simple, really: set a cap on how many events you'll attend, and fill your calendar with wallet-friendly or no-cost activities. 

Think about hosting a cosy Christmas cocktail night at home instead of hitting up pricy holiday pop-up bars, enjoying potluck dinners at friends instead of eating out, or even just swapping holiday-themed books with your pals. These options let you savour the holiday spirit without breaking the bank.

Propose a gift swap instead of playing Santa to all

The fastest way to empty your pockets during the festive season? Showering gifts on everyone you adore. It's undeniably heartwarming, as the holidays are all about giving, but if your mission is to rescue your finances, it's crucial to stick to that budget.

Here's the savvy play: suggest a group gift exchange like Secret Santa or White Elephant, where each person is responsible for a single present. This gem of an idea works wonders, especially if you're accustomed to playing Santa for your entire office or friend gang, at the cost of any good times in January.

Now, we get it. Your love language might be gift-giving and holding back your desire to gift everyone can be challenging. However, it'll save you a ton of money in the long run. Bonus? You might discover that you can give a more heartfelt gift when you're not fretting over multiple purchases or chasing down the perfect presents for everyone. Happier you, happier everyone.

Embrace the cash or debit approach

Taming the holiday spending frenzy calls for some clever tactics. Swap that tempting credit card for cash or a trusty debit card when you head off on your festive shopping adventures. With this approach, you'll stick to spending only what's safely nestled in your bank account.

It's like Santa himself keeping a watchful eye on your wallet, ensuring you don't venture into the land of overspending. When you physically see those bills leave your hand or the numbers dip in your account, it becomes a tangible reminder to stay within your budget. 

So, this holiday season, let your cash or debit card be your financial guardian and keep the festivities merry without the budget hangover.

Master the art of responsible online shopping

Last but not least, yes, online shopping is still spending. The allure of online deals and discounts can be irresistible, leading to overspending in the blink of an eye. To conquer this digital shopping realm, establish a strict limit on your online purchases and banish impulsive buying tendencies.

But there's more: declutter your inbox by unsubscribing from those tempting promotional emails. It's like building a fortress around your financial willpower. With fewer temptations, you're less likely to get lured into spontaneous shopping sprees.

Final thoughts

Navigating the holiday whirlwind without emptying your pockets is doable. Craft a budget, stick to it, and then lean into the festivities around you. Sticking to these boundaries will not only protect your mental health but also ensure a festive season filled with cheer, not financial stress. Because, after all, aren’t Aunt Linda’s questions about what you’re doing with your life stressful enough?

Got Bitcoin and wondering how to turn it into spendable money? You're not alone. Whether you're looking to realize your profits, pay for goods and services, or simply diversify your investment portfolio, cashing out Bitcoin can be a straightforward process with the right guidance.

This guide breaks down everything you need to know about converting your digital currency into cold, hard cash (or cold digital cash, if you prefer).

How to cash out Bitcoin

There are a few options available to you - all with varying degrees of accessibility and complexities. We’ll run through them below, see which one most resonates with your preferences.

1. Online exchanges 

Online exchanges are probably the simplest option here, depending on the platform. When selecting a cryptocurrency exchange to cash out your Bitcoin, consider factors like security measures, user reviews, trading volume, and withdrawal fees. Look for exchanges that offer a seamless user experience and prioritise the safety of your funds.

While crypto exchanges will charge a small fee, they also allow you to: 

• Sell Bitcoin directly
• Transfer money to your bank account
• Track your transactions easily

Using Tap as an example, the process would be to download the app, create an account, complete the quick identity verification process (<5 minutes) and then transfer your BTC to your unique BTC wallet.

To sell it, simply select Sell, confirm the transaction and choose which currency you would like to receive the funds in. These funds will then be deposited into the relevant wallet in the app, which you can use to pay bills, send to your fiat bank account, spend using your Tap card or withdraw from an ATM. 

Transaction costs: usually 0.5% - 1.5%

2. Bitcoin ATMs

Bitcoin ATMs are darted around countries (see here for specifics) and allow users to withdraw the local currency for Bitcoin. Note that this route is notorious for higher fees, so take note when confirming the transaction. 

The advantages of Bitcoin ATMs:

• Instantly converts Bitcoin to cash
• Get money right on the spot
• Available in many major cities

Transaction costs: 5% - 10%

3. Direct peer-to-peer selling

Kind of like selling something on Gumtree, but for Bitcoin. These websites connect you directly with buyers who want Bitcoin and have varying degrees of security and features. 

Be sure to use verified platforms with good reviews as scams can be rife. Some of these platforms offer escrow services, meaning that they hold the BTC until the payment clears, after which they release the funds. Look at options like LocalBitcoins.

Transaction costs: Varies

Steps to ensure security

Before cashing out Bitcoin, here are a few steps to take to ensure the safety of your funds:

• Use reputable platforms that are licensed and regulated.
• Use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication for added security.
• Regularly update your wallet/app software to protect against potential vulnerabilities.
• Avoid sharing your sensitive information or private keys with anyone to prevent unauthorised access.
• Consider diversifying your funds across multiple wallets for added protection. 

Tax implications of cashing out Bitcoin

When you sell Bitcoin for cash in the UK, it’s important to understand the potential tax implications. HMRC treats cryptocurrency transactions as taxable events, meaning you may need to report and pay Capital Gains Tax on any profits from the sale.

Consulting a tax professional or accountant can help you understand your obligations and navigate the often complex waters of cryptocurrency taxation. They can ensure you comply with current UK tax laws and provide guidance specific to your situation.

It’s also very important to keep an accurate record of all your crypto transactions. Make sure to document the date of purchase, the sale price, and any associated fees, as these records will make it easier to calculate and report your gains or losses when filing your tax return. (Side note: you can download your statements directly from the Tap app). 

For more information, explore HMRC's guidelines on cryptocurrency taxation. Staying informed and organised will help you manage your tax responsibilities smoothly and avoid potential penalties.

Verification requirements

When cashing out Bitcoin on an exchange, verifying your identity is an important step to ensure the security of your transaction and compliance with regulations. If a platform doesn’t ask for this verification: red flag. 

Overview of the verification process

Exchanges need to complete this verification step to prevent fraud and follow legal requirements. You’ll typically need to provide:

• A valid ID for identity verification
• Proof of address, such as a utility bill
• Sometimes, a selfie for facial recognition

The specific requirements can vary based on the exchange and the amount of Bitcoin you’re selling.

Tips for a smooth verification process

• Have all your documents ready before starting to avoid delays.
• Double-check the accuracy of the information you provide to prevent verification issues.
• Follow the exchange’s instructions carefully to ensure the process is quick and secure.

Security considerations

When submitting personal information, always use a trusted exchange with a strong reputation for security. Look for platforms known for protecting user data to reduce the risk of breaches.

Understanding fees when cashing out Bitcoin

Cashing out Bitcoin usually comes with some costs, so it’s good to know what to expect.

Exchange Fees

Most crypto exchanges charge a trading fee when you sell Bitcoin. The fee varies depending on the exchange and the size of your transaction.

Withdrawal Fees

If you transfer your funds to a bank account or payment method, the exchange might charge a withdrawal fee. These fees can be higher for larger transactions.

Network Fees

Bitcoin transactions also include network fees (or mining fees), which go to miners for verifying and processing your transaction on the blockchain.

To reduce fees, look for exchanges with low rates, choose slower transaction speeds to save on network fees, and compare withdrawal options to find the cheapest one.

Timing considerations traders might pay attention to

Timing can play a big role in deciding when to sell your Bitcoin. Here are some key factors traders often look out for:

Market conditions

Traders recommend staying updated on crypto news and keeping an eye on price trends and market conditions.

Withdrawal limits

Traders advise knowing the withdrawal limits of the exchange before completing their cash out so as to plan their cash-out strategy and avoid delays.

Funds transfer time

Traders plan ahead, knowing that it can take a few business days for funds to transfer after selling Bitcoin (depending on which avenue you took) allows them to manage their finances more efficiently.

Other potential roadblocks

When cashing out Bitcoin, keep an eye out for potential roadblocks, like minimum withdrawal amounts, which could affect how much you can withdraw at once. 

Be prepared for account verification requirements, as exchanges often need you to verify your identity before processing transactions. On some platforms this can take days - not ideal if you’re trying to take advantage of price surges. 

You might also have to deal with geographic restrictions that limit access to certain exchanges based on your location. Be sure to check this before signing up with a platform.

Conclusion

Here we’ve covered the essentials of cashing out Bitcoin, from selecting an exchange to understanding taxes. If you’re new to cryptocurrency, take the time to learn about the process before selling, and remember that what works for one person might not work for another. Being prepared will help you make better decisions and avoid mistakes.

As Bitcoin has grown from a niche investment to a widely accepted payment method, it is now accepted by millions of merchants around the world. This guide will cover everything you need to know about using Bitcoin for payments, from simple transactions to more advanced tips. And no, you don’t need to be a tech whizz to figure this out. 

Getting started with Bitcoin payments

Before using Bitcoin, we’d recommend that you first understand how the decentralised payment system works. A great place to start is our guide on What Bitcoin Is. 

Once you’ve got a grip on the basics and you’re ready to dive into payments, the first step will be setting up a Bitcoin wallet, which will serve as your digital tool for sending and receiving cryptocurrency.

How to set up your Bitcoin wallet

Your Bitcoin wallet is your personal gateway to the Bitcoin network. With a range of options available, here are some popular wallet options:

• Hardware wallets (like Ledger or Trezor) for maximum security
• Mobile wallets (such as Tap) for convenience
• Desktop wallets for detailed control
• Web wallets for easy access

It’s a good idea to choose a type of wallet that balances your security needs with your accessibility requirements - each person will have their own preference. 

Different methods of paying with Bitcoin

Directly to the merchant 

Many businesses now accept Bitcoin directly through their online or PoS payment systems. The process typically involves:

1. Selecting Bitcoin as your payment method
2. Scanning a QR code with your wallet
3. Confirming the transaction amount
4. Waiting for network confirmation

Through payment processors

Payment processors like Tap help bridge the gap between Bitcoin and traditional payment systems. These services often provide:

• Instant conversion to fiat currency for merchants
• Lower transaction fees compared to credit cards
• Integration with existing point-of-sale systems
• Customer protection features

(If you’re a business looking to leverage crypto in your operations, see our range of business services here). 

Peer-to-peer transactions

For direct person-to-person payments, Bitcoin offers several advantages:

• No intermediary required
• Lower fees than traditional wire transfers
• Cross-border transactions without currency conversion
• Immediate settlement options

With Tap, you can send funds directly to other Tap users for free. Users will still be liable for the Bitcoin transaction fee as this is outside of Tap’s control.

Where to spend Bitcoin

As the Bitcoin payment ecosystem continues to grow, more and more options are becoming available for where you can spend your cryptocurrency:

Online retailers

• Major retail platforms (from Overstock to Gucci)
• Fast food chains (Burger King, Subway)
• Grocery stores (Whole Foods)
• Travel booking sites (Expedia)
• Digital service providers (Microsoft, AT&T)

Alternative methods

For many retailers that don’t accept Bitcoin, users can purchase gift cards using BTC. Alternatively, anyone with a Tap card can spend Bitcoin anywhere in the world that accepts Mastercard. Simply open an account and request a free card by entering your address on the app (some location limits apply). 

How to convert Bitcoin to cash

When you need to convert Bitcoin to traditional currency, you have three main options:

• Cryptocurrency exchanges (access to the top prices through Tap)
• Peer-to-peer marketplaces (platforms like LocalBitcoins)
• Bitcoin ATMs for immediate cash withdrawal

Alternatively, you can use your Tap card at any traditional ATM and withdraw the local currency. 

Things to look out for

When using Bitcoin for payments, it’s important to keep a few things in mind. Pay attention to exchange rates and transaction fees (displayed before you confirm the transaction) as they can vary between platforms. 

Processing times might also differ depending on network congestion. Additionally, be aware of verification requirements and daily withdrawal limits of the platform you use, which could affect how much and how quickly you can transact.

Security and best practices

Transaction safety

Always make sure that your Bitcoin is protected by following these security measures:

• Double-check recipient addresses
• Use secure internet connections
• Enable two-factor authentication
• Keep software and wallets updated

Risk management

Just to be on the safe side, to minimise risks when using Bitcoin for payments, start with small transactions to test the process and get comfortable with it. Also make sure you understand transaction fees and confirmation times, as mentioned above, as these can impact your experience. 

Last but not least, always keep records of your transactions and stick to reputable services and merchants to ensure a safe and reliable payment process.

Tax and legal considerations

Using Bitcoin can have tax implications, so it’s important to understand your responsibilities relative to the area that you live. You may need to pay taxes on any increase in value, keep detailed transaction records, report payments, and consider tax rules if you’re using Bitcoin for business purposes.

To stay compliant with regulations, keep detailed transaction records and understand any reporting requirements. Follow KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) procedures on the platforms you use, and consult a tax professional if needed to ensure you’re meeting all obligations.

Going a little deeper

Understanding the technology

In a very concise nutshell, the Bitcoin network operates through:

• Blockchain technology for transaction verification
• Mining processes to secure the network
• Hash rate implications for security
• Supply and demand dynamics that establish the price

Market considerations

When using Bitcoin for payments, there are a few market considerations to keep in mind:

• Price volatility affects final amount
• Transaction fee fluctuations when the network is busy
• Network congestion impacts

The future of Bitcoin payments

As the ecosystem continues to grow and improve, the future of Bitcoin payments looks bright. 

More merchants are beginning to accept Bitcoin, making it increasingly accessible for everyday use and people around the world. While at the same time, user interfaces are becoming more intuitive, making transactions smoother and easier for both new and experienced users. 

Enhanced security features are also boosting confidence among both consumers and businesses. Meanwhile, innovations like Layer 2 scaling solutions are addressing challenges like speed and cost, further supporting its adoption on a larger scale.

As Bitcoin continues its gradual integratration with traditional financial systems, the gap between crypto and mainstream finance is disintegrating. 

Conclusion

There is no denying that Bitcoin payments are changing the way we think about and use money. As the technology evolves, understanding the basics will help you use cryptocurrency safely and effectively. Whether for everyday purchases or business transactions, Bitcoin provides a secure, flexible, and accessible payment option.

Stay updated on changes in the Bitcoin ecosystem and regulatory changes in your country, as new tools and services are constantly being developed to make using cryptocurrency even easier and more secure. And if you’re serious about spending your Bitcoin (and managing it effectively), have a look at what the Tap platform has to offer to see if it aligns with your needs.

When making purchases with your debit card, you’re typically asked to provide a security code, also known as a CVV or CVV2 code. This 3-digit (or sometimes 4-digit) number is an important security feature that helps protect your card from unauthorised use. Understanding what this code is, where to find it, and why it's crucial to keep it safe can help prevent financial fraud and give you greater control over your accounts. In this article, we dive into the details.

What is the security code used for?

The debit card security code serves a critical purpose in verifying your identity and protecting against fraudulent activity. When you provide the code during a transaction, it confirms that you physically possess the card, rather than just having access to the card number alone. 

This helps prevent criminals from making unauthorised purchases, especially for online, phone, or mail-order transactions where the physical card is not present. By requiring the security code, merchants and financial institutions can have an additional safeguard against fraud, giving you greater confidence that your hard-earned money stays secure.

Why are debit card security codes important?

The bottom line is that debit card security codes play a vital role in safeguarding your financial information and protecting your hard-earned money. This security code acts as an additional layer of security beyond just your card number and expiration date and without it, criminals would have a much easier time making unauthorised purchases or accessing your accounts. 

Where can I find my debit card security code?

The debit card security code is typically found in one of two places on your card: 

On most standard debit cards, the 3-digit code is printed on the back of the card, often in the signature strip or just to the right of it. 

Some debit cards may have a 4-digit security code that is printed on the front of the card, usually in the top right corner. 

How debit card security codes work with contactless payments

While debit cards with security codes are primarily used for in-person, online, and over-the-phone transactions, the code also plays a role in contactless or "tap-to-pay" payments. 

When you hold your debit card up to a contactless payment terminal, the 3- or 4-digit security code is digitally transmitted along with your card information. This allows the payment system to verify your identity and approve the transaction, just as it would for a contact-based payment that requires manually entering the security code. 

The security code therefore provides an extra layer of protection, even for quick tap-and-go purchases.

CVV vs OTP

The key difference between a debit card's CVV (card verification value) code and an OTP (one-time password) lies in how they function to verify transactions. A CVV is a static 3 or 4-digit code printed on your physical debit card, which you manually enter to confirm your identity. 

In contrast, an OTP is a dynamically generated code, typically sent to your mobile device via SMS from the bank or an authentication app, that changes with each new transaction. While both add an extra security layer, OTPs provide stronger protection, as they cannot be reused like a static CVV. 

Combining the use of your debit card's CVV code and a one-time password (OTP) provides the strongest protection against financial fraud.

CVV vs PIN

Your debit card's PIN (Personal Identification Number) is different from the CVV (card verification value) code.

The PIN is used to verify in-person transactions when you use the physical card, like at a store checkout or ATM.

The CVV code is used instead for remote purchases, like online or over the phone, where the physical card isn't present.

Closing thoughts

In summary, the debit card security code, also found on a credit card, is an essential safeguard against fraud and unauthorised transactions. By understanding what this code is, where to find it, and how it protects your finances, you can take control of your financial security and enjoy greater peace of mind when using your debit card in the wild or online.
