Speed up a Bitcoin transaction in Trezor Suite

For a pending Bitcoin payment you sent, use Suite’s Speed up option to review a higher fee and approve a replacement on your Trezor.

Check that this is your outgoing payment

These steps use replace by fee: the sender makes a replacement transaction with a higher fee. You need the sending wallet and your Trezor to approve it. An incoming payment needs the sender’s help with this method. A payment already confirmed in a block cannot be changed this way.

Find the transaction ID first

1. Find the pending payment

Open the Bitcoin account’s transaction list in Suite. Find the outgoing payment and select Speed up. Check that it is the payment you intend to replace.

2. Review the new fee

Choose a higher fee from the Standard options, or use Advanced if you understand the fee rate. Check the proposed total fee and every recipient’s address and amount. Current network estimates can help you compare, but they cannot guarantee a confirmation time.

  • The receiving address matches the original payment request.
  • The recipient’s bitcoin amount is still what you intend to send.
  • You have checked the new total fee, not just the amount of the increase.

3. Approve the replacement

Select Replace transaction in Suite. Follow the prompts on your Trezor and review the details on its screen before approving. Wait for Suite to report that it has sent the replacement. A sent transaction still needs to be included in a Bitcoin block.

4. Follow the new transaction ID

Open the replacement’s details and copy its new TX ID. Check that ID in UTXOHub and compare the receiving address and amount again. Give the recipient the new ID if they are following the old one. The replacement still needs to confirm.

If Speed up is missing or fails

Check the latest status first: the original might have confirmed while you were reviewing the replacement. Read Suite’s warning if the option is disabled or it cannot prepare the higher fee. Do not create a second independent payment to solve the delay; both payments could eventually confirm.

  • If someone else sent it, ask them to check the options in their sending wallet or service.
  • If Suite does not offer a supported replacement, use Trezor’s official troubleshooting instructions. Other methods, such as spending an unconfirmed output, have different requirements.
  • If there is no urgency, waiting is an option. Keep checking the payment’s status; no fixed confirmation time is promised.

All questions & guides

The original payment may confirm before a replacement. Use Suite’s own Speed up flow; never import keys into an online recovery service.
