# Increasing the fee using another wallet

This guide can be used when Leather does not allow you to increase the fee. 

This guide can help prevent waiting any longer if...\
1\. All your BTC was used for the pending transaction or if.\
2\. the BTC left in the wallet after the transaction is to low to cover a high enough fee to get processed quickly enough.  \
\
This guide will not help if your pending transaction is sending an ordinal (typically from a taproot address starting with (bc1q...) and the fee is funded with BTC from the BTC balance address (starting with bc1q...).

### Step 1: Access your Leather account on Sparrow

These steps will make you access the first account in Leather. To access another account make a small adjustment in settings, [see details here](https://leather.gitbook.io/guides/bitcoin/accessing-account-2-and-up-from-the-wallet-extension-in-sparrow-wallet.). \ <br>

### Step 2: Find the pending transaction and increase the fee

Now that you have access to the Leather account in the other wallet you can find the unconfirmed transaction in it and increase the fee.&#x20;

11. Right click on the unconfirmed transaction to increase the fee (RBF) using sparrow wallet.&#x20;
