# Increasing the fee using another wallet
How can I access the account in Leather wallet on another Bitcoin wallet to increase the fee on a transaction.
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.). \
1. Install and open Sparrow wallet from
2. Select “New wallet” from the “File” menu.
3. Name your wallet.
4. Set the "script type" to "native SegWit" at the top of the settings page.
5. Select "New or Imported Software Wallet" from under "Keystores".
6. Select “Use 24 words” and enter your Secret Key from Leather. \
\
❗️IMPORTANT: You must use the exact same seed phrase / Secret Key as the one you use in Leather, or these instructions won’t work.
7. Select “Create Keystore” then “Import Keystore”.
Note: m/84'/0'/0' assumes you want to access the BTC balance address on Account 1 in the Leather extension. If, for example, you want to access Account **269** from Leather, change the derivation path to m/84'/0'/**268**'
8. Select "Apply" in the bottom right corner.
9. Select “No Password” or set password.
10. Select UTXO's from the sidebar.
### 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.
11. Right click on the unconfirmed transaction to increase the fee (RBF) using sparrow wallet.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://leather.gitbook.io/guides/bitcoin/increasing-the-fee-using-another-wallet.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
