Built for same-day cash-first access

For people who want Bitcoin without waiting days on banks.

Adding cash at participating CVS® checkout locations gives customers a familiar way to fund their Crypto Dispensers account. Generate an add-cash barcode, complete the retail cash-loading transaction at the register, keep your receipt, then use your funded balance to buy Bitcoin separately through Crypto Dispensers and its partners after funds are available and required account steps are complete.

People who want Bitcoin the same day

For users who do not want to wait days for ACH settlement or exchange review. Add cash at a participating CVS® checkout, then use your funded account to buy Bitcoin after funds are available.

Bitcoin ATM users tired of high fees

Bitcoin ATMs can feel expensive, unclear, and unpredictable. This flow gives cash users a register-first alternative with a receipt, account funding, and a separate Bitcoin purchase step.

Users blocked by cards or banks

Debit, credit, and ACH transactions can be declined, limited, treated as cash advances, or flagged as high risk. Adding cash gives users another way to fund their account without relying only on card or bank approval.

Cash-dependent customers

For people who get paid in cash, budget in cash, or simply prefer using cash. You can add physical cash at a familiar CVS® checkout, then use your Crypto Dispensers balance to buy Bitcoin.

Online account funders

Some users need Bitcoin to fund online accounts where card or bank payments may be restricted, declined, delayed, or capped. This gives them a cash-first path to Bitcoin, subject to verification and transaction controls.

People who want control before sending

The retail checkout step funds your account. The Bitcoin purchase happens separately, giving you a chance to confirm your amount, wallet address, and transaction details before delivery.
