Built for cash users who need speed

For people who want Bitcoin without waiting on slow bank rails.

Adding cash at participating TOPS® checkout locations gives cash-dependent users a familiar way to fund their Crypto Dispensers account. Generate a barcode, add cash at checkout, keep your receipt, then use your funded balance to buy Bitcoin after 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 delayed exchange funding. Add cash at a participating TOPS® register, 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 inconsistent. This 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 payments can be declined, capped, treated as cash advances, or flagged as high risk. Adding cash gives users another path that does not rely only on card or bank approval.

Cash-dependent customers

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

Online account funders

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

People who want control before sending

The retail add-cash step funds your account first. The Bitcoin purchase happens separately, giving you time to confirm your amount, wallet address, and transaction details before delivery.
