Compare BitPay Bitcoin buying with a guided wire purchase.
Want to buy Bitcoin for a wallet you control? Compare BitPay’s partner purchase offers with arranging a bank wire through our team. We help you prepare approved instructions and review the final quote and receiving wallet before purchase.
Compare the purchase and the wallet you want to use.
Crypto Dispensers is a BitPay Bitcoin buying alternative for eligible U.S. customers who want a supported wire purchase. BitPay offers purchases through third-party providers and supports delivery to a receiving wallet. Compare the provider completing your order, funding availability and complete price. This comparison concerns buying Bitcoin, not BitPay’s merchant payment services.
BitPay helps you choose a purchase provider.
BitPay’s buying guide lets you choose a partner offer and complete that provider’s checkout. Its support guide names partners including MoonPay, Banxa, Simplex, Ramp Network and Transak. Available offers depend on your purchase and location. A BitPay wallet and the provider selling Bitcoin have different roles.

| What to compare | BitPay | Our wire purchase |
|---|---|---|
| Who handles the purchase | The selected partner completes the purchase and handles order-specific support. | Our team helps explain your account request, approved wire instructions, quote and delivery. |
| Funding options | Cards, bank payments and mobile methods are offered through partners where available. | Use a domestic USD wire from your eligible bank account after approved instructions are issued. |
| Complete price | Compare the selected partner’s full offer and net Bitcoin. Wallet send fees are a separate transaction. | After bank receipt and required review, approve the complete quote before purchase. |
| Wallet destination | Buy to a receiving address online or choose a wallet in the app. Verify the selected Bitcoin destination. | We send purchased Bitcoin to your confirmed eligible wallet after approval and purchase. |
Include every cost through wallet delivery.
For your BitPay purchase
BitPay compares partner purchase offers. Use the final selected provider’s exchange rate, fees and Bitcoin amount rather than applying a merchant-processing rate to a consumer purchase. If you later send Bitcoin from the BitPay wallet, its network fee depends on network conditions and your chosen confirmation speed. That later send is separate from the purchase. Count each cost once when comparing the same total budget and final destination.
For our bank-wire purchase
Our standard starting service fee is 8% below $100,000 or 5% at $100,000 or more, applied to the whole wire. Your bank may charge separately and other quoted charges may apply. As your transaction volume with us grows, we can review your rate and may lower it individually. There is no fixed further-discount schedule or automatic reduction.
Our wire purchase has a standard service fee. A provider available through BitPay may offer a lower complete price. Compare actual offers and the assistance you want; we do not promise a lower cost.
Compare the same total dollar budget and net Bitcoin received using quotes from roughly the same time. Count each charge once if already included in the quote. We have not made comparison purchases or obtained simultaneous executable quotes.

You can keep using the BitPay wallet with a separate purchase.
BitPay’s Bitcoin buying page supports sending purchased Bitcoin to a receiving address, and its wallet is a separate self-custody product. If you use the BitPay wallet to receive a purchase from us, confirm the eligible Bitcoin receiving address and network with our team. You do not need to change wallets simply to compare purchase methods.
Use the purchase partner for a delayed order.
BitPay’s support guide directs order, payment and delivery questions to the selected purchase partner. Its bank-account guide also describes partner-based ACH buying, not a universal bank-wire service. Check the offer currently available for your location and account. Paying a BitPay merchant invoice is a different task from buying Bitcoin for your own wallet.

Preparing a wire purchase with our team
Our service is available to eligible U.S. customers outside Georgia, Washington and New York. There is no stated minimum or maximum purchase amount; bank limits and required account and transaction reviews still apply. Estimated processing is 1–2 days, with possible delays from banks, review and network conditions.
Wait for approved instructions before sending funds. After funds arrive and review is complete, you approve the quote before purchase and delivery. If you cancel after funds arrive, eligible returns can take up to 90 calendar days. Confirm return conditions and charges before funding. Bitcoin prices can move during processing and after delivery.

Questions about BitPay and Crypto Dispensers.
Does BitPay sell every Bitcoin purchase itself?
Its buying guide describes choosing an offer from a purchase partner and completing that partner’s checkout. Identify the business handling your particular order.
Can I buy through your team and receive Bitcoin in my BitPay wallet?
You can request delivery to your eligible Bitcoin receiving wallet, including a compatible BitPay wallet. Confirm the address and network with our team before purchase.
Does BitPay’s bank-account buying guide establish a U.S. wire option?
No. Its guide describes ACH buying through a partner. Confirm the method offered for your actual order; ACH and a bank wire are different funding methods.
Who helps if a purchase started in BitPay is delayed?
BitPay’s support guide directs purchase and delivery questions to the selected partner. A purchase with our team is separate and cannot release that partner’s payment.
Can I speak with your team before funding?
Yes. Start your account request or request a callback. Our team can help explain preparation, approved bank instructions, the final quote and delivery. Creating an account does not send money or complete a purchase.
