Illinois · online service
A Chicago company history you can check.
Our first Bitcoin ATM opened at Woodfield Mall in the Chicago area in 2017. Our services have changed since then. The current purchase process starts online, and the payment methods shown in your account depend on eligibility and provider support.
You can read our company history and photo archive and check company records and controls before deciding whether to use our service. This page is an online buying guide, not an invitation to a walk-in retail counter.
More preparation details for your purchase
Preparing a bank wire from Chicago
Create your account and start a wire request before contacting your bank. Our team reviews your information and provides instructions for that purchase. Check the beneficiary, bank details and reference against those instructions. A bank account used to fund your purchase must meet the ownership and eligibility requirements shown in your request.
Your bank controls its own wire cutoff and charges. Ask the bank when it expects to send the funds rather than assuming that opening a request means a wire has been sent. After funds arrive and the required review is complete, you approve the final price before the Bitcoin purchase proceeds.
Planning to withdraw cash for a Bitcoin ATM? Our Illinois ATM and cash-buying guide explains how to compare a wire before withdrawing money, alongside ACH, debit and credit card options, the cash guide and ATM fee examples.

Costs and timing
Review the full quote before committing.
For a new guided wire purchase, the service fee is a flat 8% of the full amount sent. Your bank may charge separately, and other applicable quoted costs may apply. Review the current wire fee explanation and calculator before sending funds.
Wire processing, account review and Bitcoin delivery take time. Your bank’s schedule, the required checks and network confirmations can affect your purchase. Read the wire timing guide, or ask our team about the status of your request.
ACH and card costs and timing differ from the wire service. Check the actual offer, the Bitcoin amount and any bank or issuer charges. See credit-card considerations before using borrowed funds.
Your receiving wallet
Check the address and network before approval.
Prepare a wallet that supports the Bitcoin network used for your purchase. Copy the complete receiving address and check it carefully in the purchase flow. A wallet name, QR code screenshot or a few matching characters is not a substitute for reviewing the full address.
Use our Bitcoin wallet guide if you need help understanding the options. We never need your wallet recovery phrase or private keys to send Bitcoin to a receiving address. Bitcoin prices can change substantially, and a purchase can lose value. Decide independently whether to buy; do not proceed because someone promises a return or pressures you to pay.
