Generate a barcode in your Crypto Dispensers account, add cash at a participating retail checkout location through Green Dot, then use your Crypto Dispensers balance to buy Bitcoin.
The participating retailer handles the cash-loading step only. Bitcoin is not purchased from or at the retailer. Your Bitcoin purchase happens separately through Crypto Dispensers after your account balance is funded.

Buying Bitcoin with cash near you through Crypto Dispensers follows a different process than a traditional Bitcoin ATM. The retail checkout location handles the cash-loading transaction, while the Bitcoin purchase happens separately through Crypto Dispensers.
The process starts by generating a barcode inside your Crypto Dispensers account. That barcode is used to add cash at a participating retail checkout location through Green Dot. After the cash load is complete, your Crypto Dispensers balance can be used to buy Bitcoin and send it to the wallet destination you provide. If you want a fully digital route instead, explore Buy Bitcoin Online.
