Your San Francisco buying guide
Read a Bitcoin quote from the total cost through delivery.
Costs quoted
Review the service charge and any other costs shown for your request.
Bitcoin received
Check the final Bitcoin amount, network and receiving address before approval.
A useful quote starts with the amount you will pay and ends with the Bitcoin you expect to receive. Keep the service charge, any separate bank charge, the Bitcoin price and other applicable quoted costs visible when comparing an online purchase with an exchange or a cash kiosk.
For our guided wire service, you first prepare a request and receive approved bank instructions. After funds arrive and required review is complete, you approve the final quote before we buy. The Bitcoin price can move between your initial planning and final approval.
San Francisco buyers comparing a California kiosk listing with an online service should read each service’s own current terms. California’s Department of Financial Protection and Innovation publishes separate crypto consumer resources, including information about kiosks. Those materials are independent background, not an endorsement of our service.
If you already use a wallet application, open its Bitcoin receive screen and confirm the supported asset and network. Ask whether the wallet controls the receiving address directly or requires an account with another provider. That provider may have its own access or withdrawal requirements.
For a wire arranged from the Bay Area, ask your bank which cutoff and time zone apply to its outgoing transfer. Keep the sending receipt and request reference together. Our team can explain the status we see after receipt without promising a market price or release time in advance.
California DFPI crypto consumer resources provides independent information. The agency’s material is separate from our service and its account review.
Bank wire · four steps
How to buy Bitcoin by wire.
We can help you prepare the request and understand the bank and wallet details before you pay.
- 01 / YOUR REQUEST
Prepare your purchase
Create an account and enter the amount, bank and receiving wallet. Complete the requested checks. We review your request before issuing bank instructions.
- 02 / YOUR BANK
Send the approved wire
Use the current beneficiary, bank details and reference for this request. Confirm your bank’s sending limits, cutoff and separate charge, then keep its receipt.
- 03 / YOUR APPROVAL
Review the final quote
After funds arrive and required review is complete, approve the final price before we buy. Check the total cost, net Bitcoin and receiving details.
- 04 / YOUR BITCOIN
Keep the delivery record
We arrange Bitcoin delivery to your confirmed supported wallet. Save your purchase confirmation and delivery transaction details.
Purchase costs and timing
Review the cost before sending.
The standard wire service fee is 8% of the full amount sent. A $10,000 wire has an $800 service fee, leaving $9,200 before other applicable costs. Your bank’s charge is separate. Review all costs and the final Bitcoin quote for your request.
You can ask our team to review your rate as your transaction volume grows. Any lower rate is agreed individually; there is no automatic discount schedule.
Bitcoin prices can change while a wire is in transit or under review. Your final approval comes after funds arrive and required checks are complete. Your bank’s sending time, account review, quote approval and Bitcoin delivery each affect timing.
Open the wire fee explanation and calculator. For an eligible bank or card alternative, compare the ACH guide and debit-card guide before choosing a payment method.
Questions from San Francisco buyers
Before you arrange the purchase.
Is an advertised Bitcoin price enough to compare two services?
Compare the full amount paid and the Bitcoin received after all disclosed costs. Also review delivery requirements, available support and the terms of any receiving-wallet provider.
When do I approve the price for a wire purchase?
After funds arrive and required review is complete, you review and approve the final price before we buy. A planning estimate does not fix the later Bitcoin price.
Can I use my existing Bitcoin wallet?
Prepare a supported Bitcoin receiving address and confirm the network for the request. Ask our team before funding if you are unsure how your wallet receives Bitcoin.
