Buy Bitcoin with an ACH transfer from an eligible U.S. bank account in your name. Review the fees and Bitcoin amount before authorizing payment. ACH settlement can take up to five business days; funds must clear and required checks must finish before Bitcoin is released.
Start in your account, choose an available ACH offer, and follow the bank-payment status. Bitcoin is sent to your confirmed wallet after settlement and required checks.
Your first purchase
How to buy Bitcoin with an ACH bank transfer.
Before you begin: Have your legal name, email address, an eligible U.S. bank account in your name and your receiving wallet ready.
01
Create your account
Sign up with your legal name and email. Follow the steps to verify your identity.
02
Choose bank ACH
Select an available bank offer and review the bank-linking or verification steps.
03
Review before authorizing
Check the payment amount, fees, Bitcoin amount and expected settlement and delivery timing.
04
Follow settlement and Bitcoin delivery
An authorized bank payment may still need to settle. Follow the payment status in your account. Bitcoin is sent to your confirmed wallet after the funds settle and required checks are complete.
Know the cost and timing
Check the current offer for ACH fees, limits, settlement and delivery timing. A submitted payment is not the same as settled funds or a completed Bitcoin purchase.
Your options depend on where you live and the checks required for your account. Signing up does not make a purchase or guarantee approval. Questions? Talk to our team.

Your next step
Compare ACH and wire
Review funding, pricing, and wallet delivery before choosing ACH or wire. Use our ACH versus wire comparison to follow both purchases through to your wallet.
Before paying by ACH, check the fees, purchase limit, and expected settlement time. Your Bitcoin can be sent only after the bank payment clears and required checks are complete.
What to expect
Settlement can take up to 5 business days.
Allow up to five business days for settlement. While the payment is pending, your Bitcoin cannot be released. Check your account for the limit and timing that apply to your purchase. An order started before a weekend or banking holiday may still be settling afterward. Use the status in your account, rather than counting calendar days as banking days.
Your available ACH offer determines the minimum, maximum, fees and Bitcoin amount. Check the full offer before authorizing. We do not publish one universal ACH rate or limit because account eligibility and provider terms can differ.
What to check in your ACH offer
Question
What to look for
What will leave my bank?
Total debit and any separately charged bank fee.
What reaches my wallet?
Net BTC after charges included in the offer. Check the wallet and network.
When is it ready?
Allow up to five business days for settlement. Required review can also affect release.
Is this amount supported?
Current minimum, maximum and any account or bank restriction.
To compare offers, divide the total dollars paid by net BTC delivered. Include a separate charge once. Our quote-comparison calculator can do the arithmetic with figures you enter.
If your bank has been debited but delivery is pending, check the funding and order status first. Read how to identify the waiting stage before sending another payment.
Buying Bitcoin with ACH: common questions.
What does ACH mean when buying Bitcoin?
ACH is a U.S. bank-payment network. For an eligible Crypto Dispensers purchase, follow the bank-funding route offered in your account. Read Nacha’s explanation of ACH for the banking process.
Can I buy Bitcoin with ACH instantly?
You can start an eligible purchase online, but our ACH service does not release Bitcoin instantly. Funds must settle and required checks must finish first. Settlement can take up to five business days. A bank debit, payment authorization or displayed balance does not by itself mean Bitcoin is ready to send. Check funding holds versus Bitcoin network delays if you are waiting.
What are the fees for buying Bitcoin with ACH?
Your quote shows the dollar amount, Bitcoin amount, and purchase fees. Check it before you approve. Ask your bank whether it charges anything separately.
What should I do if my bank was debited but Bitcoin has not arrived?
Sign in to your account and check whether the bank payment is still settling or the purchase is under review. If you are unsure, send our support team your order reference before trying another payment.
How does ACH differ from a wire?
ACH and wire are separate bank-payment routes with different instructions, processing and costs. For personal support and verified wire instructions, compare our white-glove wire service.
Can I buy Bitcoin with ACH without identity verification?
Complete the identity and bank-account checks required for your purchase. An ACH payment does not bypass verification. Use an eligible U.S. bank account in your name and follow the requirements shown in your Crypto Dispensers account.
Can I buy a fraction of Bitcoin with ACH?
You do not need to buy a whole Bitcoin. Your available offer determines the minimum, limit and total cost. Read how fractional Bitcoin purchases work, then review the BTC amount in your quote. Smaller purchases can be more sensitive to fixed charges.
Check the bank and provider status, keep the order reference and contact support before funding again. Ask whether a return, a pending debit or an unresolved order remains. Any return fee or restriction depends on the applicable terms; do not assume a new attempt cancels the earlier one.
Can I use a bank account in someone else’s name?
Use an eligible U.S. bank account in your own name and complete the requested ownership checks. If your account is joint or the displayed name does not match, ask our team about eligibility before authorizing. Do not use another person’s account to get around a restriction.

Your next step
Ready to buy from your bank account?
Create your account to check the ACH options available to you. Review the offer, timing and receiving wallet before you authorize a payment. If you need help, contact our team.
Bank authorization, settlement, purchase execution, and wallet delivery are separate steps. Before authorizing an ACH purchase, check when your funds settle and whether a hold affects Bitcoin release. A bank debit or an account balance does not by itself mean Bitcoin is ready to send. If an earlier attempt is pending, confirm its outcome before starting another purchase.
