Important clarification

When you buy crypto with cash, the store is only for cash loading.

The participating retailer does not sell crypto, exchange crypto, or finish your purchase. You load a Crypto Dispensers balance at checkout, then buy through Bitcoin POP in your account.

At the retailer

Cash load only

Show your barcode, add cash, and keep the receipt. The cashier is processing a Green Dot cash load — not a crypto sale.

Through Crypto Dispensers

Then buy crypto

Use the funded balance to buy Bitcoin and other supported coins, confirm details, and send to a wallet you control.

Cash-first crypto access

Why people choose cash to buy crypto.

A guided cash load can feel clearer than a card checkout or a kiosk-only experience. You add cash at a familiar register, then buy through Bitcoin POP in your account.

Cash-first access

Start with physical cash instead of a card, bank login, or wire.

Clear steps

Cash loading stays separate from the crypto purchase inside your account.

Retail checkout

Generate a barcode and load cash at a participating Green Dot location.

Useful if you use cash

Helpful when you do not want to begin with a card, ACH, or wire.

Not a kiosk-only flow

An account-guided barcode flow — not a Crypto Dispensers-operated machine.

Guided purchase

Barcode, verification, balance, and wallet destination live in one account.

Supported crypto

Buy Bitcoin and other supported crypto with cash.

After cash is loaded, use Bitcoin POP to buy Bitcoin and other supported coins where available. Availability can vary by provider, verification, and account eligibility.

Bitcoin BTC

Primary asset for the cash-loading flow.

Ethereum ETH

Supported where the provider and account allow it.

Solana SOL

Available after your cash balance is funded, where supported.

More coins

XRP, USDC, USDT, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, and others may be available.

Account flow vs a kiosk

Buy crypto with cash without a kiosk-only experience.

Crypto Dispensers is an account-based cash load at retail checkout — not a Crypto Dispensers-operated machine. You generate a barcode, add cash, then buy through Bitcoin POP.

Crypto Dispensers

You need your own crypto wallet.

Provide a wallet address you control. Crypto Dispensers does not give you an external self-custody wallet. Check the address before you buy through Bitcoin POP.

Control your wallet

Use a wallet you can access before you load cash or buy crypto.

Double-check the address

A wrong destination may not be recoverable. Review it carefully.

Learn before you send

Read how wallet addresses work if this is your first transfer.
