💵

Buying Bitcoin and payment methods

What payment methods does Crypto Dispensers support?

Crypto Dispensers supports multiple ways to buy Bitcoin depending on your needs. These include in-store cash deposits at participating retail locations, debit or credit cards where supported, ACH bank transfers, and wire transfers. Each method has different speed, limits, and verification requirements.

What is the difference between in-store cash deposits and Bitcoin ATMs?

In-store cash deposits are processed at staffed retail checkouts using regulated payment rails. This provides clearer receipts, more predictable processing, and better customer support than unattended machines. Bitcoin ATMs may offer immediate access, but often involve higher fees and less transparency.

Can I choose which payment method to use?

Yes. During your purchase flow, you can select the payment method that best fits your situation. Availability may vary based on your location, verification status, and transaction size.

💳

Fees and pricing

What fees should I expect when buying Bitcoin?

Fees vary by payment method and cover processing, settlement, and operational costs. All applicable fees are clearly disclosed before you confirm a transaction. Bitcoin network fees are separate and depend on blockchain conditions at the time of delivery.

Why do fees differ between cash, cards, ACH, and wires?

Each payment method carries different costs and risks. Card payments involve chargeback risk and issuer controls. ACH transfers require bank settlement. Cash deposits rely on retail networks. Wire transfers involve manual review. Fees reflect these underlying mechanics.

⏱️

Timing and Bitcoin delivery

How long does it take to receive my Bitcoin?

Delivery timing depends on the payment method used. In-store cash deposits typically post the same day after confirmation. Card purchases are often processed within minutes if approved. ACH transfers usually take one to three business days. Wire transfers may complete the same business day once confirmed.

Where is my Bitcoin sent after purchase?

Bitcoin is sent directly to the external wallet address you provide. Crypto Dispensers does not custody your Bitcoin. You remain in control of your funds at all times.

🛂

Verification and limits

Why is identity verification required?

Identity verification is required to comply with financial regulations and prevent fraud. Requirements depend on transaction size, payment method, and applicable laws. Verification helps protect both customers and the platform.

Are there limits on how much Bitcoin I can buy?

Yes. Limits vary by payment method and verification level. Higher limits may require additional information or the use of bank-based payment methods such as ACH or wire transfers.

🔐

Security, support, and safety

What should I do if something does not look right?

If anything seems unclear or unexpected, stop before proceeding and contact support. Our team can view the status of your transaction and help resolve issues before they become problems.

Can Crypto Dispensers reverse a Bitcoin transaction?

No. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible once sent. This is why it is important to verify wallet addresses and transaction details before confirming a purchase.
