Account

Account and onboarding

This section explains how accounts are created, what information is required, and how access to Crypto Dispensers services is established.

How do I create an account?

You can create an account by signing up through the Crypto Dispensers website or web application. During registration, you will be asked to provide basic contact information and create login credentials.

Account creation does not, by itself, enable all transaction types. Additional verification may be required before certain services become available.

Do I need an account to buy Bitcoin?

Yes. An account is required to purchase Bitcoin through Crypto Dispensers. Accounts allow transactions to be associated with verified user information, limits, and compliance controls required by law.

What information is required to open an account?

At minimum, account registration requires basic identifying information such as your name, email address, and phone number.

Depending on the services you use, additional information may be required to complete identity verification, including government-issued identification and other supporting documentation.

Can I have more than one account?

No. Each individual is permitted to maintain only one account. Multiple accounts associated with the same individual may be restricted or closed.

Can I close my account?

You may request account closure by contacting support. Account closure is subject to completion of any pending transactions, compliance reviews, or regulatory recordkeeping requirements.

Certain information may be retained after account closure as required by applicable law.

What if I forget my login information?

If you forget your login credentials, you can use the account recovery process to reset your password or regain access.

Additional verification may be required to confirm your identity before access is restored.

Payments

Payment methods

Crypto Dispensers supports multiple payment methods to accommodate different use cases, timelines, and transaction sizes. Availability, limits, and processing times vary by method.

In-store cash deposits

How does buying Bitcoin with cash work?

In-store cash deposits allow you to fund your account by presenting a barcode at participating retail locations. A cashier scans the barcode and accepts cash at the register.

Once the deposit is processed, your account balance is credited and you may purchase Bitcoin for delivery to your wallet.

Which stores support in-store cash deposits?

Supported locations vary by region and retailer. You can view participating stores using the location finder before initiating a deposit.

Do I need a barcode to deposit cash?

Yes. Each in-store cash deposit requires a barcode generated from your account. Barcodes are tied to a specific deposit intent and cannot be reused.

Is identity verification required at the register?

Verification requirements depend on transaction amount, location, and regulatory rules. Some deposits may require identity verification prior to or during the transaction.

Debit and credit cards

Which cards are supported?

Supported cards depend on issuing bank policies, card networks, and fraud controls. Some cards may not permit cryptocurrency transactions.

Why are card limits different from cash deposits?

Card transactions are subject to additional network rules, chargeback risk, and partner requirements. As a result, limits may differ from cash-based methods.

Why was my card transaction declined?

Card declines are typically issued by the card issuer, not Crypto Dispensers. Common reasons include insufficient funds, bank restrictions, or fraud controls.

ACH bank transfers

How long do ACH transfers take?

ACH transfers typically take multiple business days to complete. Processing times may vary based on bank schedules and verification status.

Are ACH limits higher than other methods?

ACH transfers may support higher limits than card transactions, subject to verification level and banking partner rules.

Wire transfers

Who should use wire transfers?

Wire transfers are generally used for higher-value transactions or when faster settlement is required.

How long do wire transfers take?

Domestic wires often settle the same business day. International wires may take longer depending on banks involved.

Bitcoin ATMs

How are Bitcoin ATMs different from in-store cash deposits?

Bitcoin ATMs accept cash directly at a kiosk, while in-store cash deposits occur at staffed retail registers and fund your account balance first.

Why do ATM fees differ?

ATM pricing reflects kiosk operating costs, location fees, and liquidity sourcing. Fees are displayed before you complete a transaction.

Verification

Identity verification

Identity verification is required to comply with financial regulations and to protect users, partners, and the integrity of the platform. Verification requirements may vary based on transaction type, payment method, and activity level.

Why do I need to verify my identity?

Identity verification is required under U.S. financial regulations, including Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering rules. These requirements apply to cryptocurrency platforms that facilitate the purchase and transfer of digital assets.

Verification helps prevent fraud, misuse, and unauthorized activity, and allows Crypto Dispensers to operate with regulated banking and payment partners.

What information or documents are required?

Depending on your activity and payment method, verification may require:

  • Government-issued photo identification
  • Full legal name and date of birth
  • Residential address
  • Facial or biometric verification

Additional information may be requested if required by law or by banking partners.

Is verification mandatory to use the platform?

Certain actions, including purchasing Bitcoin, increasing limits, or using specific payment methods, require completed verification.

Without verification, access to features and transaction capabilities may be limited or unavailable.

How long does verification take?

Many verifications are completed within minutes. In some cases, manual review may be required, which can take additional time depending on complexity.

Can verification fail?

Verification may fail if information is incomplete, inaccurate, expired, or does not meet regulatory standards.

If verification fails, you may be prompted to resubmit documents or provide additional information.

What happens if I do not complete verification?

If verification is not completed, your account may be restricted from initiating transactions, accessing higher limits, or using certain payment methods.

These restrictions are required by regulation and partner policy and cannot be bypassed.

Fees and limits

Fees and transaction limits

Fees and limits exist to support regulatory compliance, risk management, and payment network requirements. All applicable fees and limits are disclosed before a transaction is confirmed.

What fees does Crypto Dispensers charge?

Fees may apply based on the payment method used, transaction size, and operational costs associated with processing the transaction.

Fees can include service fees, network or processing fees, and partner-imposed charges where applicable.

Are fees shown before I buy?

Yes. All applicable fees are displayed before you confirm a transaction.

You will always see the total amount, including fees, prior to finalizing your purchase.

Why do transaction limits exist?

Transaction limits are required for regulatory compliance, fraud prevention, and risk management.

Limits help ensure the platform operates within banking, payment network, and legal requirements.

What are daily and monthly limits?

Limits may apply on a per-transaction, daily, weekly, or monthly basis depending on the payment method and your verification status.

Your current limits are shown within your account before initiating a transaction.

Why are limits different by payment method?

Different payment methods carry different risk profiles, settlement timelines, and regulatory requirements.

As a result, limits may vary between cash deposits, cards, bank transfers, wires, and Bitcoin ATMs.

Buying and delivery

Buying Bitcoin and delivery

Bitcoin purchases involve on-chain delivery to a wallet address. Once a transaction is completed, delivery follows the rules of the Bitcoin network.

When do I receive my Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is delivered after your payment is successfully processed and the purchase is completed.

Delivery timing depends on the payment method used and blockchain confirmation conditions.

Where is my Bitcoin sent?

Bitcoin is sent to the wallet address you provide during the purchase process.

Crypto Dispensers does not automatically choose or change your destination address.

Can I change my wallet address?

You may update or select a wallet address before confirming a purchase.

Once a transaction is confirmed, the destination address cannot be changed.

What happens if I send Bitcoin to the wrong wallet?

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible.

If Bitcoin is sent to an incorrect, incompatible, or unintended wallet address, the funds cannot be recovered.

It is your responsibility to verify the accuracy of the wallet address before confirming a purchase.

Is Bitcoin delivery reversible?

No. Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed, canceled, or refunded once broadcast to the network.

This is a fundamental property of the Bitcoin protocol, not a policy decision by Crypto Dispensers.

Compliance and legal

Compliance and legal

Crypto Dispensers operates within applicable regulatory, banking, and compliance frameworks. This section explains how oversight, monitoring, and legal obligations apply to transactions on the platform.

Is Crypto Dispensers regulated?

Crypto Dispensers operates as a regulated financial technology platform and works with licensed banking, payment, and compliance partners.

Regulatory requirements vary by jurisdiction and transaction type. Services are made available only where permitted by applicable law.

Why are transactions monitored?

Transactions are monitored to comply with anti-money laundering, sanctions, fraud prevention, and financial crime regulations.

Monitoring helps protect users, banking partners, and the broader financial system.

Can transactions be reported?

Certain transactions may be reported to regulators or authorities as required by law.

Reporting obligations are determined by applicable regulations and are not optional or discretionary.

What laws apply?

Transactions are subject to U.S. federal law, state-level requirements, and applicable financial regulations.

Additional rules may apply based on location, payment method, transaction size, and user profile.

What is SOC 2 Type II?

SOC 2 Type II is an independent audit standard that evaluates how security and operational controls are designed and operated over time.

It provides assurance that systems handling data and transactions follow defined security, access, and monitoring controls.
