How it works

Deposit cash for Bitcoin in a clear step-by-step flow.

Start in your Crypto Dispensers account, load cash at a participating retail register, wait for funds to appear, then complete your Bitcoin purchase and send it to your wallet.

Step 01

Create or sign in to your account

Your Crypto Dispensers account connects the barcode, cash load, available balance, Bitcoin purchase, and wallet destination.

Step 02

Generate your cash-loading barcode

The barcode is for the retail cash-loading step only. It is not your Bitcoin wallet address or a crypto QR code.

Step 03

Load cash at checkout

Show the barcode to the cashier, provide the cash amount, complete the retail cash-loading transaction, and keep your receipt.

Step 04

Wait for funds to become available

Funds are typically available within 15 minutes after the retail transaction is completed, subject to limits, verification, and processing.

Step 05

Buy Bitcoin and confirm your wallet

Once funds are available, complete the Bitcoin purchase inside Crypto Dispensers and carefully confirm the wallet address before submitting.

Why this route

Deposit cash for Bitcoin without starting on an exchange.

The cash route gives customers a clearer way to begin: add cash to a Crypto Dispensers account at a participating retail register, wait for funds to become available, then complete eligible Bitcoin activity separately inside the account.

01

Designed for cash-first funding

Deposit cash for Bitcoin by starting with an account barcode and a participating retail checkout location instead of a bank transfer or trading interface.

02

Cleaner than exchange screens

The process separates the cash-loading step from crypto activity, making the account funding experience easier to understand before any Bitcoin purchase happens.

03

Wallet delivery stays separate

After funds are available and required account steps are complete, eligible Bitcoin activity can happen separately through Crypto Dispensers.

Exchange-style path More screens. More steps. More friction.
Connect a bank account
Navigate trading tools
Manage exchange balances
Withdraw Bitcoin later

Exchanges are often designed for trading. That can be useful for experienced users, but it can feel unnecessary when the goal is simply to fund an account with cash and make an eligible Bitcoin purchase afterward.
