Bank wire preparation
Check your bank’s outgoing-wire service before you send money. This guide shows where to find official instructions, what to ask and how the bank payment connects to your Bitcoin purchase.

You may be able to use an online bank if your account supports outgoing domestic wires, the bank permits the payment and you meet our account requirements. A banking app that offers transfers does not necessarily offer the wire service you need. Start with those checks before arranging a purchase.
For a Crypto Dispensers purchase, review our Bitcoin wire-transfer service and start a request before sending money. We issue instructions for your purchase after the required steps. Joint and business accounts are accepted after required verification. Tell our team which account you intend to use.
Complete the required account and funding checks. Get the instructions issued for this purchase.
Use its domestic wire service, match every instruction and keep the receipt.
After funds arrive and required reviews finish, review the quote, costs and Bitcoin amount.
Verify your receiving address before approval, then follow the transaction and wallet status.
Sending the bank wire does not lock your Bitcoin price. You approve the final price after your funds arrive. Keep the bank receipt and purchase confirmation as separate records.
These examples show where two online banks describe wire requests. They are not a list of banks that approve cryptocurrency payments. Confirm your recipient, purpose and account eligibility directly with your bank.
| Bank | Where its official instructions direct you | Check before sending |
|---|---|---|
| Ally | Its online wire form or the app’s Menu → Wire Money under Transfer and Pay. | Ally lists a $20 outgoing domestic-wire fee. New-account restrictions and verification can apply. Recheck the current terms. |
| Discover | Account Center: Transfer → Wire Transfer. Its app also provides wire-transfer instructions through Transfer. | Confirm the current fee, account availability, limits and review requirements in your account. |

Reviewed October 15, 2026. These institutions are independent of Crypto Dispensers. We do not control their payment decisions. If you use another online bank or a financial app, ask the institution holding your account which outgoing wire service is available; do not assume its partner-bank details are sending instructions.
Ask: “Can this account send a domestic wire to the beneficiary shown on my purchase instructions, for a Bitcoin purchase?” Confirm the service, purpose, fee and limits. An ACH transfer, bill payment or transfer between your own accounts is a different instruction.
Complete our required verification, obtain your current wire instructions and compare every field in your bank’s wire form. Ask our team about any mismatch before submitting.
Do not substitute ACH into wire instructions or send from someone else’s account. Ask our team about an eligible funding account or the separate ACH purchase option. If money must first move between your own accounts, allow it to clear and keep the funding records.
See the illustrated wire-instruction guide for a field-by-field explanation. Only use the actual instructions issued for your request.
Your bank’s outgoing-wire charge is separate from the purchase costs. Check whether it requires the fee in addition to the amount you send, and whether your available balance covers both. Confirm daily limits, any restrictions on a new account, the cutoff time and its time zone.
Our current wire service fee is 8% below $100,000 and 5% at $100,000 or more, deducted from the whole wire amount. Review any additional charges and the final BTC amount in your quote. Our service has no minimum or maximum wire purchase amount; your bank’s limits and required reviews still apply.
Wire purchases usually process within 1–2 days. Bank schedules, verification and compliance reviews can extend the timing. A bank’s same-day wire estimate is not a promise of same-day Bitcoin delivery. Use our wire fee calculator and purchase-timing guide to plan the separate steps.
Your selections stay on this page and reset when it reloads. Do not enter bank details here.
Save the amount, date and bank reference. Your bank’s “sent” status does not prove that our receiving account has credited the wire. If you need an update, contact our team with your request reference before sending another payment.
Once the funds and required checks are complete, review the final price and wallet details. After Bitcoin is sent, a transaction identifier and your receiving wallet help you follow its confirmation status.
