Bitcoin buying guide

Do not generate or use Bitcoin POP or CDReload cash-loading barcodes. If you have an unused barcode, pending deposit, or earlier transaction, keep your records and contact official support. Current online purchase routes include wire transfer, debit card, credit card, and ACH, subject to eligibility.
A kiosk follows its operator’s payment, verification, purchase, and delivery process. Identify the operator and official support channel before inserting cash. Review the complete quote and receiving destination on the machine; a familiar location or logo does not verify a caller’s instructions.
Work directly with our wire team. Wait for the verified bank instructions for your purchase before sending money.
Review the card’s eligibility, the complete quote, and the purchase status. Contact support before retrying a charged or pending payment.
Check whether your issuer permits crypto purchases and whether cash-advance fees or interest apply. A provider quote may exclude issuer charges.
Use an eligible U.S. bank account and review payment settlement, holds, purchase conditions, and delivery timing before confirming.
Keep the receipt, order reference, amount, timestamp, and receiving address. Check whether the first attempt failed, remains pending, or completed. Contact the responsible provider before making another payment; repeated attempts can create separate orders.
A receipt records a payment or register event. An order ID identifies a provider’s order. A Bitcoin transaction ID identifies a broadcast network transaction. Use the reference that matches the stage you are checking.
Compare total dollars paid with net BTC delivered, including separate payment, issuer, and network charges. Check the quote’s expiry and avoid counting a fee twice if it is already reflected in the displayed amount.
Hypothetical example: $1,000 for 0.0095 BTC is approximately $105,263 per BTC; $1,000 for 0.0098 BTC is approximately $102,041 per BTC. These invented figures illustrate the calculation and are not provider quotes or Bitcoin price forecasts.
Choose from the methods available to your account and location. Compare the complete cost, payment requirements, expected timing, and Bitcoin destination for your specific purchase.
No. In-store cash deposits have ended. Do not use Bitcoin POP or CDReload barcodes. Contact official support about a pending deposit, unused barcode, or past transaction.
Your payment, identity checks, purchase, and wallet transfer happen in separate steps. Check your order for the expected timing. Wire purchases usually process within 1–2 days, though compliance reviews can take longer.
Verify the provider, payment instructions, full cost, asset, receiving network, and complete wallet address. Stop if someone is pressuring you, coaching your answers, or directing you to send Bitcoin to their wallet.
Check the payment options and final price in your account. Confirm where your Bitcoin will go. If you have a question, ask us before paying.
Not sure how to pay? Compare wire, ACH, debit card, and credit card purchases. Each has different costs and timing. Ask our team if you need help choosing.
