Price confirmation

When Is Your Bitcoin Price Confirmed in a Wire Purchase?

Sending a bank wire moves dollars. Your Bitcoin price is confirmed later, after funds arrive and review is complete. Here is what to check at each step.

The price is approved after funds arrive.

For a Crypto Dispensers wire purchase, you review and approve the final Bitcoin price after your funds have been received, matched to the request and reviewed. Creating an account, submitting a request and sending a wire do not lock a Bitcoin price.

An early estimate helps you plan. The final quote tells you the price and Bitcoin amount available for the purchase you are being asked to approve. Check its validity and any remaining conditions in your account. If the quote changes or expires, review the new details before accepting.

This sequence describes our Bitcoin wire transfer service. Another provider may set its price at a different step. Ask when its price becomes binding and what happens if funding arrives late.

Follow the dollars, then the purchase.

  1. Estimate

    Plan the wire amount and possible costs. A market reference is not an executable quote.

  2. Wire

    After request review, send from your own bank using the verified instructions for that request.

  3. Funds received

    The incoming dollars must be matched and complete the required review.

  4. Final quote

    Check the Bitcoin price, fees, delivery amount and selected wallet.

  5. Your approval

    Accept the current terms only when you understand them. Ask about unclear amounts first.

  6. Execution and delivery

    After approval and execution, check the purchase record and Bitcoin transfer status.

A bank receipt proves a different step from a Bitcoin transaction record. Keep both. If you have a receipt but no funds-received confirmation, follow the wire-delay checklist instead of assuming the purchase has executed.

Read the complete request and verification process for the steps that come before your bank sends money.

What a price change does to the Bitcoin amount.

Suppose you send $10,000. At the current 8% service fee for wire amounts below $100,000, $800 is deducted and $9,200 remains before other applicable costs. To isolate the effect of price, the table assumes no other deductions.

Illustrative purchase priceFunds applied to BitcoinEstimated BTC
$90,000 per BTC$9,2000.10222222 BTC
$100,000 per BTC$9,2000.09200000 BTC
$110,000 per BTC$9,2000.08363636 BTC

The calculation is funds available for Bitcoin ÷ approved purchase price per BTC. At a higher price, the same dollars buy less BTC. At a lower price, they buy more. Amounts here are rounded to eight decimal places; your quote determines the delivered amount.

The bank’s outgoing fee is separate. Any additional processing or delivery deduction reduces the funds or BTC available. If a spread is already reflected in the quoted purchase price, do not subtract it again.

Try the $10,000 budget calculator to separate the wire amount from your total cash budget.

Read these five details together.

A final quote should let you connect the money you pay to the Bitcoin you expect.

Compare quotes for the same outcome and at a similar time. A low advertised fee can still produce a higher total cost if the purchase price or delivery deductions differ. Our provider comparison guide shows what to record.

Decide whether your priority is dollars or BTC.

A fixed dollar budget

Set the most you intend to spend, including separate bank charges. The BTC amount can change before final approval because the price and applicable costs can change.

A fixed BTC target

If you want exactly 1 BTC delivered, tell our team before funding. Confirm how much to send and how a shortfall or excess would be handled. Do not assume wiring today’s market price will reach the target.

Use the target-BTC estimator for an illustration. It cannot reserve a price or issue payment instructions.

If you do not want to accept a final quote, contact our team before approving. Ask about cancellation, funds-return procedures, charges and timing before you send the wire. Do not assume the banking transfer can simply be reversed.

Questions about price confirmation.

Does marking my wire as sent lock the Bitcoin price?

No. It records your action. Incoming funds still need to arrive, be matched and complete the required review before you review the final price.

Is the fee percentage the same thing as the Bitcoin price?

No. The service fee is a charge applied to the wire amount. The purchase price is the dollar price used to calculate the Bitcoin amount. Review both, plus any other applicable costs.

Can I skip the final-price step to buy faster?

Our wire process requires the applicable review and your final-price approval before execution. Support can explain the next step, but it cannot make that decision for you.

Will my purchase finish in one or two days?

Transactions usually process within 1–2 days, but compliance review can cause delays. Bank cutoffs, missing information, price approval and Bitcoin network conditions also affect the timeline. This is not a deadline or guarantee.

Check the current process before funding.
