Buy cryptocurrencies quickly and easily

Q: Can I buy Bitcoin with a credit card?

Yes, where your issuer permits it. Be aware that many credit card companies classify cryptocurrency purchases as a cash advance, which can mean a higher interest rate with no grace period, plus a cash-advance fee from your issuer on top of the purchase fee. A debit card avoids this entirely.

Q: Why did my bank decline my Bitcoin purchase?

Most declines are the bank's policy rather than a problem with your account. Some banks block crypto merchants by default. Calling the number on the back of your card and asking them to authorize the transaction resolves it in most cases. Switching from a credit card to a debit card, or to a bank transfer, also usually works.

Q: How long does it take to receive my Bitcoin?

Card payments are approved in seconds, and your Bitcoin typically arrives within 10 to 30 minutes once the network confirms it. Bank transfers add one to three business days for the payment to clear before the Bitcoin is sent.

Q: Do I have to verify my identity?

For almost all purchases, yes. Payment providers are legally required to verify customers under anti-money-laundering rules. This applies to every regulated service, not just ours. Verification is a one-time process that usually takes under five minutes. Be skeptical of any service claiming to sell Bitcoin with no verification at all.

Q: What's the minimum I can buy?

You can buy from $30. There's no requirement to buy a whole Bitcoin. It divides into 100 million units called satoshis, so any amount works.

Q: Where does my Bitcoin go after I buy it?

Straight to the wallet address you provide. It never sits in an account we control. If you used the Bitcoin.com Wallet, it appears in your balance automatically. You can verify the transaction yourself on the blockchain using the transaction ID we give you.

Its supply is capped at 21 million coins by the rules of the network itself, so no one can issue more.

Its price is volatile and can fall as well as rise, so only buy what you can afford to lose.

Frequently asked questions

What's the cheapest way to buy Bitcoin?

Bank transfer is almost always cheapest, because card networks charge the payment provider a percentage that gets passed on. If you're buying more than a few hundred dollars and you're not in a hurry, transfer from your bank. For small or urgent purchases the convenience of a card usually outweighs the difference.
