HOW TO BUY BITCOIN WITH CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD*

In the early days of Bitcoin development, cryptocurrency was traded on specific
forums and tech-savvy platforms. But now, you can purchase bitcoin online with
fiat using multiple payment methods such as credit and debit cards, bank
transfers, or online wallets. For that, you need a crypto exchange, and CEX.IO
offers all the functionality one might require from a reliable platform. As one
of the features, CEX.IO allows you to buy BTC with a market order, or set up the
price for purchase using limit orders.

CEX.IO supports multiple payment methods for purchasing cryptocurrencies.
Whether you buy Bitcoin with a credit card or via bank transfer, CEX.IO helps
you along the way. It combines competitive fees, user-friendly navigation, and
attractive prices to provide cost-effective trading conditions for users.
Additionally, a straightforward process for making a purchase eliminates
uncertainty.

*New and existing U.K. Customers are required to pass extra steps of onboarding
as required by the FCA. Including but not limited to customer categorisation, an
appropriateness test, and a 24-hour cooling-off period.

HOW TO BUY BITCOIN AT CEX.IO: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE*

The first step is registration, where you need to enter a valid email address
and set a strong password. Don’t forget to enable two-factor authentication for
better account protection. Note that only one account per user is allowed. If
you are already registered, then just log in to your account to buy crypto.

The next step is account verification. Different verification levels open access
to various payment methods and establish new limits for deposits and
withdrawals. Identity verification is required to make any crypto purchases,
including with a credit or debit card. Users from the U.K. have to take extra
steps to complete customer categorization and appropriateness assessments.

You can find more information about payment options and verification limits on
our Limits and Commissions page.

After account verification, you will be able to buy and sell cryptocurrencies in
several ways:

* Buy Crypto service
* Spot trading
* Convert feature

The Buy Crypto service is one of the most convenient and fastest ways to buy
bitcoin among those offered by CEX.IO. It was designed to make crypto purchases
with debit and credit cards as straightforward as possible.

In order to buy bitcoin with a debit card via Buy Crypto, follow the next steps:

1. Choose bitcoin from the dropdown list of available cryptocurrencies
2. Select the fiat currency you want to use to buy crypto
3. Use one of the pre-calculated amounts, or enter your own
4. Verify a new payment card, or select the one you’ve already verified
5. Make sure that all details are correct, and confirm the purchase.

Done! You'll see bitcoin on your CEX.IO balance when the transaction is
confirmed.*

BUY BITCOIN WITH CREDIT/DEBIT CARD OR BANK TRANSFER

Bitcoin enthusiasts are always looking for the easiest ways to obtain more
coins. Among the numerous methods for buying bitcoin, making a purchase with a
credit or debit card is the most attractive. With CEX.IO, you can use any Visa
or Mastercard credit card issued in any currency. The platform will
automatically convert the currency you enter into the platform's supported
fiats.

WE ALSO ACCEPT SEVERAL PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR BANK TRANSFERS:

* SWIFT
* Faster Payments
* SEPA

Those who are looking for ways to buy small amounts of bitcoin may find the card
options more convenient. If you are likely to buy large amounts of virtual
currency, a bank transfer may be more suitable. However, bank transfers may take
a little longer than card transactions. Please note that the bank transfer
payment method is available for CEX.IO customers with an Address level of
verification and higher.

THE BEST PLACES TO BUY BITCOIN*

Regardless of whether you consider buying crypto for the short or long term,
think about a robust storage system. Using a reputable online exchange is one of
the most popular ways to buy and store crypto assets. And here are some reasons
why people choose this:

* A large list of supported cryptocurrencies;
* Access to additional crypto products like staking, and savings;
* Allows for storage of fiat and cryptocurrencies together in one wallet;
* 24/7 access to the market;
* Ability to protect your account with multi-factor authentication and renew
access if you lose a password.

The interface of centralized exchanges like CEX.IO keeps things simple and
minimalistic while incorporating a host of functionality. In addition, most
centralized exchanges follow AML/KYC policies to eliminate the risk of malicious
activity in their trading environment. It allows for building relationships with
dozens of banks across key markets and discourages unlawful transactions on the
platform. At the moment, centralized crypto exchanges are considered a common
and affordable way to buy crypto because of the high liquidity on such
platforms.

BUY BITCOIN VIA A REPUTABLE EXCHANGE*

CEX.IO was one of the first platforms to enable fiat-to-crypto transactions with
payment cards. Since our inception in 2013, we’ve chosen to adhere to industry
standards and legal regulations applicable to a cryptocurrency exchange. You can
check where we are currently registered and licensed on our Legal and security
page.

CEX.IO uses anti-DDoS protection, Level 1 PCI DSS, two-factor authentication,
and cold storage for customers funds. Also, our maintains status as a Money
Services Business in FinCEN (U.S.).

CEX.IO is not just a crypto exchange but an ecosystem of various crypto
services. The simple navigation on the website allows everyone to find what they
need quickly and easily. The platform, therefore, enables you to buy bitcoin
using multiple available payment methods.

ALTERNATE WAYS TO BUY BITCOIN

Let's take a look at some of the alternatives available today for purchasing
bitcoin.

DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGES

Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are another way to obtain crypto. The difference
from centralized ones is that decentralized exchanges are not owned by a single
entity. DEXs are protocols in the blockchain network that allow participants to
exchange various cryptocurrencies. DEXs usually use liquidity pools or order
books to provide liquidity to the markets and match users’ orders. DEXs are
considered more tech-savvy platforms than centralized exchanges. They may offer
you higher anonymity with purchases, but don’t allow you to buy crypto with
fiat.

ATM

Since their introduction, Bitcoin ATMs have become one of the major ways to buy
crypto in some countries. Such ATMs are just like regular cash machines, but
they are not tied to any specific bank. In most cases, certain trading platforms
offer ATMs as a way to attract new customers and increase the adoption of
bitcoin payments.

To buy crypto through a Bitcoin ATM, you first need to find one. You can use
numerous Bitcoin ATM maps to see where the nearest one is, or whether you have
them in your town. Then put cash or a credit card in the Bitcoin ATM to buy
crypto. After confirming a transaction, bitcoins will be transferred to your
crypto wallet or an account on one of the crypto exchanges. Some ATMs also offer
to purchase Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), and other cryptocurrencies, depending
on ATM providers.

When you buy crypto with a Bitcoin ATM, you see the price of purchase, but
usually don’t see a price chart to help ensure it’s a good moment to buy
bitcoin. ATMs don’t offer to sell crypto, while you can do it online 24/7.
Besides, transaction fees and location rents are usually included in the price,
making it less cost-efficient to use compared to buying bitcoin online.

P2P

Peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms facilitate direct transactions between buyers and
sellers. Let’s say there is a person who has 1 BTC and wants to exchange it for
fiat. They may place an order on a P2P platform offering to sell bitcoin for
fiat currency. So it’s like a customer-to-customer (C2C) online marketplace, but
people sell crypto instead of goods and services. Bitcoin transactions are
irreversible, so you need to make sure that you receive cash after sending
bitcoin and vice versa. In this case, the P2P platform acts as an arbiter
between buyers and sellers to prevent scams and false orders.
