Buy Bitcoins With Credit Card
Several services will now allow you to buy bitcoins with your credit card (even though it is risky for
sellers to offer this option). But it comes with a price and some hassle – mostly connected with
verification process.
Buy bitcoins with credit/debit card at Coinbase
Coinbase is one of the best bitcoin wallets at the moment and it allows users to purchase bitcoin by
directly transferring money from a bank account – this is a standard option. The exchange also
supports secure credit and debit cards to purchasebitcoins instantly.

added to a Coinbase account. Currently 32 countries are supported, including US, Canada, European
Union countries and Singapore. If you buy more than $100 worth of bitcoin through this link, you’ll
get $10 of free bitcoin.
Buy bitcoins with credit card at Coinmama
CoinMama has a great service. Probably this is the fastest way to get your bitcoins with credit card.
Verification is fast and they have good user support too (if you are already a verified customer your
orders will be processed immediately). You can purchase up to $1000 worth of bitcoin daily or
$5000 monthly. The only problem is, that it really comes with the price. First, the exchange rate for
bitcoins is way above the daily rate on major trading platforms (about 10%), plus they will charge
you an additional 10$ flat fee, which is taken from their credit card processing provider. You will get
a 5% discount if you use the link above.

Once trading and mining platform Cex.io has now a service to buy bitcoin currency via credit and

process – but if you are planning to buy currency more often, the hassle is worth it. Once bought,
