Bitcoin ATM Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

What is a Bitcoin ATM and how does it work?

A Bitcoin ATM is a physical kiosk that allows users to buy Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies using cash. The process typically involves entering your wallet address or scanning a QR code, inserting cash, and confirming the transaction. The purchased Bitcoin is sent to your wallet after the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain.

What do I need to use a Bitcoin ATM?

To use a Bitcoin ATM, you need a cryptocurrency wallet (a mobile app or paper wallet that stores your Bitcoin) to receive the funds. You will also need cash to purchase at an ATM, or a debit card to make the purchase online. Additionally, depending on the transaction amount and local regulations, you might be required to provide identification for security and compliance purposes.

Can I buy cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin at your ATMs?

Yes; at a Cash2Bitcoin ATM, you can purchase Ethereum or Litecoin, in addition to Bitcoin. Each ATM will display the available cryptocurrencies for purchase, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your needs.

Is there a minimum or maximum amount I can purchase at a Bitcoin ATM?

Yes, at Cash2Bitcoin ATMs, the minimum purchase amount is $10, and the maximum limit is $25,000 per transaction. These limits are designed to accommodate both smaller, everyday transactions and larger purchases, while complying with regulatory requirements.

Are your Bitcoin ATMs compliant with regulations?

We are a registered Money Services Business with FinCEN and NMLS, ensuring that all transactions meet the highest standards of security and legal requirements. Our priority is to maintain transparency, security, and customer protection throughout every transaction, adhering to all regulatory guidelines to safeguard our customers’ information and assets.

What is a blockchain, and how is it related to Bitcoin?

The blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that records all Bitcoin transactions across a network of computers. It ensures that every Bitcoin transaction is verified and cannot be altered, creating trust without the need for a central authority. Each transaction on a Bitcoin ATM, after confirmation, is recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain, which guarantees the integrity of the transaction.

Transaction Process

How long does a Bitcoin ATM transaction take?

The time it takes for your Bitcoin transaction to be processed can vary depending on network congestion. In most cases, transactions are confirmed within a few minutes. However, during periods of high network traffic, it may take longer to receive confirmation. Typically, you can expect your transaction to process quickly, but occasional delays are possible when the Bitcoin network is particularly busy.

What fees are associated with using a Bitcoin ATM?

The fees for using Cash2Bitcoin ATMs can vary depending on the machine and location. However, our rates are competitive within the industry, ensuring a fair transaction cost.

Can I sell Bitcoin at your ATMs?

What happens if I make a mistake during a Bitcoin ATM transaction?

If you make a mistake during a Bitcoin ATM transaction, such as entering the wrong Bitcoin address, the transaction is irreversible once completed. Unfortunately, this means that you may lose your funds if they are sent to an incorrect address. To avoid this, it’s essential to double-check all details, especially the wallet address, before finalizing the transaction.

Can I send Bitcoin to someone else through your ATMs?

No, Cash2Bitcoin ATMs are intended for personal purchases of cryptocurrency only. By agreeing to the terms and conditions during a transaction, you confirm that the ATM is for your personal use and that you are the rightful owner of the wallet address provided. The ATMs are not designed for sending Bitcoin to third parties or other purposes beyond personal cryptocurrency purchases.

Why do I need to provide ID for larger transactions?

ID verification is required for all transactions at Cash2Bitcoin ATMs to ensure compliance with legal requirements, enhance security, and prevent fraudulent activity. By verifying your identity, we can confirm that the person making the purchase is authorized and meets the necessary legal guidelines. This process helps maintain the integrity of our services and ensures that all transactions are safe and properly recorded.
