How to Use a Bitcoin ATM

An initial note:

Bitcoin ATMs almost always make you buy bitcoins with cash. Credit card and debit card are not accepted.

So the first step to buying bitcoins from a Bitcoin ATM machine is to determine the amount you want to buy, and prepare the cash to bring to the ATM.

Once that's done, the process is fairly easy:

1. Find a Bitcoin ATM (our ATM map can help you)
2. Travel to the Bitcoin ATM
3. Deposit cash into the machine
4. Get your bitcoins

This is just a demo video, but it shows you just how fast the process of buying from a Bitcoin ATM is:

Today, many ATMs make you pass extra verification so things won't be as fast as the video above.

Is it Safe to Send Money?

If someone you don't know asked you to send them money through a Bitcoin ATM teller machine, it's likely a scam.

Google is filled with stories of people losing money in ATM scams⁽³⁾.

When finding an ATM machine to use, always try to find one in a public area like a mall or gas station. This will make the process more secure for you.
