Bitcoin ATM — To buy bitcoin from your local Bitcoin ATM, just locate one on the Bitcoin ATM Map.

Be sure to check the hours of operation and contact the operator to ensure the machine has some bitcoin in it. Bitcoin ATMs are popular and known to run out of coins. Bitcoin ATMs come in two basic varieties:

  • Two Way ATM’s which allow you to buy and sell Bitcoin, but usually require an ID and self portrait.
  • One-Way ATM’s which only allow you to buy Bitcoin, but do not require identity documents.Just so long as there’s a bitcoin ATM near you, buying Bitcoin from a Bitcoin ATM is probably the simplest way to buy bitcoin without a bank account.
