Buying Bitcoin Shouldn’t Be So Hard

Finding the best place to buy cryptocurrency can be harder than you would expect. There are countless exchanges and products available, but they require long sign up periods, slow deposits, and high fees. Why can’t buying bitcoin be as simple as anything else you purchase online; just enter your payment information and call it a day?

Now it really is that simple.

Buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDC in seconds with your debit card. Thanks to our integration with Wyre, there is no signup, no account, and no hassle. Just choose which asset you want, enter your debit card information, and confirm your purchase — it’s that easy. Better yet, your new crypto will arrive in your wallet in a matter of seconds, no need to wait 5–7 business days and miss out on market movements.

International Support in 20+ Countries

Now with added international support, you can use your debit card to buy crypto across the world. Check out the complete list of countries here.

All users earn 100 FOX Tokens just by verifying their account, which unlocks $1,000 of free trades, every 30 days. Don’t just take our word for it, rest assured you’re getting the most competitive rate by comparing other top exchanges.

Cryptocurrency Management Made Easy

The leading exchanges offer new users a seemingly easy way to get started in blockchain tech, but they are missing one essential feature — ownership over your crypto. We created our platform to provide the tools and conveniences you need paired with the ability to control your crypto. All of our supported wallets are self-custody, meaning you control your private keys, unlike large custodial exchanges. You can trade commission free, track your portfolio performance in real-time, and now buy crypto in a sleek, intuitive platform.
