European customers can now buy digital currency on mobile using debit and credit cards

We’re excited to announce that Coinbase customers in Europe can now buy digital currency on their mobile phones using a credit or debit card.

Forty percent of debit and credit card purchases are done on mobile for our U.S. customers, and we are working diligently to make this service available in as many countries as possible. Our mission at Coinbase is to create an open financial system for the world, and enabling easy access to digital currencies like bitcoin and ethereum in as many countries as possible gets us one step closer to that goal.

To get started, visit the payment methods page on Coinbase.com or tap “Settings” and then “Payment Methods” on iOS or Android.
