Buy Bitcoin

Buy Bitcoin - This is how it works!

With Coinbase, it's super easy to buy Bitcoins (BTC) quickly and easily with a credit or debit card. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started.

Step-by-step guide:

  1. Start on www.coinbase.com

    First of all, click on "Get Going" in the top right-hand corner Coinbase.com.

    Then hack your data into the registration form and let go of the "create account" button.

    Once you've made an account, confirm your personal details and hop in. You may be asked to upload a scan of your ID. Once you're logged in, it's on to the next step.

  2. Make your way to your account settings

    Scroll up to the top right corner and click on your name. A drop-down menu should pop up where you can click on "Settings". Then click on "Payment methods".

    In the right-hand corner there is a button "Add payment method".

  3. Click on "Credit/debit card".

  4. Snap your credit/debit card info into it.

    Note that Coinbase currently only accepts Visa and Mastercard credit/debit cards.

  5. Check who you are

    Once you're in, head to the document verification page. Click on the type of identity document you want to upload (driving licence or government-issued ID). Upload it to your computer via mobile phone camera or file upload.

  6. Fire off some Bitcoin!

    Hit the buy stage. Type in how much Bitcoin you want to bag and click the "Bag Bitcoin now" button. Then your coins will flutter directly into your Coinbase wallet!

    If you're up for it, you can also grab the Coinbase app from the Google Play Store or Apple Store and follow the same steps.
