Step 1 - Get a Bitcoin Wallet

Step 2 - Find the Nearest ATM
- Find the closest ATM near you.
- All you need is your wallet address QR code and cash.
Step 3 - Scan Bitcoin QR Code
- Tap the machine's touchscreen, then read the on-screen prompt.
- Select cryptocurrency: Bitcoin
- In your wallet, find your address' QR code
- Hold it up to the machine's camera; the machine will scan it.
This tells the machine where to send your Bitcoin once you've confirmed your purchase.

Step 4 - Purchasing Your Bitcoins
- After scanning the QR code, insert your CAD bills.
- Confirm the amount on the screen to complete your purchase.
Please note that there will be a service fee, which varies based on the Bitcoin market.

Step 5 - Receiving Your Bitcoins
Once you've confirmed your purchase, your bitcoins will be sent to the address you provided*.
Transactions are usually instantaneous, but may take anywhere between 10–30 minutes, or even 1–2 hours in rare cases**.
Transactions at our ATMs are 100% anonymous.
* If you are going to send funds to another person, we recommended sending it to your own wallet first—especially if you do not know them personally.
** It is recommended that you wait for at least one confirmation on the Blockchain before spending or sending your purchased funds.
