Debit/Credit Card Payments for Bitcoin Now Extended Beyond the EU

Here at Bitstamp, we’re constantly trying to find ways to make life easier for our customers. And after last week’s announcement on increasing the threshold for bitcoin purchases made by debit/credit card to USD 5,000/EUR 5,000 daily and USD 20,000/EUR 20,000 monthly, we have even more good news for you!

With Visa and MasterCard debit and credit card purchases for bitcoin already possible throughout the EU-28, we have now expanded Bitstamp’s debit/credit card purchasing functionality to include the following countries:

Switzerland, Norway, Monaco, Montenegro, Serbia, Turkey, Andorra, Moldova, Gibraltar, Iceland, Greenland, Liechtenstein, Isle of Man, Faroe Islands, Åland Islands, San Marino, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Argentina, Brazil, Israel, South Africa, Chile, Kuwait, Cayman Islands, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, India, Lebanon, Puerto Rico, Peru, Madagascar, Mozambique, Dominican Republic, Curaçao, Dominica, Jordan, the Bahamas, Bahrain, French Polynesia, Ecuador, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Réunion, Jamaica, Paraguay, Brunei, New Caledonia, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Sint Maarten.

This means that if you are in the EU 28 or any of the countries listed above, you can now purchase bitcoin instantly using your Visa or MasterCard credit/debit card!

Only a one-time verification of your card details is required before instant bitcoin purchases on Bitstamp are yours.

To get started:
    • Go to the deposit page and choose credit card from the side menu
    • Choose the amount you would like to spend
    • Enter your card details and click ‘submit’


And then you’re good to go!
