Buy Bitcoin with Wirex

How to Buy Bitcoin

Your new Wirex card allows you to buy Bitcoins through bank transfers or Paypal. The simple, two-step process involves funding your Wirex wallet and then converting your local currency to Bitcoin.

Step 1 (itemized by funding option) – Funding Your Wirex Account with Local Currency (USD, GBP, EUR)

Buy Bitcoin with a Debit Card (Bank Transfer)

Funding your Wirex wallet through a bank transfer is a lot like buying Bitcoin with a debit card. This is because you fund the account with local currency, straight from your bank account.
To fund your wallet with a bank transfer, sign in to your Wirex account. Once you click on the appropriate Add Funds option for your country, you will be asked to choose your bank. Once you’ve verified the details, funding your Wirex account happen as quickly as a few minutes.
Keep in mind that while Wirex does not charge for this service, regular bank charges might apply.

PayPal – How to Buy Bitcoin with a Bank Account

Unlike Bank Transfers, you can fund your Wirex wallet through the PayPal interface.

How to Buy Bitcoin From a Bank account

If you have your local-currency bank account linked to PayPal, you can fund your PayPal account with your bank account. Keep in mind that PayPal charges up to $3 for this process, so budget for these fees accordingly. Once your PayPal account shows that your local currency has been funded (you’ll see a positive balance in your PayPal account), you can withdraw the funds to your Wirex account.

PayPal – How to Buy Bitcoin With a Credit Card

If you have an existing credit card linked to your Paypal account, you can fund your PayPal account with that credit card (remember to add up to $3 for the PayPal fees). Once your PayPal account has been funded, you can withdraw funds to your Wirex account.

Step 2 – How to Buy Bitcoin – Converting From Local Currency (USD, GBP, EUR) to Bitcoin

Conversion from your local currency to Bitcoin happens within your Wirex account. Start by logging in to your Wirex account. When you convert from local currency to Bitcoin, the balance in your Bitcoin wallet will increase while your local currency balance will decrease. Conversely, when you sell Bitcoin, the Bitcoin wallet will decrease while the local currency (USD, GBP, EUR) will increase.

Simplicity in Two Steps

Your Wirex card – your Everywhere Account – allows you to buy Bitcoin with a variety of funding options. Getting started is simple, and the account is free!

Mobile Wallets

Mobile wallets are apps that hold your credit, debit, prepaid, and loyalty card information in your smartphone. They generally offer a safer and more convenient alternative to carrying around those cards, and cash, in a physical wallet. Mobile wallets can be for general use or for use at specific retailers. Examples of current general-use mobile wallets include Apple Pay, Android Pay, and Samsung Pay — these wallets can be used at any retailer that supports them — while an example of a current specific-use mobile wallet would be the Starbucks app, where the use of the app’s wallet is limited to Starbucks stores only. Mobile wallets generally work by first having the user enter his or her card information, followed by a PIN to secure and encrypt the wallet. These wallets then interface with retailers’ point-of-sale (POS) systems by either generating unique QR codes for the POS systems to read, or by communicating over contactless technology such as NFC (near-f...
