You’ll need to create an account, complete identity verification and provide a Bitcoin wallet address. Your account may also require proof of residence and additional review before you can fund a purchase.

1Bitcoin supports Canadian-dollar funding by e-Transfer and bank wire. Follow the instructions in your approved account. Funding limits, review requirements and processing times can vary.

Can I speak to someone first?
