How long does it take to see my purchased cryptocurrencies?

After pressing “Buy Now” at the ATM, transactions are usually sent within 3 minutes. Although cryptocurrency is not visible on your wallet immediately, you can keep track of the transaction via the ID received on text.

I still can’t see my purchase?

In this case you may want to refresh the wallet application. Do not delete the application, only refresh or restart!! Usually this will fix the issue so that you can see the cryptocurrency that has been purchased. You may also want to verify the transaction on the block explorer.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital currency that allows for global peer to peer transactions without the need for third party verification.

What is a blockchain confirmation and how does it work?

When a Bitcoin purchase is made on our ATM, your transaction goes into a pool of unconfirmed transactions. Once the purchase is seen by the Bitcoin miners, it is placed into a block of transactions. The Bitcoin network then confirms the block and adds it to the blockchain. This is usually when a customer can see their purchase on their preferred digital wallet. Confirmation times can vary depending on the network congestion.
