Other Ways to Buy Bitcoin

Lets US users buy bitcoin directly from an existing PayPal balance or linked card with no new account. Spreads run high (often 1.5–2.5%) and, historically, withdrawals to an external wallet were restricted in some regions — check current withdrawal support before relying on it for self-custody.

Best for: a one-off small buy from money already sitting in PayPal.

A UK/EU-based banking app with crypto built in — convenient if you already bank there, with multi-currency support. Fees and available features (including external withdrawal) vary significantly by country and account tier, so it's a companion to, not a replacement for, a dedicated exchange.

Best for: UK/EU Revolut banking customers who want bitcoin exposure without a new app.

Not a consumer app itself — Banxa is the fiat on-ramp that powers the "buy crypto" button inside many wallets and dapps. You'll encounter it embedded elsewhere rather than visiting it directly; fees and limits depend on the host app and your local payment method.

Best for: buying bitcoin directly inside a wallet app that has Banxa built in.

A non-custodial swap/exchange service — good for converting one crypto asset into bitcoin without opening an exchange account, at the cost of a markup baked into the exchange rate rather than a transparent fee line.

Best for: swapping an altcoin into bitcoin without KYC on a new exchange.

A Canadian bitcoin-only brokerage supporting Interac e-Transfer — a straightforward CAD on-ramp for Canadian buyers who want a domestic option alongside Kraken or Coinbase.

Best for: Canadian buyers who want Interac e-Transfer funding.
