Before creating your first order, we need to know a bit about you. As a financial service, Coinmama is committed to the highest security and privacy standards. This also helps us keep your account safe, fight fraud, and more. The process is called verification and is something everyone must go through before buying cryptocurrency anywhere. After submitting your details for verification, we’ll then quickly go over it and make sure everything looks good. This usually happens within the hour.
Since there is no central bank controlling the bitcoin rate, each website has its own bitcoin rate. The price you see on our website is Coinmama’s bitcoin rate and includes our fee of 5.90%. If you want to see the average market rate, we recommend TradeBlock’s XBX Index.
For credit/debit card transactions, the payment processor charges 5.00% additional fee. Unlike credi/debit card transactions, if you pay by bank wire there is 0.00% processing fee. The card processing fee will be added after choosing your method of payment.
Apart from our fees, your bank may incur their own. If you’re not sure, contact them before placing your order.
If your payment hasn’t been approved yet, the charge you see on your account is probably only an authorization check created immediately after a payment attempt is made. This is necessary to "save" the transaction amount in case the payment is approved. If the payment is declined, the charge will automatically void within 48 hours, depending on your bank’s policy.
We accept all currencies meaning you can pay with your local currency. However, the pricing will be displayed in USD or EUR with more currencies to be added soon.
No. Coinmama sells cryptocurrencies out of its personal inventory. The transaction will always be between you and Coinmama.
