Remember This When You Purchase Bitcoin With A Credit Card

October 2, 2019

Bitcoin price goes up and down. There are moments when it is obvious that it is a great idea to make a purchase. This is where you are quickly tempted to purchase Bitcoin with a credit card. There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying Bitcoin but you do need to know a few things before you do this. The experience can definitely be safe or not, based on what steps you take.

Buying Bitcoin With Credit Cards

It is incredibly simple to buy Bitcoin with a credit card. However, it does have some restrictions that you should be aware of. For instance, in a cryptocurrency exchange, you are surely allowed to buy with a credit card. However, this is only the case when you use specific credit cards. At the same time, there is a really good possibility that there are some fees that you have to agree with.

Do Banks Support Cryptocurrency Purchases?

Only half of the battle is finding where you can buy Bitcoin. You also have to be sure that the bank and the credit card company have no problems in verifying a cryptocurrency purchase. If this is not the case, you will end up with a purchase that is declined.

Mastercard and Visa both do allow crypto purchases. American Express does support the purchases but they are limited to $1,000 per month and $200 per day. With a Chase card, you can purchase Bitcoin but it is hard to find crypto exchanges that support this card. If you own a Discover card, you cannot buy Bitcoin at all since the company banned purchases of cryptocurrencies.

When referring to the major US banks, Capital One does not allow customers to purchase Bitcoin. Citigroup and Bank of America do but their policies might quickly change in the future.

The important thing is being aware of whether or not cryptocurrencies can actually be purchased with the credit card that you use.

When Can The Purchase Be Dangerous?

The Bitcoin market is quite volatile. You are faced with risks. It is really important to put in just the amounts that can be lost. This is especially the case in the event that credit cards are used.

As a very simple example, if you buy Bitcoin with a credit card, you end up with an amount of money that has to be paid back to the bank. If you just wait for Bitcoin value to grow in order to make this payment, you open the door to a huge potential risk. Fees quickly add up and you can simply end up with more money owned than what you initially imagined.

Final Thoughts

While it is really easy to buy Bitcoin with a credit card, you have to do so only in the event that you are 100% sure that everything will be ok. There are different complications that can appear. Stay away from them by investing only the amounts that you can afford to lose. When you do this, everything becomes simple and profitable.
