This is your first purchase on Coinhouse and you don't know how to do it?  It's simple! Just click on "Buy" and choose between these three payment methods: 

Buy by credit card 
To do this, just select "credit card" as your payment method.

Once your card details (Mastercard or VISA) are entered on your Coinhouse interface, you will need to confirm your purchase via a two-factor authentication  (SMS code or validation from your mobile app) provided by your bank (as for purchases on major online stores).

Our payment provider (one of the main global players) handles the transaction and security.

You can then choose either a one-time purchase or set up a recurring purchase by direct debit from your card: How to set up Recurring Purchase by credit card (DCA).

Given the market volatility, the purchase price fluctuates constantly, Coinhouse guarantees you an exchange rate for 5 minutes to confirm your purchase.

Once the purchase is confirmed and validated from your banking app, you will receive an email summarizing the purchase with an invoice.

The funds will be visible in your Coinhouse Crypto Account. If the purchase by credit card could not be completed, you will not be charged and Coinhouse will inform you of the issue, inviting you to retry or contact us.
