To buy bitcoin by SEPA transfer :

  1. Tap the Home tab on your Bitstack home screen

  2. Tap Buy

  3. Enter the desired amount

  4. Select the Bank Transfer payment method

  5. Tap Continue and then Buy

  6. Copy our IBAN

  7. Copy your personal reference starting with an "A" ⚠️

  8. From your bank, initiate the transfer by pasting this reference in the "label" field ✅

From your bank, initiate the transfer and paste this reference in the “reference” or “description” field
This reference is essential to ensure your Bitstack account is credited directly.

What is the purpose of the personal reference to be included in the transfer?

The reference beginning with an "A" allows us to credit the transfer immediately on receipt. If you forget, simply contact the support team for manual allocation.

How long does it take to make a purchase by SEPA transfer?

Bank transfers are credited within 1 to 3 working days, depending on the bank. Ask your bank for an instant transfer if you want to be credited in a few minutes. 😎

How is the bitcoin purchase price determined?

Once your funds are received, they will be automatically converted into Bitcoin at the exchange rate at the time the transfer is received.
The Bitcoin price applied to your purchase will be the one on the date Bitstack receives the euro funds.

Example: If you initiate the transfer from your bank on May 8, but the funds arrive on May 9, the purchase price will be the one on May 9, at the time Bitstack receives the funds.
