Please help me out! I am a noob.

Q. If I purchase BTC through Visa Card in my Cex.io account, will they allow me to transfer my BTC amount in my Blockchain.info wallet?


Also let me know if thr is any-other safe place to purchase BTC from Visa Card.

Thank you for your replies.

Cex.io looks like a regular exchange to me, so yes that should be possible. Although i wouldn't recommend using Cex.io nor would  i recommend blockchain.info

I've never heard about Cex.io, but i'm sure you know they're legit. Blockchain.info had some issues with their wallets in the past, and with them you don't really control your private keys. ( neither do they. ).

Try to use Coinbase.com to buy BTC from, and use a hardware wallet like electrum to store it on.

1. Get an address from you blockchain.info wallet from the "Request" tab.
2. Find the "Send" feature in your cex.io account. Sorry, I've never used it, so I don't know details.
3. Enter the address you got from your blockchain.info wallet and the amount, and send.
4. The bitcoins will be sent to your blockchain.info wallet.

Cex.io is probably safe for buying BTC with a credit card, but no exchange or other custodial wallet service (such as cex.io or coinbase) should be considered safe for holding funds. Those types of sites have a long history of losing or stealing customer funds. Blockchain.info is different, but wallets accessed through a website have additional security risks.

Yes, it's definitely possible to buy bitcoins using a card at Cex.io and then transfer them to your own wallet.I did exactly this a week days ago. I use Electrum, not Blockchain.info, but it should not matter. Cex.io charges 0.001 BTC for withdrawal.
