The most popular payment methods to buy Bitcoin in 2019

[Vertex_ICO]

There used to be a time when buying Bitcoin was one of the most complicated processes on the internet. Then, you had to know the seller directly, or know an in-between who can carry out the trade with cash or pay to a bank account. The process used to be very manual and cumbersome. Despite all that, people still made efforts to acquire Bitcoin. Today, platforms like Vertex.Market have simplified the process by providing several automated options for users to buy Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Listed below are the most popular payment methods to buy Bitcoin in 2019.

Vertex has created a simplified process whereby Sellers can sell Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, accepting payment only through their preferred payment method. Likewise, Buyers can choose offers based on their preferred payment method. Therefore, the list below which shows the most popular payment methods to buy Bitcoin in 2019 includes the offers that are well represented on Vertex.

Paypal

PayPal is one of the most popular online payment systems. It is well adapted to suit online merchants and can be connected to users’ credit/debit cards. Paypal is widely used, but is restricted in some countries around the world.

Alipay

This is an electronic wallet that enables fiat payments. It is also well adapted with online merchants. Most users of Alipay simply use the app on their devices to scan QR codes when making payments. Same applies when using it to buy Bitcoin.

Wechat Pay

This is a popular kind of electronic payment system in China. Wechat Pay has an eWallet similar to Alipay, only that this one is connected to the Chinese bank account of the user. This makes it somehow restricted to Chinese users only, or users that are affiliated to China.

TWINT

This is a mobile payment app of Swiss origin. The TWINT app enables you to pay for products and services using your smartphone. All you need in order to buy Bitcoin using TWINT on platforms like Vertex is the ability to scan the QR Code, and a five-digit payment code. Others are your personal security settings like your password and PIN. Here is a short video of how to use TWINT:

PayTM

This is another system that made it onto our list of the most popular payment methods to buy Bitcoin in 2019. PayTM originated in India and remains a popular means of making payments over the internet in the Asian country. It is a versatile payment system that is being used in the region to settle all kinds of bills. People can now use it buy Bitcoin (on Vertex).

This is a payment method that is better known as an online transfer system. Many people use Neteller to send money across the globe. It is widely accepted in many countries and is one of the most popular methods to buy Bitcoin in 2019.

Skrill

Like Neteller, Skrill is also known as an online money transfer system. Over 20 million people are using Skrill around the world to send money. It is also adaptable as a payment system by merchants. It is common to find sellers requesting Skrill as a method of payment when selling Bitcoin.

Payoneer

Here is another electronic payment system that has grown in popularity recently. Many online transactions use Payoneer today as it is versatile and good for business. Many Vertex users advertise their sales to include their preferred payment method as Payoneer when selling Bitcoin.

WebMoney

Webmoney was founded in 1998 and has sustained its relevance as an online payment system ever since. The platform was able to achieve this due to its ability to adapt to technological changes and evolve with the trend. The payment system was founded in Russia, but is popular in almost every part of the world.

Payza

Payza was founded in 2012 in Montreal, Canada. Right now, the headquarters of Payza are in London. This payment system has spread to many parts of the world, including Africa and Asia. It has become a very popular payment method on Vertex for buying and selling Bitcoin.

Transferwise

This is one of the solutions that has encouraged borderless payment. With Transferwise, you can pay sellers in your local currency, and they get settlement in their own local currency. It is used by many people today to buy Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency.

Revolut

This is a payment method that is a little over 4 years. It seems like a purpose built system for a time like this. It is a UK fintech platform that offers banking services that extends even to cryptocurrency exchange. The platform’s mobile app supports spending and ATM withdrawals in 120 different currencies.

Yandex Money

This is another product out of Russia. It has been around since 2002, and in 2016 a survey by TNS classified it as the largest electronic payment service. Yandex money serves for both individual and merchant payment. Many people are using this payment system to buy Bitcoin.

Apple Pay Cash

This is the native money of the Apple brand. However, its use goes way beyond the Apple platform. This kind of money is stored in the user’s Apple wallet and can be used to make  payments online. People are using this payment method to buy Bitcoin.

Google Pay

This is another payment method that was developed by one of the most popular brands on the internet. Also in this case, using Google Pay extends beyond the brand’s circle. It can be used to make payments on websites or through its mobile app. Again, many people are adopting this as a payment system to buy Bitcoin.

Venmo

Venmo is a mobile payment system that can only be used by people in the US. To be able to use Venmo to buy Bitcoin, both you and the seller must be based in the US. The payment app is a product of PayPal and is responsible for huge volumes of transactions that are taking place over the internet.

Local Bank Transfer

This is one of the most traditional systems for making transactions. Many Bitcoin sellers who want to be paid in fiat would use the local bank transfer system. It is a system that is popularly used on the Vertex platform.

STC Pay

This is an app that is used for transferring funds. It works in the UK and Saudi Arabia. If you want to buy Bitcoin and you are in any of these two countries mentioned above, the STC Pay could be a viable option for you.

Cryptocurrency

Using other cryptocurrencies to buy Bitcoin is one of the most popular transactions that happens across exchanges. It happens during speculative trading and also when building a portfolio. Many people also follow this route when they want to extract value from those altcoins that cannot be traded with fiat directly. They use such an altcoin to buy Bitcoin first, and then sell the Bitcoin for fiat.

I simply do not use any of the method mentioned above to buy Bitcoins.  Buying and selling Bitcoin is most easy and secure on any P2P exchange for me. Localbitcoins is the most trusted P2P exchange for me to buy and sell Bitcoins. It provides me the facility of buy on sellers price or place my own bid to buy Bitcoins and vice- versa for selling BTC. It also provides with the trust ranking of all the users there to chose from and also payment is instant. I believe P2P exchanges are the most easiest way to buy and sell BTC currently.

[crzy]

You have a good list mate but honestly, I didn’t experience to buy bitcoin on all the things you’ve mentioned. Coins.ph is very popular here in my place and maybe you can also include this platform, its great and very easy to buy bitcoin. So many ways for newbies to buy bitcoin, i hope they see those platforms.

[lightningmelo]

If you're looking for a more private way of buying/selling bitcoin, while also minimizing your chances of getting deplatformed, try some P2P exchange like hodlhodl or Bisq network.

If you buy using a credit card or really if you have any interaction with the "legacy" payment system, chances that is private are very slim.

[Lizzylove1]

I majorly use bank transfer and get to pay almost zero charges for this when dealing with peer-to-peer system of trade. The second is buying bitcoin with my altcoins. I don't use the other digital money.

If you are a fan of using LocalBitcoins, then vertex.market is defininatly an option you should be looking into. Picture using LocalBitcoins for not only Bitcoin, but 1200 additional cryptocurrencies, that is Vertex! If you dont like the fact that you have to connect on a personal level with every trader on LocalBitcoins, you will enjoy the streamline services Vertex provides, everything is handled automatically.

Coins.ph is a great suggestion. However, only as your first step into the world of cryptocurrency. For example, did you know that on vertex.market, once you have registered, you can create a sell offer for any cryptocurrency of your choosing with a custom premium or margin? You can buy Bitcoin and sell it on vertex.market for 10% profit (for example), no matter the market price volatility, vertex will automatically correct your selling price

[shield132]

Didn't know about your website until now, just got interested in it because ranking was done according to that but I would make one modification, you have to change title "the most popular payment methods to buy bitcoin in 2019", this isn't correct because statistics is according to your website. Otherwise I have never seen Yandex Money, Apple Pay and almost 90% of your listed methods to be even a little bit popular.
Also still hard to understand what you mean in popular methods because buying bitcoin with paypal is associated with some risks, logically such payment method can't be popular.

[joromz1226]

None of you mentioned are not my way to buy Bitcoin. Here in my country I only bought Bitcoin at the legit exchange in which
are listed at the coinmarketcap such as Kucoin, Okex, Idax, Digifinex and Bitforex. But We have 711 convenient stores accepting us to buy bitcoin through coins.ph

[traderethereum]

I don't use any of your lists to buy bitcoin.
When I want to buy bitcoin, I ask my friend or deposit my fiat into the local exchange, and then I will place an order buy.
That is so simple to me, and I don't have any problem so far.
But before I used localbitcoin in the past but after I found some local sellers in my city, I always contact them first to buy bitcoin.
That is the safest way for me, and I don't have to do anything, just send the money to them, they will calculate how much bitcoin we can get plus we need to pay the fee.
That will be the same if I want to use my local exchange to buy bitcoin.

This is also great to market your product, well its good that you have a good service to offer which can be use on so many ways however this is not yet popular in the Philippines to technically, that Vertex thing can't still compete with coins.ph. Anyway, the OP list is big, and you can see there some good companies like paypal and alipay who are now accepting bitcoin and a way to buy bitcoin. We need more good companies, and I hope they will adopt too.

i have never used alipay but i heard of it   . i only use paypal before but i dont see that they support bitcoins and i think they will never do that because they are both payment procesors and they are rivals  . 

 in every business there are rivals if their purpose are the same and its rare to see them collaborating  .  the op list are all familiar to me but like what i said earlier , i dont think that all of them are accepting bitcoin   .  those who accept bitcoin are not even listed on his list  .

[erikalui]

Paytm should never be used to to trade in Bitcoins. It can be easily cheated with fake ID cards and people have been hacked because of selling their BTC for Paytm cash.

Skrill and Neteller allow to deposit BTC which is a safer option rather than buying it on your website.

Better buying ETH/any other crypto selling fiat for that crypto.

[whtchocla7e]

I did not expect too many payment methods for BTC. However, I regularly use P2P trading on a number of secure, insured platforms where I live. Besides, I buy at the store of those who own BTC with a very small cost.

[CryptoBry]

Many platforms offering payment solutions are now also offering their customers the opportunity to buy Bitcoin and why not when in fact they should be viewing Bitcoin as a product and not just a disrupting platform that can displace them eventually. One thing for sure is that Bitcoin will not actually kill organizations like PayPal and the likes but will even enhance their business. While Bitcoin is supposed to be a P2P payment network, we now realized that it can actually be cumbersome when you are dealing with someone you do not meet personally and have no previous linkages with so much so that people would rather trust well-known platforms as the intermediaries in buying Bitcoin.

Now there are a huge number of ways to buy bitcoin, you can choose the way that suits you the most

Myself too use localbitcoins. This gives the perfect access, and the ease of payment. Here we can sell or buy from the trusted traders based on our own, because different traders buy and sell with different profit margins. Also it is one among the five service renders who have got everything legalized and has fulfilled each and every norms related to the business.

[Shenzou]

When it comes to buying bitcoin i really don't like to use any of the above listed payment methods or any payment method that involves directly or indirectly submitting my personal details, bitcoin for me is all about anonymity and completely keeping you safe and hidden, and using my bank account with my real details and giving them it to them so they can sell them and use them for their liking is not something i am not comfortable with, not to mention that the price is way off and the fees are very high, that is why the best for me is hand to hand p2p exchange which is by far the best and the safest way to do it with no fees.

[sunwearVN]

Thanks for share information ragarding payment method to keep confidential identity.

[kryptqnick]

I am wondering what is this information based on. PayPal, WeChat, Neteller, Skrill are no surprise, but some other services were unexpected. Not to mention that localbitcoins did not make it to the list... Like some others, I've never used any payment method from the list. If I want to buy/sell BTC, I use a local online exchange with direct transfers between bitcoin addresses and bank accounts. It requires no KYC, it's easy to use, and there's a useful website in case of my country that evaluates the exchanges based on customer reviews in real-time. As for some of the most popular payment methods according to this list, they are mainly unavailable or have limited functionality in my country anyway.
