The Unbank Guidebook Part 1

How to buy Bitcoin (crypto) with cash [in person]

We remember when days used to be dark. Phones would flip to open, texts would cost money, and it seemed like cryptocurrency was a pipe-dream only available to those that know how to code. Luckily, for you, Unbank is here today, and we’re bringing the sunshine. No more days of overages on your cellular data, no more keeping both hands on the steering wheel, and no more days of needing to be Mark Zuckerberg to get in on Bitcoin. Today, our cars drive themselves. Today, you can buy crypto with cash instantly at one of our Bitcoin ATM kiosks nationwide, and we’re here to learn you how.

Step 1

Locate the Kiosk If you're reading this then you're already on our website. When you click the locations tab at the top menu, it will bring you to a locations map. Input your city or state and search for the location nearest to you. Once you have found which one you want to use, gather your cash, your keys, crypto wallet QR, and your ID/SS card.

Step 2

Visit location There are plenty of viable options here. Most of us that were lucky to be born with two feet can walk just about anywhere, and if you’re on a really tight budget, this would probably be the best and most cost-effective option. However, if you’re lucky to have both feet and a little bit more means, you can take a bus, an Uber, ride a bike, or drive to the location of your choice.

Step 3

Approach the machine I know that right now you're having flashes of the movie The Terminator playing in your head depicting the machines taking over, total annihilation and devastation, laser beams shooting over your head as your run in the opposite direction… But dab the sweat beading on your forehead, try to control your breathing, and conquer your fears, you little rebel. This machine is really here to help you and is really sweet when you get to know it. Machine give you twentieessssss. We love machine.

Step 4

Initiate contact All of our Bitcoin ATM kiosks are conveniently touchscreen. Simply touch the screen to begin buying your crypto with cash. It's only the best for you, schnookums. Give it a boop.

Step 5

Select Cryptocurrency Once you have made the initial contact with our beloved machine, a screen will appear listing the different cryptocurrencies which you can purchase. These will include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tether, and Dogecoin, with new ones being looked at every day.

Step 6

Select the buy option Once you have selected which cryptocurrency you are going to purchase, a screen will appear asking whether you want to buy, redeem code, or to go back to the previous screen. Select the buy option.

Step 7

Accept the terms Once you choose to buy, another screen will appear detailing terms and conditions. Go ahead and read through it and click accept to move on to the next step.

Step 8

Select OK for Scam Notification For your protection, we have issued screens to warn of scams. Make sure the wallet you use is yours and only yours. No, Microsoft does not accept bitcoin as payment, nor will your bank tell you to buy crypto to stop a transaction.

Step 9

Select Transaction Limit: >900, <900 If you are making a transaction of greater than $900, you may need to further verify your identity. At Unbank, we comply with all national KYC regulations. If it is less than $900, then you don’t need to do anything further.

Step 10

Agree to Privacy Notice Our privacy notice is for letting our customer know the reasons why we require SSN and other information used to verify your identity and what we intend on doing with that information.

Step 11

Opt In/Out SMS Choose to opt in or opt out of SMS messages for us to be able to send you a one-time password. Let’s be honest, though… You know you want us to text you.

Step 12

Enter Phone Number to Receive One Time Password Please enter the phone number you would like to receive your password. Messages usually take between 1-2 minutes to arrive, but usually arrive quicker.

Step 13

Enter Code Once your password message is received, enter the password in the kiosk. The password is usually 5 digits long. If you have any trouble, feel free to contact our Support Team.

Step 14

Scan Crypto Wallet Once your password is accepted, the screen will prompt you to scan the QR code to your crypto wallet. Just put the screen of your phone up to the small square window to allow it to scan the code.

Step 15

Enter Cash and Discount Code This is the screen where the magic happens. Feed your twenties into the kiosk and if you use the discount code BLOG, you will receive 15% off your transaction fees.

Step 16

Double Check Information Make sure everything looks correct to you before you proceed. I know your fingers are shaky, but we’re almost there. You got this.

Step 17

Hit Buy The time has come. The moment of truth. All you have to do is press buy, and you’ll have cryptocurrency IN YOUR WALLET. This is what all the hype was about, everything you stayed up late nights staring at the ceiling to figure out, the foundation for all your future plans and aspirations. Do some hand calisthenics, stretch those digits, raise that index finger, and start the mile-long inch between you and your financial freedom.

Congratulations!

The horizon seems a little less bleak, the gravity a little lighter, and your pockets a little healthier. Enjoy the rest of your evening and remember Unbank is always here for you along the way.
