How does the Cash Payment option work?
Introduction
If you choose the Cash Payment method when buying Bitcoins or other virtual currencies, you will be able to hand over cash in over 28,000 locations in the UK and you will receive your Bitcoins within minutes of the cash being accepted. These locations are offered by PayPoint and are typically small supermarkets and corner stores. You will essentially be paying a bill, just like a gas or electricity bill, but you will instead receive Bitcoins.
ID requirements
In order to use the cash payment option, you need to have uploaded your identification documentation using the Profile page. ID is usually verified within 24 hours of upload.
