How Do I Fund Coinbase With a Credit Card?

If you’re like most people, you probably use a credit card to fund your Coinbase account. After all, it’s the easiest and most convenient way to do it. But did you know that there are some things you need to know before you use your credit card to fund your Coinbase account?

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. You’ll be charged a cash advance fee.

When you use a credit card to fund your Coinbase account, the credit card company will charge you a cash advance fee. This fee is typically around 3% of the total amount you’re trying to fund.

So if you’re trying to fund $100 worth of Bitcoin, you’ll be charged a $3 cash advance fee.

2. You’ll be charged interest on the cash advance.

In addition to the cash advance fee, you’ll also be charged interest on the amount of money you’re funding with your credit card. This interest will start accruing immediately and will continue to accrue until you pay off the full amount of the cash advance.

NOTE: WARNING: Using a credit card to fund Coinbase carries certain risks and may result in high interest charges if you fail to pay off your balance in full each month. Additionally, your credit card issuer may charge additional fees for using your card to purchase cryptocurrency on Coinbase. You should always contact your credit card issuer prior to making any purchases with Coinbase and be aware of the potential risks associated with using a credit card for such purchases.

3. Your credit card company may limit how much you can spend.

Depending on your credit card company, there may be limits on how much money you can charge to your card in a single day or month. If you try to fund more than this limit, your credit card company may decline the transaction or charge you an additional fee.

4. You may need to verify your identity with Coinbase.

Coinbase has strict anti-money laundering policies in place and they may require you to verify your identity before they allow you to use a credit card to fund your account. This usually involves providing some form of government-issued ID, like a driver’s license or passport.

5. There may be other fees involved.

In addition to the cash advance fee and the interest charges, there may also be other fees involved depending on your credit card company and how they process transactions with Coinbase. These fees can include things like foreign transaction fees or currency conversion fees.
