How do I deposit funds to my Bitstamp account?

You can deposit funds to your account via a Bank Transfer, or purchase cryptocurrency directly with a credit or debit card .

U.S. customers can also use ACH to deposit funds to their accounts.

Eurozone customers from selected countries can also use Instant SEPA to deposit funds to their accounts.

HOW DO I DEPOSIT VIA BANK TRANSFER?

1. Log in to your Bitstamp account.
2. Go to Deposit.
3. Choose Bank Transfer in the menu on the left.
4. Select the currency you want to deposit and the balance you would like to credit it to (if the balance differs from the deposited currency, the funds will be converted).
5. Click Deposit.
6. Our bank details and your personal message number will appear – make a transfer from your bank and make sure you write your personal message number as the transfer reference.

Please note that simply opening a deposit at Bitstamp WILL NOT transfer your funds. You need to transfer them from your bank yourself.

CAN I DEPOSIT FROM A BANK ACCOUNT THAT IS NOT HELD IN MY NAME?

• Pay attention to the name of bank "sub accounts".
• If you've recently changed your name or surname, and your bank account information has been updated, but your Bitstamp account hasn't, please update your name on your Bitstamp account. You can do that by contacting our team at support@bitstamp.net.
