Supported countries

Epay is available in more than 130 countries across the world. To check out supported countries, please refer to the list below. Here, you can find all the countries where CEX.IO is not able to provide deposits and withdrawals with Epay.

If your place of residence isn’t on the list of supported countries, don’t worry. CEX.IO supports other payment methods that you can use to buy crypto.

Supported payment methods

To trade BTC to USD on the CEX.IO platform, you can use a range of different payment methods. For instance, you can buy BTC with a credit card. To do so, link your Visa or Mastercard with CEX.IO. Alternatively, if you don’t own a credit card, you can buy BTC with prepaid card.

However, please be careful with prepaid cards, as they may be unreliable. Although you can technically verify your prepaid card and fund your CEX.IO account with it, many transactions are unsuccessful. This particular issue is also noticed for withdrawals. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you use your debit or credit card to deposit or withdraw funds.

Regarding e-wallets, CEX.IO supports Skrill, PayPal, and Google/Apple pay. You can also buy Bitcoin with a bank account linked with your CEX.IO account. Lastly, if you’re looking for a way to make an instant purchase of crypto with minimal effort, CEX.IO gives you the option to buy Bitcoin with a cash deposit.
