Buying Bitcoin in NY (for family accounts)

Family accounts are unable to use bitcoin features if they or their sponsor are New York residents. We’re working to make this feature available to users in this state.

Bitcoin Buying Limits

Family accounts have a limit of buying up to $100 in bitcoin per week. Buy limits include the combined activity across bitcoin purchases, bitcoin gifting, and Round Ups.

For example: If a customer under 18 buys $75 in bitcoin, gifts of $20 in bitcoin, and rounds up $5 in bitcoin within a week (7 day span), they will have reached their buy limit for bitcoin.

  2. Tap on the Bitcoin tile
  3. Select an amount or tap … to enter an amount
  4. Enter your PIN or Touch ID and tap Confirm

To close an account, the sponsor will need to contact support.
