What is a Bitcoin ATM?
A Bitcoin ATM (Automated Teller Machine) is a kiosk that allows people to buy and sometimes sell Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies using cash, credit, or debit cards. It operates similarly to a traditional ATM, but instead of depositing or withdrawing cash, it allows users to either purchase Bitcoin which can be sent to a Bitcoin wallet such as the Bitcoin.com Wallet app or, in the case of some Bitcoin ATMs, sell Bitcoin to dispense cash.
Bitcoin ATMs are connected to the Internet, allowing people to connect directly with a Bitcoin exchange for a localized and convenient way to purchase Bitcoin in person. Common locations for Bitcoin ATMs are inside of a retail store, shop, tavern, restaurant, mall or airport
Bitcoin ATM Providers
Bitcoin ATM providers are companies that manufacture, deploy, and sometimes operate Bitcoin ATMs. These companies are responsible for the hardware and software that powers the machines, ensuring that they are secure, user-friendly, and compliant with local regulations. Some providers only focus on the production of the machines, while others might offer a comprehensive service package that includes deployment, maintenance, and regulatory compliance.
