Buy crypto with PayPal (available only for U.S. users) | CEX.IO Help Centre (2024)

At CEX.IO, we continue working to extend the list of supported payment methods, in order to provide our users with more convenient ways to purchase cryptocurrency. Recently, we added PayPal as a funding option.

Currently, the PayPal funding method is available only for U.S. residents. Eligible customers can use it for crypto purchases via the Buy option in the CEX.IO App, and the Instant Buy service on the CEX.IO Exchange.

Keep in mind that you need to complete the identity verification on CEX.IO to initiate a transaction via PayPal. More details can be found on our Limits and Commissions page.

Important:

  • You need to link your PayPal account to CEX.IO Wallet before purchasing crypto. Only one account can be linked at a time. If you need to unlink your current account, please contact our support team via the live chat button at the bottom right.

How to link a PayPal account

You can link your PayPal account using both the CEX.IO App and/or the CEX.IO Wallet page.

If you use the CEX.IO App, proceed with the following steps:

  1. Tap the profile icon in the top right corner of your screen to find the Payment methods menu.

  2. Tap on PayPal and proceed with account linking.

  3. Allow CEX.IO Wallet to share the information, and tap Continue.

  4. Log in to your PayPal account to complete the account linking.

If you want to use a web experience to link your PayPal account using the web version of CEX.IO Wallet, then:

What if my transaction is declined?

In the case of an unsuccessful transaction, please:

  • Make sure the amount you entered is within the limits;

  • Check the balance on your PayPal account to make sure you have a sufficient amount of funds for the transaction;

  • Confirm the balance on the card involved in payment processing via PayPal if you used it for the transaction;

  • Initiate the transaction again with a different source linked to your PayPal account, if necessary. For example, a mobile application if you used the web version, or vice versa.

If you still experience issues with purchasing crypto on CEX.IO using PayPal, then try another payment method available for your country, or contact the support team via live chat for clarification.
