Cryptocurrencies and networks available at all Bitcoin ATMs
All nine Bitcoin ATMs described here offer the same cryptocurrencies:
- Bitcoin (BTC)
- Ethereum (ETH)
- Tether (USDT)
- USD Coin (USDC)
- Litecoin (LTC)
- Tron (TRX)
- Solana (SOL)
- BNB
The available networks and standards include TRON (TRC20), Ethereum (ERC20), Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon and BNB Smart Chain (BSC). Network availability depends on the cryptocurrency you select. Not every cryptocurrency is supported on every network listed.
Before confirming, make sure the cryptocurrency and network selected on the Bitcoin ATM match your wallet. This is particularly important for USDT and USDC. Matching the cryptocurrency name alone is not enough: the receiving address must support the exact network you choose for the transaction.
What should you prepare before your visit?
Prepare your own cryptocurrency wallet and its public receiving address, preferably as a QR code. If you still need to set up a wallet, see our guide to preparing a wallet before buying Bitcoin. Never share your recovery phrase or private key when making a purchase.
Bring cash and a valid identity document. Identity verification is required for every transaction, using the document scanner on the Bitcoin ATM. Details of the procedure and how to use the machine are available on the operator’s page for the Interlaken location. The currencies accepted and dispensed are listed above for each location.
How to buy Bitcoin with cash at a Bitcoin ATM
- Find the Bitcoin ATM inside the specified business and select the option to buy Bitcoin. Follow the on-screen instructions in order.
- Complete the required identity document check and scan the QR code containing your wallet’s public receiving address.
- Check the receiving address, selected network, exchange rate, fees and the amount of BTC you will receive. The network must be compatible with your receiving address and wallet.
- Insert the banknotes as instructed by the machine and complete the transaction. Keep the receipt or other confirmation, together with the transaction ID.
- Check that the cryptocurrency has arrived in your wallet. Processing times depend on factors including order processing and the blockchain network. Do not assume that every transaction will take the same amount of time.
For full instructions, see our guide to buying Bitcoin with cash. If an error occurs, keep your transaction details and contact the operator’s customer support.
How to check the cost of your Bitcoin purchase
Do not assume there is a single fixed fee for every location and time. Before confirming, check the exchange rate, fees and final amount of Bitcoin. This lets you assess the terms of your particular transaction rather than relying on the shop’s address alone.
For help understanding these details, see our guide to Bitcoin ATM fees in Switzerland.
