  2. Navigate to account settings
    Navigate to the top right corner and click on your name. There should be a drop-down menu where you can click "Settings". Then click "Payment Methods" on the menu at the top and you should see something that looks like this:

Click on "Add Payment Method" in the right corner.

  1. Click "Credit/Debit Card"
  1. Enter your Credit/Debit Card Information
    Note that Coinbase only accepts Visa and Mastercard credit/debit cards at this time.

    You should now be brought to a page that lets you choose how many bitcoins you want to buy. You can choose one of the set amounts-0.5, 1, 1.2, or 2 bitcoins-or scroll down a bit more to select your own amount.

The field to select your own amount looks like this:

Once you've chosen your amount click the green "Buy Bitcoins" button to advance.

  1. Select Credit/Debit Card as payment method

You NEED a Bitcoin wallet for the next step.

If you don't have a wallet yet register at https://blockchain.info/wallet/#/signup for a Bitcoin wallet.

  1. Enter your Bitcoin Wallet Address
    This is the address where the bitcoins you're buying will be delivered to once your payment is confirmed. Paste your address into the empty field.
  1. Enter your Billing Information and Address

  2. Enter your Credit or Debit Card Information

  3. Verify Your Phone Number and Email
    You'll receive a 4-digit SMS pin and an email confirmation. Once you've confirmed these forms of contact, you should see this:

  4. Upload ID Verification
    Most people will not need to upload a selfie. Just skip step 8 if CoinMama does not request this from you.

Upload a selfie with you holding your credit card towards the camera. Make sure your name, expiration date, and the first four and last four numbers on the card are visible.

  1. Wait for Verification
    CoinMama needs to verify that your credit card payment went through successfully.

Long process, yes!

But that's it. Wait 20-30 minutes for the bitcoins to arrive in the address you provided in step four.

Bitpanda Tutorial (Credit Card/Debit Card)
This section will show you how to buy using BitPanda.

Open an Account on BitPanda
Once you create your account and verify your email address, you can begin following the steps below:

Login to Your Account
Login to your account and click "Buy" in the top menu bar. You will now see a page like below. Select "Visa/Mastercard" since you want to buy with your credit or debit card. Also, enter the amount of euro you want to spend or amount of BTC you want to buy:

Now confirm that you want to buy with credit/debit. (Note that only 3d-Secure Mastercard and Verfied by Visa cards are allowed. If you don't have one of these try CoinMama or Coinbase).

Now you need to confirm that the amount you entered before is indeed the amount you want to buy. Also, you confirm that you agree to BitPanda's exchange rate. In the "the Current Price" field you can also see the exchange rate you are getting. It will likely be 3-4% above the market rate since BitPanda's fees are included in the exchange rate.
