What is a Crypto ATM?
Cryptocurrency ATM is a terminal that allows you to buy BTC, ETH and other cryptocurrencies using a bank card or cash. Visually, they can differ from each other, sometimes look like ATMs and sometimes installed built into a stand-alone or into the wall.
The maximum limit per transaction is 5 000 EUR. To open the door to access the cryptocurrencies machines use any payment card to purchase GIFA Token or any crypto of your choice. ATM is located in an exclusive and accessible place next to the Danube River with parking available. The manufacturer of the machine is the company Lamassu, one of the oldest producers of cryptomats and the third-largest worldwide. ''We are very happy to bring another new tool and service to our KELTA users and we hope it will be of benefit to everyone''
If you haven't followed the cryptocurrency industry closely, you will be surprised to learn that about 10,114 bitcoin ATMs have already been installed, according to CoinATMRadar. But, thanks to convenience, numbers continue to increase. To put the growth in perspective, until a year ago the number of ATMs were not more than 5,500 units.
Cryptocurrency ATMs are more popular in North America. More than 75 per cent of these machines are located in the USA and Canada, with only 2,000 in Western Europe. This is surprising because European investors and traders show great interest in buying cryptocurrency assets and many European countries have already created transparent legislation in the field of cryptocurrency regulation.
But it is worth noting that this difference will pale over time and in European countries, including Switzerland, Austria, and the UK, more and more cryptocurrency ATMs will be set up. In Central and Eastern Europe, cryptocurrency ATMs are popular in Bratislava, Budapest and Prague.
In the coming months, KELTA is looking to expand its crypto ATM network in European countries—both in Slovakia and beyond. All of them will support the withdrawal of profits from the KELTA mining platform.
How to Buy Cryptocurrency Using an ATM?
Let's consider the basic rules for using a crypto ATM on the KELTA model, which is installed in Bratislava. First, install the BRD, Mycelium, Jaxx Liberty or Edge blockchain wallet on your smartphone. Decide which of the available assets you are going to buy / sell. Remember that most ATMs only offer the purchase of BTC, unlike KELTA, which allows you to buy and sell BTC, ETH, ZEC and LTC.
The maximum transaction amount must not exceed EUR 5,000. Then, open the QR code of the required cryptocurrency on your mobile wallet and scan it with the scanner on your device. After that insert the card into the terminal and print a receipt to complete the operation and receive the purchased coins to the wallet. Moreover, even if you don't have a cryptocurrency wallet, you can still buy BTC from a cryptocurrency ATM. Many of them can create a new wallet for you and print a receipt with a public and private key.
Advantages of KELTA ATMs
There are enough ways to buy cryptocurrencies in the market, but many of them have ample disadvantages:
- -You can buy: This not an exchange but a machine suitable for everyone want to deposit, buy, withdraw and receive money with cryptocurrency ATMs.
- -Lack of anonymity: Many crypto exchanges require their clients to go through the KYC procedure, as a result of which the client will have to disclose personal data and send photos of documents to a third party. Buying or selling coins or tokens at a cryptocurrency ATM is completely private.
- -High commissions: Coinbase charges 3.99 per cent on payment card transactions and on some online platforms, the commission is 5 per cent or higher. In contrast, the KELTA crypto ATM charges only 2.1 per cent.
In addition to all of the above, one should not forget about the main advantage of crypto ATMs — their convenience. “Location is everything. A crypto ATM should be installed where a lot of potential investors pass. We chose the River Park multifunctional complex in Bratislava – it includes shops, restaurants, a 5-star hotel, and luxury apartments.
Cryptocurrency ATMs save the user's time and protect their privacy. These make for compelling reasons to not ignore ATMs with a BTC icon the next time you see them. Most likely, after the first experience of buying coins through a cryptocurrency ATM, you will never return to the online exchange.
