Credit Cards Can Now be Added as a Backup Payment Method for Instant Purchases

Today we’re rolling out a change that will require a backup credit card to be added to your account before Instant purchases are enabled. We’re excited about accepting credit cards at Coinbase because it will allow us to implement some pretty awesome things down the road, including higher Instant Buy limits.

Right now credit cards can only be used as a backup payment method — they can’t be used to buy bitcoin directly. To enable Instant Buy on your Coinbase account, add a backup credit card today!
