How to buy Bitcoin

How to buy Bitcoin with South African rands

Buying BTC with a credit or debit card is extremely easy, it only takes 5 steps:

  1. Create a BTC wallet.
  2. Go to UTORG and fill in the express order form.
  3. Enter your card details to checkout. Authorize the payment.
  4. Verify your identity, if new to the service.

That’s it! Moreover, after the first purchase, step 5 will be skipped, so you’ll be able to buy Bitcoin with rands (ZAR) even faster and with less effort.

How to choose a wallet for Bitcoin

There are a plethora of wallets on the market that support BTC. Every cryptocurrency wallet has its advantages and disadvantages, so you’ll have to do your own research to find one, which suits you the most. Check user reviews and use only wallets that have gained a solid reputation in the community.

It is also important to understand the distinctions between wallet types:

  • Hardware wallets, like Ledger and Trezor, provide the highest level of security, but they are quite expensive.
  • Desktop and mobile wallets (e.g. https://utorg.app/) are a nice middle-ground between security and usability, but you should use well-established ones.
  • Online wallets are easy-to-use, but they lack security measures, thus refrain from using them.

Buying Bitcoin with debit or credit card in South Africa is easy

Nowadays, a bank card is the most straightforward way to buy Bitcoin with ZAR. And the reasons for that are quite simple and obvious:

  • A bank card (be it a credit card, a debit card, virtual one) is the most common/widespread payment instrument. So you don’t have to take any extra steps to use one to purchase crypto with the South African Rands, you already have it.
  • Minimum effort is required for a transaction to happen; the process is greatly simplified compared to wire transfers.
  • Card payments are processed almost instantaneously, so there is no waiting period; coins can be sent to your address instantly.

UTORG remarkably bundles all these advantages to provide users with the fastest and easiest way to buy Bitcoin with ZAR

You can buy Bitcoin both with USD, EUR, NZD, GBP, CAD, AUD circulating in English-speaking countries, and with other currencies

How to keep your Bitcoins safe?

There are a few simple rules that ensure your coins’ security:

  • Never share your BTC private key with anyone under any circumstances. No one is entitled to require it from you.
  • Check and double-check every transaction. There is no way to get your coins back if you made a mistake - transactions in blockchain are irreversible.
  • Don’t publicly boast of your crypto holdings. This includes online boasting under your real name or identifiable and\or trackable pseudonyms.
  • Create a separate email for your Bitcoin wallet and don’t use it for anything else.
  • Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for your wallet to ensure its security.

Step-by-Step guide

01

Create your order

Use the UTORG express order form. 

You can specify the amount of Bitcoin you want to buy, so the system will calculate the amount of ZAR required to make a purchase. Or you can specify the amount of ZAR you are ready to spend on Bitcoin and the system will calculate the amount you’ll receive.

Then enter your Bitcoin address and click Buy BTC.

02

Confirm your email

Enter your email address. We will send you a 6-digit confirmation code - enter it to proceed with your purchase.


03

Fill in your card details

Select South Africa from the list and fill in your card details. Then confirm that you have read and accept our Terms of Use and click Pay.

04

Confirm the payment

Your bank will send you a 3DS-code. Use it to confirm the payment and start the exchange.

05

Pass the verification

For your first exchange, you’ll be required to pass verification

You’ll have to upload a photo of your ID and then show your face to a camera on your PC or smartphone. Then our AI verification system will confirm that the document uploaded is indeed yours.

It will take about 3 minutes, so pre-authorization hold will be put on the amount of ZAR on your card required to make a purchase. Therefore, until you complete the verification, the funds will not leave your card. 

If you do not complete the process, funds will be released immediately and available to you when the bank reacts.

06

Wait for your Bitcoin

Your coins will be sent instantly once verification is completed. You’ll receive an email from UTORG containing all the transaction details, including a link to it in the block explorer. Thus you’ll be able to track the exchange process and your BTCs in real time.

The waiting period depends solely on the Bitcoin network load.
