Paysafecard is a prepaid voucher. You buy one for a fixed amount at a shop, kiosk or petrol station, often with cash, and receive a 16-digit PIN. You then spend that PIN online without a bank account, a card, or a credit check. You can register a myPaysafe account to combine several PINs and manage balances, but a single PIN is enough for a basic payment.
Paying a crypto exchange with Paysafecard means entering your PIN at the deposit screen. You don’t have to share bank or card details. What you do give up is the option to reverse the payment, and vouchers come in small amounts with limits, so this is a rail for a first small purchase rather than a large deposit.
The list at the top of this page shows the exchanges that accept it.
Paysafecard was founded in Vienna, Austria, in 2000, the year it launched. It is operated by PaysafeCard, a subsidiary of the Paysafe group. In 2013 it was acquired by the digital-wallet provider Skrill, and in 2015 the Skrill group, including Paysafecard, was acquired by Optimal Payments, which later rebranded as Paysafe. Before 2015 Paysafecard had taken over two former competitors, the Dutch Wallie and the British Ukash, widening its European footprint. In 2024 the brand styling changed from the all-lowercase paysafecard to the capitalised PaysafeCard. For someone paying today, the practical result is a single voucher PIN you buy with cash and spend online.
Paysafecard doesn’t offer any way to buy, sell or hold cryptocurrency itself. There’s no native crypto product in its app, and its own documentation doesn’t mention one. The voucher is simply a prepaid payment instrument you can use at any merchant that has integrated it.
The provider doesn’t publish a policy that permits or restricts paying crypto exchanges. The method just works wherever a merchant has built it in. Worth knowing: Paysafecard’s own security guidance warns that anyone demanding payment by voucher, such as to free up a locked computer, is running a scam. So treat a PIN like cash and only enter it on a site you trust.
These steps work at any exchange that accepts Paysafecard.
A Paysafecard payment is a push payment: the value is authorised the moment you enter the PIN, so it usually credits immediately. That is one of the method’s main advantages over a bank transfer.
What slows things down sits on the exchange side rather than the voucher. A first-time deposit may wait on identity verification, which can take longer over a weekend or outside banking hours. Once your account is verified, later Paysafecard payments tend to go through straight away.
The voucher itself can carry costs. PINs don’t expire, but starting 30 days after purchase a monthly service fee is deducted from any unused balance, so spend it rather than leave it sitting. Spending a voucher in a currency other than the one it was issued in can also bring a conversion charge, since each PIN is tied to one country and currency. Exact fees and limits vary by region.
An exchange may add its own charge on top, such as a deposit fee or a wider price on an instant buy. Check the total shown on the confirmation screen before you commit, so you see the full cost in one place.
A voucher is a bearer instrument, not an account. Once its value is spent, there is nothing left to pay into, which means every venue that accepts Paysafecard has to pay you out by something else: a bank transfer, a card refund, or a crypto withdrawal.
Work that out before you deposit, not after. If the only withdrawal route a venue offers is a bank transfer and you used a voucher precisely because you have no bank account, you have funded an account you cannot empty.
The usual answer is a crypto withdrawal to a wallet you control, which needs no bank at all. If that is the plan, check the venue supports it for the asset you intend to buy.
Compare a few things between the exchanges that accept Paysafecard. Look at the total cost shown before you confirm, not just the coin price. Check how long account verification takes, which coins you can buy, and the exchange’s security record. Most important, check the exit: whether you can withdraw by a route that works for you, because you cannot send money back to a voucher. Weigh those against each other using the list at the top of this page.
No. A voucher is a bearer instrument with no account behind it, so every exchange pays out by another route. Plan the exit before you deposit.
Yes, at any regulated exchange. The voucher carries no identity information, so the exchange’s own checks apply in full.
Vouchers come in small denominations and carry per-transaction and cumulative caps, which vary by region. It is not a rail for a large deposit.
With a myPaysafe account you can combine multiple PINs to fund a single payment, up to the applicable limit. Check the deposit screen before buying several vouchers.
Because the voucher is prepaid and PIN-based, completed payments are final and there is no chargeback. If a payment does not go through, the value stays on the voucher for you to spend elsewhere.
Treat a PIN like cash: anyone who has it can spend it, and losing it generally means losing the value. Keep the receipt.
