Frequently Asked Questions

How do I buy cryptocurrency?

Flypto makes it easy to purchase crypto using our payment console. The payment console is embedded on the right-hand side of the Flypto website. You can also Sign Up or Sign In to your account and click the Buy Crypto tab.

Do I need to provide identity verification to use Flypto?

For some payment methods, customers can buy up to a fixed amount (ie. $150) without providing identity verification documentation. Other payment methods (and higher value purchases) require the customer to complete an automated identity verification process before purchasing. If ID verification is required for a purchase, you will be notified when selecting a payment option.

How do I verify my identity?

To verify your identity, you'll be asked to supply a picture of a government-issued photo ID, such as a passport or driver's license. You'll also be asked to take a video selfie of your face. Flypto processes your submissions using document analysis software and facial recognition software to ensure that your document is valid, and the photo ID is of yourself. Document processing is automatic and typically takes less than a minute, although during times of network congestion it may take up to ten minutes to process.

What happens if the automated document verification fails?

In the case of an error reading your document or capturing your video selfie, customers are routed into a backup ID verification process. You'll be asked to upload documents and Flypto security agents will verify the documents offline. Please allow up to 24 hours for manual security screening of documents.

What cryptocurrencies can I buy?

Currently you can buy Bitcoin (BTC) and Litecoin (LTC). We're working on offering other cryptocurrencies. Not all currencies are available in all regions.

What fiat currencies do you support?

You can buy cryptocurrency using Canadian dollars (CAD), Euros (EUR) and Australian dollars (AUD).

How long does it take for the crypto to arrive in my wallet?

Bitcoin and Litecoin transactions are typically processed in the next block. You should receive the initial confirmation of the transaction in 10 minutes. However, during times of high network activity, please allow up to thirty minutes. Once your transaction has been added to the blockchain, you'll recieve a confirmation email with the transaction hash ID. With this ID you can search for the status of your transaction at crypto utilities sites, such as Blockchain Explorer

I’ve purchased crypto by European Bank Transfer but haven’t received the crypto yet. How long does it take?

In general, Open Banking transactions in Europe aim for real-time or near-real-time processing. Roughly half of transactions will be completed within seconds or minutes. However, not all banks are connected in the same system. If there’s no real-time connection between two banks, the transaction is processed on an older system, which can take up to 48 hours.

Note that Flypto purchases your cryptocurrency at an exchange rate calculated at the time of completion of your bank transfer. If your bank transfer is not processed in real-time, this exchange rate can differ significantly from the rate quoted at the start of your transaction.

How can I locate my crypto purchase in my credit card statement?

Your transaction will have the descriptor FLYPTO.IO

Why was my credit card declined?

If your credit card was declined, it could be because:

• the card details (name on card, card number, expiry date, CVV) provided did not match an existing card
• the card details provided did not match the billing address
• the bank that issued your card might restrict customers from buying cryptocurrency with the card
• the card has been reported lost or stolen

To discover the exact reason, please contact your financial institution.
