2. Exchange
2.1. About Buycoin
Buycoin is a service for buying, selling, and exchanging cryptocurrencies.
You can use the service to buy cryptocurrency with fiat currency, sell cryptocurrency and receive funds through one of the available payout methods, or exchange one digital asset for another.
Available exchange pairs, payment methods, and payout options are shown on the website and may vary depending on the selected currency and type of exchange.
Buycoin places a strong focus on transaction security, user data protection, and providing a convenient experience for its customers.
2.2. Service Hours
You can create an order to buy, sell, or exchange cryptocurrency at any time — 24/7/365.
Orders are processed automatically around the clock, including weekends and public holidays.
Buycoin Support is available daily from 07:00 to 23:00 (UTC+2).
You can find all available ways to contact our Support team on the Contacts page.
2.3. Order Processing
After you create an order, a countdown will appear showing how much time you have to complete the payment.
Once your payment is received, the order is processed automatically. Processing times vary depending on the exchange pair, payment method, and other transaction-specific factors.
If you haven't received your funds within the timeframe specified in the order details after the exchange is completed, please contact our Support team using any of the options listed on the Contacts page.
2.4. Blockchain Transaction Confirmations
After you send cryptocurrency, the transaction is submitted to the blockchain network, where it must receive the required number of confirmations.
Confirmations help verify transactions and prevent the same funds from being spent more than once. A transaction can only be processed by our service once the required number of confirmations has been reached.
Confirmation times depend on the blockchain network, its current activity, and the transaction fee set when the funds were sent.
Please note that Buycoin has no control over blockchain processing times and cannot speed up the confirmation process.
2.5. Service Fees
Fees vary depending on the exchange pair, transaction amount, and payment method.
The online calculator on the homepage shows the final exchange amount upfront, including all applicable fees.
Once you create an order, you'll be able to review the full exchange terms and a detailed breakdown of the calculation.
2.6. How Do I Create an Exchange Order?
To create an order, sign in to your account.
On the homepage, use the online calculator to select the exchange pair and enter the amount you want to exchange. The calculator will automatically show an estimated exchange amount based on the applicable terms.
Once you've checked the details, click "Buy Now". Your order will be created with all the information you need to complete the transaction.
Once the order requirements have been met, the exchange will be processed automatically and the funds will be sent to the payment details you provided.
2.7. Exchange Rate Lock and Final Exchange Amount
The exchange rate shown when you create an order is an estimate and may change before the rate is locked in.
Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile, and the value of digital assets can change within a short period of time. As a result, the final exchange amount may be slightly higher or lower than the initial estimate.
The final exchange rate is locked in according to the terms of the selected exchange pair.
For more information on how the exchange rate is locked in, please refer to the Terms of Use.
2.8. Cryptocurrency Rate Changes
Cryptocurrency rates on Buycoin are based on current market conditions and the rates provided by our liquidity providers.
Crypto markets are highly volatile, and the value of digital assets can change within seconds. As a result, the rate shown when you create an order may differ from the rate available when the order is processed and the final rate is locked in.
Rate fluctuations are a natural part of the cryptocurrency market and are driven by supply, demand, and current market activity.
2.9. Order Status
You can track the status of each order in the Orders section of your account.
The order details show its current status and the stage of the exchange process.
You'll also receive an automatic email notification whenever the order status changes. This allows you to keep track of your exchange even when you're not signed in to your account.
What do the order statuses mean?
- New order — your order has been created successfully and is awaiting your confirmation.
- Payment Pending — payment is expected using the details provided.

2.12. Funds Haven't Arrived After the Exchange Was Completed
If your order is already marked as Completed but the funds haven't reached your wallet or bank account yet, we recommend allowing some additional time. In some cases, transfers may take longer due to blockchain network conditions or processing times of the payment provider or bank.
If you haven't received the funds within the timeframe specified in the Terms of Use, please contact our Support team using any of the options listed on the Contacts page.
3. Verification
3.1. User Verification
Buycoin may require identity verification to comply with applicable laws, AML/KYC requirements, and the requirements of our payment partners.
Identity verification helps protect users from fraud, prevent misuse of the service, and keep transactions secure.
3.2. When Is Verification Required?
You'll be asked to complete identity verification when creating your first exchange order.
Verification only needs to be completed once. Once verified, you can use the service within the limits available for your verification level.
Buycoin offers four verification levels, each with different exchange limits. The level required depends on the exchange amount and applicable legal requirements.
3.3. How Does Verification Work?
After creating your first order, you'll be automatically redirected to a secure verification platform.
The verification process is handled by a specialized third-party provider, not by Buycoin staff. You may be asked to provide documents, photos, or other information needed to confirm your identity.
Please follow the instructions shown on screen carefully to complete the verification process.
3.4. How Long Does Verification Take?
In most cases, verification takes between 15 minutes and 1 hour.
It may take longer if the information you provided requires additional review or if the verification service is experiencing a high volume of requests.
3.5. What If Verification Is Unsuccessful?
If the verification process encounters a technical issue, such as low-quality photos or insufficient information, you may be asked to resubmit your documents (Resubmission). In this case, follow the instructions provided and upload the required materials again.
If the verification provider makes a final decision to reject your verification (Declined), you will not be able to complete the verification process again. As a result, you will no longer be able to use Buycoin.
