How to Buy Bitcoin with Cash in Canada (Step-by-Step Guide)

If you'd rather buy Bitcoin with cash, you're in good company. Plenty of Canadians prefer the directness of it — no bank linkage, no multi-day settlement, just cash in and crypto out. Here's how it works at a HoneyBadger ATM.

Step 1 — Find a machine

Use the locations map to find the nearest ATM. With 220+ machines across the country, there is likely one in a shop, café, or convenience store close to you.

Step 2 — Set up your wallet

Before you go, install a reputable wallet app and have your receive address ready as a QR code. The machine will scan it to know where to send your Bitcoin.

Step 3 — Verify and buy

  • Tap "Buy", choose Bitcoin, and verify your phone number.
  • Scan your wallet QR code when prompted.
  • Insert your cash — the machine shows the amount and rate as you go.
  • Confirm. Your Bitcoin is on its way within minutes.
The whole thing is faster than buying a coffee and waiting for it to brew.

Step 4 — Keep your receipt

Hold on to the printed receipt until the transaction confirms in your wallet. If anything looks off, it has everything our support team needs to help you quickly.
