Buying Crypto on Kraken
Withdrawal hold
Certain instant purchases, such as first time ACH Online Banking, debit or credit card or digital wallet purchases, will trigger a withdrawal hold for up to 72 hours. Withdrawal holds may also be triggered by deposits from certain banks as well as security reasons. For enhanced security, debit and credit card purchases using USD will experience the 72 hour lock discussed above on all purchases, not just your first purchase.
You can buy, sell and convert any combination of cryptocurrencies and cash instantly using the dedicated Buy, Sell and Convert buttons on the home page.
Instructions on how to use the Buy, Sell and Convert options are shown below.
Note: Transactions may not be cancelled once initiated. All purchases are final and non-refundable.
