Where can I find my closest Bitcoin ATM in Ottawa?
Buying cryptocurrency with cash in the ByWard Market
To buy Bitcoin in Ottawa with cash, head to Dewan Currency on Rideau Street, where the city's Bitcoin4U machine stands. It takes Canadian bills and sells Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, USD Coin, Solana and XRP.
Being in the ByWard Market puts it within easy reach of Lower Town and Sandy Hill, and it is a simple stop for anyone in Rideau-Vanier or working around Parliament Hill. Shoppers, diners and commuters passing through downtown Ottawa can fit a purchase into an errand they were already running.
What a cash machine saves you
Paying with bills means nothing to link and no deposit to wait for. Your phone is the other thing to bring: the machine scans the QR code in your wallet app to know where to send the coins, and they arrive within minutes. Limits go up to $40,000 a day. Visiting from out of town or short on cash, you can buy online with Interac e-Transfer instead.
Asked about the Rideau Street machine
Can I pay with a card?
No. The ATM takes Canadian bills only, and debit and credit cards are not accepted at the machine, so count out what you plan to spend before you arrive.
Will my verification work at other Bitcoin4U machines?
Yes. The ID check is done once on your phone, usually in under a minute, and your profile then works beyond Ottawa, at every Bitcoin4U ATM across Canada. Verify before you visit and look at the current fee so the stop is quick.
