Bitcoin exchange Coinbase will now allow users to buy Bitcoin (TIKER: BTC.EXANTE), Ethereum (TIKER: ETH/USD.CRC), and Litecoin (TIKER: LTC/USD.CRC) instantly when paying with a US bank account.
Coinbase made the announcement in a blog post, Cryptocoins News reported.
“Our mission is to make Coinbase the most trusted, safe, and easy-to-use digital currency exchange. Instant purchases make it significantly easier and faster for customers to invest in the digital currency ecosystem,” Communications Director David Farmer said in a statement.
“Reducing the time to receive digital currency has been a highly requested feature and we are pleased to provide this improved experience for our customers,” he added.
Previously, customers who purchased cryptocurrency using a bank account had to wait several days before they received access to their assets.
Now, customers who pay for their cryptocurrency purchases using a US bank account can buy up to $25,000 worth of BTC (TIKER: BCH.EXANTE), ETH, and LTC and receive access to their coins immediately.
Coinbase crossed the 10 million registered user mark in September and has already added more than 1.4 million users since then.
