Buy and Sell Crypto
Buying & Selling Crypto
At Vancouver Cryptocurrency Exchange, all trades occur between you and us. No middlemen or third parties.

Before the trade
First, contact us and let us know which digital currencies you are looking to buy or sell, how much, and when. Our fee schedule can tell you the rate you'll be offered depending on the amount being purchased or sold. We'll then schedule a time for you to come down to our office for the trade. Note that this isn't always necessary; trades can also be done remotely and fiat payment can be made via e-transfer for bank wire. Orders can be placed over the phone, through text, or via e-mail. We can also provide technical support over the telephone or on zoom/facetime.

At the trade
Due to Bitcoin's high price volatility, we wait until you are at our office to lock price. As a buyer, once you pay we immediately send the Bitcoin to your wallet. As a seller, once you send us the Bitcoin, we immediately cash you out via your preferred method (cash, e-transfer, etc.)

Our Fees
We are transparent about our fees and never try to hide them from you. Our fees range from 2% to 5% depending on the size of the trade. We take a single fee per trade, which is a percentage applied to the amount being purchased or sold. This percentage falls as the size of the trade rises. Continue below for examples.

At the trade
Once you arrive at out office, we will lock the price for the coin(s) you are buying or selling, using the current market spot price. If you are spending $5000 on Bitcoin, for example, now we can calculate how much Bitcoin you'll be receiving. On the other hand, if you are selling 0.25 Bitcoin, for example, then we can now calculate how much we owe you.
