Add a payment method

You can add a debit card and/or bank account to your Coinbase.com account as a payment method. You can add a bank account by making a deposit using the PayID, or BSB + account number uniquely assigned to your Coinbase account.

Using a debit card to buy cryptocurrency (crypto) doesn’t require pre-funding a balance but using your bank account does.
