CEX.IO Adds Payment Options via AstroPay, Enables Buying Bitcoin in LATAMWe are glad to announce extending options for funding accounts and withdrawing money through partnership with
AstroPay, which enables payments in local currency in the LATAM region, China and Turkey.
AstroPay enables two alternative ways of depositing funds to

When choosing a cash payment method, a user gets an electronic document with a unique bar code, which should be used to pay with cash in local currency at one of the terminals. Literally, you can buy Bitcoin for cash.
Withdrawals are available via bank transfer only.
With a tangibly
low commission of 2.5%, deposits via AstroPay online banking takes a few minutes till several hours, and withdrawals — about 1-2 business days. Notably, only users who have completed identity verification according to CEX.IO AML/KYC policy will be able to use AstroPay payment solutions, which are fully compliant with each country’s banking regulations.
The full list of countries allowed for AstroPay payments includes: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Uruguay, and Turkey.
