Coinmama is a Slovakia-based exchange platform known as one of the fastest and easiest ways to buy Bitcoin or Ethereum with a credit or debit card. The platform is available in over 210 countries (including some of the US states) and sells BTC or ETH to its users, accepting Visa, MasterCard, and Western Union payments.

Coinmama is best for those wanting to buy cryptocurrencies via credit card, but who are willing to pay a 5.5% exchange fee on top of 5% payment processing fee. The platform also provides a cash payment option via Western Union. Lifetime purchase limits vary from 10,000 to 1,000,000 USD according to the user's verification level. The platform has clean, intuitive design and is fairly easy to use.

Coinmama belongs to a Slovakian firm, NBV International s.r.o., which is affiliated with an Israeli firm, New Bit Ventures Ltd. There is a lot of secrecy about the company founders. The only information available on the Coinmama site is that New Bit Ventures Ltd is a regulated entity registered as a Money Service Business. The amount of scam allegations they receive is likely due to this secrecy.

Summary:

The Coinmama platform sells BTC and ETH to its users and claims to be a fast and easy way to purchase cryptos with a credit card. Recent customer reviews however, mention slow or declined transactions. We recommend using this platform with caution. Keep in mind the fees you need to pay: 5.5% to the exchange and an additional 5% for payment processing if you pay by credit card.
