<p>Is it about buying coins anonymously? Then I would recommend to check out <a href="https://bisq.network/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">bisq</a>, a decentralized exchange where you trade peer to peer via the means of your choice (SEPA and even cash in person I think). The best solution would buying for cash obviously, check out <a href="https://coinatmradar.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this website</a> for checking if there is a Bitcoin-ATM around your place.</p>
<p><a href="https://relai.ch/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Relai</a> or <a href="https://pocketbitcoin.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Pocket</a> are good solutions if KYC-light is an option for you. However I don't know if they are blacklisted by your bank.</p>

<p>I have an account at National Bank of Greece and would like to buy bitcoins in Greece using a pre-paid Visa Card. Can someone point out how I could do that? I could also get one from another bank if that's necessary. I have heard about a Bitcoin ATM somewhere, but I'm unsure if that would work in my case.</p>

<p>I also tried blockchain, but the bank didn't send the cash.</p>

Bitcoin Core is a full node and includes wallet features. You cannot buy and sell Bitcoin directly in Bitcoin Core, you can only send/receive BTC. To buy/sell Bitcoin you need an exchange.

# Can't buy bitcoins from Greece via prepaid card

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-04-13)

I have an account at National Bank of Greece and would like to buy bitcoins in Greece using a pre-paid Visa Card. Can someone point out how I could do that? I could also get one from another bank if that's necessary. I have heard about a Bitcoin ATM somewhere, but I'm unsure if that would work in my case.

I also tried blockchain, but the bank didn't send the cash.

Is it about buying coins anonymously? Then I would recommend to check out [bisq](https://bisq.network/), a decentralized exchange where you trade peer to peer via the means of your choice (SEPA and even cash in person I think). The best solution would buying for cash obviously, check out [this website](https://coinatmradar.com/) for checking if there is a Bitcoin-ATM around your place.

[Relai](https://relai.ch/) or [Pocket](https://pocketbitcoin.com/) are good solutions if KYC-light is an option for you. However I don't know if they are blacklisted by your bank.
