Contribute with Fiat

Geyser is a Bitcoin-native crowdfunding platform, but funding a project can be done with fiat currencies

Geyser supports two fiat funding options:

  • Stripe Fiat payments go straight into the project creator’s Stripe account. No Bitcoin swap.

  • Banxa Contributors use fiat to buy Bitcoin, which is sent directly to the project.

Stripe

For projects that have configured a Stripe account, the payment experience is seamless.

How it works:

Once you click Contribute and "Continue with Credit Card ot Bank Transfer" you simply add your credit card details, and make the payment. No KYC required, no limits. It just works!

Banxa

For projects that did not configure Stripe, you can pay with credit card via the Banxa service that allows you to buy Bitcoin and instantly send it to the project.

How it works:

Once you click Contribute and "Continue with Credit Card ot Bank Transfer" you will be prompted to select the currency and then finalize the flow on Banxa. You may be required to undergo document verification

What happens behind the scenes:

  • Your fiat payment is processed by Banxa

  • Banxa converts the fiat into Bitcoin

  • The Bitcoin is sent immediately to the project

  • The project creator receives Bitcoin, not fiat

  • All funds end up as Bitcoin.

Fees:

Expect roughly an additional ~3.5% fee for the Banxa. These fees cover payment processing, conversion, and compliance.

Verification and KYC

Banxa may request verification depending on your location.

  • Europe and the US Light verification such as name and address

  • Other regions ID verification may be required

If verification is required, Banxa will prompt you during checkout.
