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:
Banxa (available now) Contributors use fiat to buy Bitcoin, which is sent directly to the project.
Stripe (coming soon) Fiat payments go straight into the project creator’s Stripe account. No Bitcoin swap.
Fiat to Bitcoin (Banxa)
Every project on Geyser can accept fiat contributions straight into their Bitcoin wallet. This means that you can send your Geyser project to your non-Bitcoiner fruends who can fund you with credit card, bank transfer and even Apple pay.
That's right, you don't need any Bitcoin to fund projects on Geyser.
How to contribute with fiat
Open the Geyser project you want to support
Click Contribute
Enter the amount or select a product to buy
Select the payment method "Continue with Credit Card ot Bank Transfer"
You will be redirected to Banxa
Complete the payment using your preferred fiat method
Banxa purchases Bitcoin and sends it directly to the project
How it works
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.
What this enables
Projects can be funded by non-Bitcoin users
You can share your Geyser project with friends, family, and broader audiences
Contributors can pay with fiat
Creators still receive Bitcoin
This removes the need for contributors to set up wallets or buy Bitcoin in advance, while keeping projects Bitcoin-native.
Stripe (coming soon)
