Sites allow you to buy bitcoin with your bank account. All three are very similar but in this guide I use Coinbase as an example.
Wells Fargo Account To Bitcoin
Procedure To Get BTC through Bank
Wells Fargo Account To Bitcoin
First, sign up to https://www.coinbase.com pretending you are the account owner of the Wells Fargo account. You will need a throwaway email account and burner phone number to register. Let’s say account owner name is John Duff, email [email protected] you sign up with this same details
You'll have to verify your email so keep an eye on your inbox. When it arrives,click the verification link though the email to bring you back to coinbase.com. It will ask you to accept terms of service… just sign WF account holder name and click submit.
Coinbase has 3 verification levels which determine how much you can withdraw per day. You start at Level 0 which just gives you access to a BTC wallet. If you want to withdraw/deposit money you’ll need to verify to Level 1. This requires you verify a phone number and bank account. Google Voice numbers sometimes throw up a red flag to Coinbase so beware. Verifying the account to Level 2, or at least answering the security questions will help mitigate this issue.
To verify bank account you will need full account number and routing number. Dm on “How to Find Full Account Info” or how to obtain this information”
Hopefully you will be able to instantly verify bank account by entering account details including username and password to Wells Fargo account. If this instant verification method fails, you will need to manually verify by allowing Coinbase to make 2 small deposits into the bank account. You will need to monitor the bank account for deposits and enter these amounts on Coinbase. This takes 2-3 days.
Procedure To Get BTC through Bank
To prevent logging into Wells Fargo account over and over, signup for account on mint.com using WF credentials. There you can monitor account and be notified via email when the deposits are made.
To take things one level further, and give ourselves an even higher chance of making a successful purchase, lets verify the Coinbase account to Level 2.
try to do a “Background Check and Credit Report” guide to get the security questions you will be asked when verifying Coinbase account. Use the exact name, address, DOB, SSN for the WF account holder on Coinbase and verify the security questions. It will take 30 days from your first purchase to be Level 2 verified but Coinbase will trust that you are the real account owner since you passed their verification questions and will be less likely to cancel your buy Bitcoin orders.
Withdraw Limit and Flag Chances very Low
Keep your first withdrawal low (around $50) and the chances Coinbase will flag your transaction will be VERY low. After a successful first transaction, feel free to bump up the withdrawal to $100 and keep bumping it up after every successful transfer.
Tips for making successful withdrawals…
When buying Bitcoin, make sure you buy amounts that look like a random purchases. For example, make purchases in amounts like $39.95 or $44.23 instead of $40 or $50. This will look less suspicious to the account owner if they notice the charge and there is less of a chance they suspect fraud and reverse the transaction.
Eventhough we are making small withdrawals initially, try to use accounts that have $1,000-$5,000. People with more money are less likely to be proactive when they see random charges. If they see the transaction, we are hoping they take a couple days before they investigate and report it. This will give us enough time to receive BTC and transfer out of account.
Note this same method might likely not work with some other bank logs
