itez review
itez is a workable card on-ramp for small, quick bitcoin purchases, best thought of as a checkout page rather than an exchange. The service has operated from Vilnius, Lithuania since 2019; its operator, Beamloop UAB, is registered in Lithuania as a virtual currency exchange and deposit wallet operator, a regime supervised by the country's Financial Crime Investigation Service (FCIS).
Buying is deliberately simple: pick an amount, pay with a Visa or Mastercard, and the bitcoin is sent to the wallet address you provide. That keeps custody with you, but it also means itez offers no order book, no recurring buys, and little reason to hold an account.
The costs and limits are typical of card on-ramps: the quoted price includes a markup over the spot rate plus card processing costs, so it is more expensive than funding an exchange by bank transfer. US customers are not accepted. For a first small purchase it does the job; for regular buying, a full exchange will be cheaper.

Frequently asked questions
Is itez regulated?
Its operator, Beamloop UAB, is registered in Lithuania as a virtual currency exchange and deposit wallet operator, a regime supervised by the Financial Crime Investigation Service (FCIS). That is a registration, not a banking license, so treat itez as a checkout tool rather than a place to keep funds.
Can US customers use itez?
No. itez does not accept US customers.
Where does my bitcoin go after purchase?
Straight to the wallet address you provide during checkout. itez does not hold your coins after delivery, so copy and paste the address rather than typing it, because a mistyped address can lose the funds.
What does itez cost?
The quoted price includes a markup over the spot rate plus card processing costs, which is typical for card on-ramps. Buying by bank transfer on a full exchange is usually cheaper for larger amounts.
