2 of the exchanges we recommend in Lithuania take Apple Pay for funding bitcoin purchases. It is one of several rails in use here; the full picture is in the Lithuania guide.
What is Apple Pay?
Apple Pay is not a payment rail of its own. It is a wallet from Apple that stores your existing Visa, Mastercard or other card and hands the merchant a device specific number and a one time code instead of your real card number. The payment clears over the same card network and is authorised by the same bank, so funding an exchange with Apple Pay is funding it with your card. Apple lists supported countries and regions across Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Latin America, Africa and North America, but each bank decides whether its own cards can be added.
- Speed
- Instant, because it is an ordinary card authorisation approved in a second or two, exactly as fast as tapping the underlying card.
- Cost
- Apple states that it charges no fee when you pay with Apple Pay in stores, online or in apps, so your cost is whatever the underlying card costs, including any cash advance treatment by the issuer.
- Limits
- Apple Pay adds no ceiling of its own, so your card issuer's per transaction and daily limits apply unchanged, and the card must be from a participating bank in a supported country.

Do you need a VPN?
A VPN hides which sites you visit from the network you are on and from your internet provider, which is worth having when you move money over a connection you do not control. It does not get you past an exchange's identity checks: every platform we list verifies who you are no matter where you connect from.
If you want one, the strongest records on our list belong to NordVPN (6 independent no-logs audits, the most of any service we review), Windscribe (its no-logs claim tested in the real world 3 times) and Proton VPN (the most audited service with a free tier).

Frequently asked questions
Which exchanges accept Apple Pay in Lithuania?
Of the 7 exchanges we recommend in Lithuania, Bitpanda, Binance accept Apple Pay for funding purchases.
Is buying bitcoin with Apple Pay legal in Lithuania?
Bitcoin is fully legal in Lithuania. The Bank of Lithuania licenses and supervises crypto-asset service providers under the EU's MiCA regulation; the country's legacy VASP registration regime ended with a transition period that ran through the end of 2025, and providing crypto services without authorization is now treated as illegal financial activity. Lithuania was previously one of Europe's largest VASP registration hubs, so the cleanup was significant.
How long does an Apple Pay deposit take?
Instant, because it is an ordinary card authorisation approved in a second or two, exactly as fast as tapping the underlying card. That is the rail itself; an exchange may hold a first deposit for longer while it verifies your account.
What does it cost to buy bitcoin with Apple Pay?
Apple states that it charges no fee when you pay with Apple Pay in stores, online or in apps, so your cost is whatever the underlying card costs, including any cash advance treatment by the issuer. Any fee the exchange adds on top is separate, and is shown per exchange above.
