Frequently asked questions

Which exchanges accept Credit or debit card in Philippines?

Of the 4 exchanges we recommend in Philippines, Binance, Kraken, Coinmama, Paxful accept Credit or debit card for funding purchases.

Is buying bitcoin with Credit or debit card legal in Philippines?

Bitcoin is legal in the Philippines under one of Asia's older regulatory frameworks: the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas has licensed virtual asset service providers since 2017, and the SEC's Crypto-Asset Service Provider rules took effect on July 5, 2025. Enforcement against unregistered platforms is real: regulators had Binance blocked at the network level in 2024 and added ten more offshore exchanges, including Kraken, in August 2025. Buying on licensed platforms is fully lawful.
