Cryptocurrency ATMs are one of the most convenient ways to acquire or sell digital assets without going through the lengthy registration and KYC processes of centralized exchanges. For holders and users of Bitcoin Cash (BCH), there are now more than 1,600 ATMs worldwide that support BCH transactions, according to the latest data from Coin ATM Radar. Whether you want to buy BCH with cash or sell BCH for fiat, finding a nearby machine is easier than ever.
Coin ATM Radar: The Go-To Tool for ATM Locating
The most comprehensive and up-to-date directory of cryptocurrency ATMs is Coin ATM Radar. This service aggregates real-time information on tens of thousands of kiosks globally, including the supported cryptocurrencies, transaction directions (buy/sell), fees, limits, and user ratings. It is available both as a website and as a mobile app for iOS and Android, allowing you to search by your current location or any address.
To find a BCH ATM, simply open the app or website, select “Bitcoin Cash” from the coin filter, and the map will display all nearby machines that support BCH. Each listing shows the operator’s name, the exact address (often with photos), the fee percentage, and whether it supports buying, selling, or both. If you know of a BCH ATM that is not listed, you can submit it through the platform to help the community stay updated.
No BCH ATM Nearby? Become an Operator Yourself
If your area lacks BCH-compatible ATMs, you don’t have to rely solely on exchanges. Many cryptocurrency ATM manufacturers, such as Genesis Coin, General Bytes, and BitAccess, offer models that support BCH. You can purchase a machine, obtain the necessary licenses (depending on local regulations), and set it up in a high-traffic location like a convenience store or shopping mall. The business model is straightforward: you earn a percentage of each transaction as a fee. With the global cryptocurrency ATM market processing billions of dollars in transactions annually, and BCH fees typically ranging from 5% to 15%, this can be a profitable venture.
Key Tips for Using a BCH ATM
1. Identity Verification (KYC): While some ATMs allow small transactions (e.g., under $1,000) without ID, most will require a phone number SMS verification or a scan of your passport/driver’s license. Ensure you have a valid phone and ID ready before visiting.
2. Wallet Setup: If you are selling BCH, you need a BCH-compatible wallet installed on your smartphone (e.g., Bitcoin.com Wallet, Electron Cash, or Edge). Double-check the receiving address before confirming the transaction. For buying, the ATM will either dispense a paper wallet or generate a QR code that can be imported into a wallet.
3. Fee Comparison: Fees vary significantly between operators — from as low as 2% to as high as 15%. Use Coin ATM Radar to filter for the lowest fees near you. Also, note that most ATMs have a minimum transaction amount (commonly $20).
Global BCH ATM Distribution and Trends
As of mid-2026, the total number of cryptocurrency ATMs worldwide has surpassed 50,000, with BCH-supported machines accounting for roughly 3.2% of that total (approximately 1,600 units). North America remains the dominant region (70% of all BCH ATMs), followed by Europe (20%) and Asia-Pacific (10%). With the growing adoption of BCH for everyday payments and the increasing profitability of ATM operations, the number of BCH-compatible kiosks is expected to double within the next two years. Several new operators, especially in Latin America and Southeast Asia, have expressed interest in deploying BCH ATMs to serve unbanked populations.
