Where to Buy Bitcoin in Scarborough (2026 Guide) | The Coin Shack
Where to buy Bitcoin in Scarborough
Scarborough has plenty of Bitcoin ATMs, but very few places where a real person will help you. Our shop is a short drive north of Scarborough in east Markham, and we also serve Scarborough customers online. Here is what each option costs and when it makes sense.
TL;DR
- Cheapest: buy online by Interac e-Transfer, 2.35% fee already in the price, Bitcoin sent to your own wallet.
- Want help or cash? Visit our store at 238 Copper Creek Dr, Markham, a short drive north. Cash buys under $1,000 need no ID.
- Skip Bitcoin ATMs: fees of 6% to 15% or more are common.
- Someone pushing you to use a Bitcoin ATM? Stop and call us or family first. It is a classic scam sign.

Most of our Scarborough customers buy online after their first visit. You pay by Interac e-Transfer from your own bank and the Bitcoin goes straight to your wallet. Our fee is 2.35%, included in the price. We pay the Bitcoin network fee (want it faster? You can choose a $2 or $5 speed-up). Buy Online explains the steps.
Selling works the same way in reverse: send Bitcoin from your wallet and we pay you by Interac e-Transfer, for 1.85%. See Sell Online.
Bitcoin ATMs in Scarborough: what to watch for
ATMs are convenient, but fees of 6% to 15% or more are common, and the exchange rate on screen is often well above the market price. On $500 that can mean $50 or more gone before you own any Bitcoin. Compare for yourself with our ATM fee calculator.
If anyone is pressuring you to put cash into a Bitcoin ATM, stop and call us or a family member first. That pressure is the classic sign of a scam.
