Where to Buy Bitcoin with Cash in Panama City

Buy Bitcoin, USDT or USDC with cash in person at a walk-in exchange desk on Calle 50, Panama City. Firm rate, counted cash, same day.

You can buy Bitcoin with cash in person in Panama City at Torero Coin, a walk-in crypto exchange desk on Calle 50 in the Obarrio banking district. Bring US dollars, agree a firm rate with a real person, and walk out with Bitcoin, USDT or USDC the same day. This is Panama City, Panama, in Central America, not Panama City, Florida.

Where to go

The desk is at PH El Embajador, Calle 50, Obarrio, Panama City, ground-floor entrance with paid parking directly in front. Walk in Monday to Friday, 10:00 to 18:00. Weekends, holidays and off-hours are by appointment. See the full details on the about page or open the exchange page to price your amount first.

How buying works

  1. Message ahead (optional). Tell us the amount so the crypto is ready, especially for larger sums. Weekdays you can also just walk in.
  2. Get a firm quote. Use the exchange calculator to see the exact fee and what you receive before you arrive.
  3. Settle in person. Hand over cash, we send the Bitcoin, USDT or USDC to your wallet and confirm it on chain before you leave.

Walk-in desk vs a Bitcoin ATM

Panama has Bitcoin ATMs, but they typically charge a 7 to 15 percent spread and there is no one to help. A staffed desk gives you a firm, better rate, real support, and the ability to do meaningful amounts from our own liquidity. You deal with a person, not a machine.

What to bring

US dollars in cash, a wallet address or a wallet app on your phone, and ID if your amount is above the no-KYC threshold. For smaller amounts no KYC is needed; larger amounts, bank wires, or moving funds to a bank account require verifying once.

How much can I buy?

Small everyday amounts up to large trades. For bigger purchases we run a private OTC desk. If you need the funds to reach a bank account instead of a wallet, see our automated wires.
