Buy Crypto with a Patelco Credit Union Card, Wire or ACH
Patelco began inside the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company in 1936 — nearly a century later it banks a wide slice of the Bay Area, including plenty of tech workers with crypto questions. For crypto, the practical picture is simple: Anytime Capital accepts Patelco Credit Union debit cards, credit cards, ACH transfers and wire transfers, and Patelco Credit Union members buy BTC, ETH, LTC, SOL, XRP, USDT, USDC and 38+ other assets with delivery to a wallet they control — then sell back for a wire or ACH to the same Patelco Credit Union account.

Buying crypto with a Patelco Credit Union wire transfer
Wire transfers from Patelco Credit Union are accepted at Anytime Capital for crypto purchases.
Patelco Credit Union sends domestic wires on business days before its cutoff — order in branch, by phone, or through online banking where enabled.
Wires are the standard rail once an order outgrows a daily card limit: there is no card ceiling, the funds arrive as cleared dollars, and our OTC desk quotes the price before you send. Send the wire from an account in your own name — third-party wires cannot be accepted — and the crypto goes out to your wallet on the network you choose once the funds land and compliance review completes.
Selling crypto and getting a wire to your Patelco Credit Union account
Anytime Capital buys crypto back and sends the dollars to your Patelco Credit Union account by wire transfer or ACH.
Selling runs the same process in reverse: lock a price with the desk, send the crypto from your wallet, and we pay out in US dollars to the Patelco Credit Union account already verified on your profile. Wires are the fastest payout rail — same business day when the sale settles before the cutoff — and ACH is the free, slower alternative. Larger sells are handled by our OTC desk with a quoted price rather than a moving market rate.
You can sell BTC, ETH, LTC, SOL, XRP, USDT, USDC and 20+ other assets directly, or bring cash out in person at our Atlanta and Miami branches. Payout account names must match your verified identity — a rule that protects you as much as it satisfies our compliance obligations.
