Alliant members at Anytime Capital buy with Visa debit or Apple Pay in minutes and use Alliant's ACH rails for repeat funding.

Credit cards are accepted here that other crypto platforms turn away.
At most crypto platforms the outcome is a coin flip: some of this issuer's products go through, others decline or land as a quasi-cash advance. Anytime Capital accepts all major credit cards — Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover — from every bank and credit union we cover.
The honest caveat: Acceptance is our decision as the merchant; authorization of any individual transaction is Alliant Credit Union's, and your cardholder agreement controls. Alliant publishes no crypto block and has repeatedly appeared on crypto-friendly bank lists — exchange ACH links and card purchases process without special restrictions. On credit cards, standard quasi-cash rules still apply; confirm coding before buying size on credit.

On credit cards, standard quasi-cash rules still apply; confirm coding before buying size on credit.
Worth knowing: Alliant is a fully digital credit union (no branches) with anyone-can-join membership via its foundation. Its high-limit ACH rails are the reason active crypto buyers favor it.
Buying crypto with a Alliant Credit Union wire transfer
Wire transfers from Alliant Credit Union are accepted at Anytime Capital for crypto purchases.
Alliant sends domestic wires through its online process with higher-than-typical ACH limits alongside — a big part of why active crypto buyers favor it.
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 Alliant Credit Union account
Anytime Capital buys crypto back and sends the dollars to your Alliant 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 Alliant 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.
