Creating and managing an account is completely free and is possible through e-mail and social media accounts as Facebook, LinkedIn and Google.

Login

BAM! You go like a rocket. If you have completed the above steps then you are already automatically logged in. If not or if you have logged out and want to log in again, follow the process on our dedicated login page.

Confirm identity

Who are you? This is what BLOX wants to know in order to comply with current legislation. The purpose of this legislation is to combat money laundering and financing terrorists. So you can’t escape from it if you want to deposit more than 250 euros and want to receive that 10 euros free starting credit. The only thing you need to do to confirm your identity is to send a picture of your identity document. You can choose from documents such as a passport, ID card or driver’s license. The identification is done as follows:

1. Open the BLOX app and make sure you are logged in;
2. Press “Settings” at the bottom right;
3. Then, under my “Account”, press “Profile”;
4. Then choose “Verify Acocunt” which will start the identity verification process;
5. Choose your ID and give the app access to your camera to take pictures of it;
6. That’s it. Easy peasy. Your verification is now in process and if all goes well you will receive a confirmation via email within 24 hours.
7. Identity verified? Don’t forget our voucher code to receive 10 euros starting credit. Here’s how you can get 10 euros for free.

Not getting anywhere with the verification? Or do you have any questions? Please contact the broker. You can read the best way to do so our dedicated contact page.

Linking bank account

Before you can buy crypto and withdraw money from the BLOX app, your bank account (IBAN) must be known at the broker. We’ll explain how to add your euros in a moment, but first the following. Depositing can be done as little as 1 euro, but you are not allowed to deposit from a bank account that is not in your name. When you deposit for the first time, it may take a while before you see it in the app. This is because the broker’s administration department manually checks whether the ascription matches the details of your account. In most cases it is processed within 24 hours. Is it correct? Then your balance is immediately visible in your vault.

This is how you link your bank account (IBAN):

1. Open the app and log in if necessary;
2. Press “Vault”;
3. Then press “Deposit Euros”;
4. Press “Top Up”;
5. Now enter the desired amount and press “Choose Payment Method”;
6. Choose the payment method. In most cases that is iDEAL;
7. Process the payment;
8. Done deal! Give BLOX a moment to check the deposit.

How does the BLOX app work?

The BLOX app is not rich in bells and whistles, but it is built so that even your grandma and grandpa can buy crypto with it. After you download the app, register and log in, it will start on the main screen “Markets”. This is followed to the right by the menus “Vault”, “Invite” and “Settings”.

Markets

The crypto market is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, unlike the stock market. When you are sleeping, someone in America or China is trading. Partly because of this, crypto can go down fast, but can also go up fast. The broker from Nijmegen therefore considers it important that you are able to always keep an eye on things. In the app, they keep track of all the prices and charts of the offered crypto.

In the menu of markets you can select your favorite crypto coins and tokens as favorites to navigate faster and buy and sell the crypto in question. You can also set price alerts, so you know when the price has reached a certain price and can quickly buy to get in low or sell to take your profits.

Vault

The name kind of gives it away. You can think of the in app vault as a wallet, where your credit and crypto are safely stored and kept. You don’t want your funds and crypto to be at risk, which is why BLOX always uses the best security measures. In this menu you can see the following when you’ve already traded:

• Your balance;
• The total value of your vault and the return;
• The investments made and their history.

When you press “Balance” you can top up your balance, as explained in “Linking bank account“, withdraw from it and find the history of both. However, it is not possible to withdraw and deposit crypto from the app. You can read more about the vault or wallet in our dedicated wallet page.

Invite

Through this menu, after confirming your identity, you can use a code and share it with acquaintances in your area. By doing this the acquaintances receive free credit and you earn a percentage over the transaction costs.

Settings

The menu of settings speaks for itself what you can do with it and is divided into five topics:

1. Account;
2. Promotions (if running);
3. Settings;
4. Support;
5. Legal.

What we would like to highlight is “Support”. Under support you can easily contact the BLOX customer service. The best way to do so is explained is on our dedicated contact page.

Buying crypto with the BLOX app

Is the deposited money visible in your vault? Great! That means you can now buy crypto with the BLOX app. You can buy crypto from as little as 1 euro. Do you have a crypto in mind? For example Bitcoin or Cardano. Do you think it’s the right time to buy? Then take the following steps in the app to start your crypto purchase:

1. Open the app and log in if necessary;
2. In “Markets” swipe down for the “Search” bar;
3. Enter there the crypto you want to buy and press on it;
4. Press “Buy”;
5. Enter the desired amount and then press “Preview Order”;
6. Check your order;
7. Everything to your liking? Then press “Confirm purchase”.
8. Simple as that!

Your purchase will be deposited in your vault. To find the order details, click on your “Investments”. Selling is done the same way, but via the “Sell” button.

BLOX app alternatives

If you find beforehand or find out later that BLOX’s app is too limited, there are also alternatives. It depends on what your requirements are which provider suits you better. For example, if you miss depositing and withdrawing crypto in the app, then you can switch to Coinmerce, Binance or Knaken. If you need advanced options like candle charts and limit orders, then Binance is again the best option. If you want more different crypto and cheaper prices then Bitvavo is a good option. In addition to the ones mentioned earlier, LiteBit and Bitladon also have an app that allows you to buy and sell crypto. So there is plenty of choice.
