The new Bitcoin ATM in Interlaken is located at Bahnhofstrasse 23d, in the iPeople AG / iCoffee premises. Here, you can buy cryptocurrencies with cash and sell them for cash. Its proximity to the Interlaken West train station makes it easy to combine a visit with a train or bus trip or a stay in the city center.
Before you arrive, it’s a good idea to set up a cryptocurrency wallet, have your ID ready, and decide what type of transaction you’ll be making. Buying cryptocurrency and receiving cash after selling it require slightly different preparations.

Which cash currencies and cryptocurrencies does the Bitcoin ATM support?
When making a purchase, the machine accepts CHF, EUR, USD, and GBP. When selling cryptocurrencies, however, you can receive banknotes in CHF or EUR. Therefore, just because a currency is accepted for purchase does not mean you can withdraw that same currency.
Supported cryptocurrencies include:
- Bitcoin – BTC
- Ethereum – ETH
- Tether – USDT
- USD Coin – USDC
- Litecoin – LTC
- Tron – TRX
- Binance Coin – BNB
- Solana – SOL
The location description also lists the TRC20, ERC20, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and BSC networks. The availability of a specific network depends on the selected cryptocurrency. Before sending funds, compare the network specified in the transaction with the network supported by the wallet or platform you are using.
What should you bring to the Bitcoin ATM?
Before making a purchase, have cash ready and the address of your cryptocurrency wallet—preferably in the form of a scannable QR code. Check in advance to make sure your wallet supports the selected cryptocurrency and network.
You will also need a form of identification. At this location, verification requires scanning the document using the white scanner next to the machine. Follow the on-screen prompts during the transaction.
If you are collecting cash after selling cryptocurrency, bring your cash collection code. Before travelling, check that the transaction has received the required confirmations and that the Bitcoin ATM has enough banknotes available.
