What are Round Ups?
Round Ups automatically turns your spare change into bitcoin.
To use it, navigate to the Round Ups page and click "Activate". Select all of the accounts that you would like to use for Round Ups.
Whenever you make a purchase with the linked account(s), the purchase amount will be rounded up to the nearest dollar. Coinbits keeps a tally of these Round Up amounts and buys bitcoin for you when the total exceeds $20.
How do you calculate the amount of spare change to invest after my purchases?
We partner with a software provider called Plaid to connect you external financial accounts to your Coinbits account. It also allows us to view the amounts and business line item names associated with your transactions.
Does Coinbits keep a record of my purchase details?
No, we do not. Each time you sign on to Coinbits, your transaction data is retrieved via Plaid.
Can I use Round Ups to accelerate my savings beyond just spare change?
There are two ways to do this:
Set a Multiplier – You can multiply your Round Ups by 2, 3, 5 or 10. For example, if you made a transaction resulting in a $0.10 Round Up, and you had your multiplier set to 2x, the transaction would result in an addition of $0.20 to your Round Up total.
Set a Whole Dollar Round Up – You can add a Round Up to purchases that happen to come out to a whole number. For example, if you made a transaction that was exactly $4.00 and you had Whole Dollar Round Up is turned on, the transaction would result in an addition of $1.00 to your Round Up total.
