Auto-Buy lets you automate your Bitcoin purchases. When enabled, eligible CAD Interac e-Transfers are automatically used to buy Bitcoin at the current market price and send it directly to your default whitelisted Bitcoin address.
⚙️ Before You Enable Auto-Buy
Auto-Buy requires a default whitelisted Bitcoin address.
If you haven't added one yet:
log into your 1Bitcoin.ca account
open Profile
scroll to the Whitelisted Bitcoin Addresses section
click Add Address
add your Bitcoin wallet address
set it as your default whitelisted address
Once a default address has been added, you'll be able to enable Auto-Buy.

remain on the Profile page
scroll to the Auto Buy section beneath Whitelisted Bitcoin Addresses
enable Auto Buy
Future eligible CAD Interac e-Transfers will automatically purchase Bitcoin and send it to your default whitelisted wallet.
📬 How Auto-Buy Works
When Auto-Buy is enabled:
your CAD Interac e-Transfer is received
Bitcoin is purchased at the current market price
the Bitcoin is automatically sent to your default whitelisted Bitcoin address
No separate withdrawal confirmation email is required, similar to Recurring Buy and Limit Orders.
⚠️ Important Reminder
Before enabling Auto-Buy, make sure:
your default whitelisted Bitcoin address is correct
you control the receiving wallet
you're comfortable with Bitcoin being delivered automatically after eligible deposits
Bitcoin transactions are usually irreversible once sent.
