We recommend Coinbase, they are the largest Bitcoin broker in the world with more than 40 million customers worldwide so you can be confident in their service. When you register you will have to verify your account during the setup process but it's easy to do and of course you only ever have to do it once.

TIP: Buy at least $100 of Bitcoin as your first purchase and you'll receive an extra $10 worth of Bitcoin as a FREE Bonus.

The add account screen will open as seen in the screenshot below. Note that the available options will vary depending on which country you are in.
