Learn the simple steps to buy Base Chain assets in Best Wallet.

You can purchase ETH, USDC, USDT, BRETT, and several other tokens on Base in-app, using various payment methods, including credit or debit cards, Apple or Google Pay, bank transfer, or other local options.

By partnering with Onramper, a platform that aggregates and selects the best platforms to buy and sell crypto, Best Wallet offers you the most competitive prices and lower fees when buying Bitcoin.

When you buy Bitcoin in Best Wallet, your BTC is sent directly to your wallet, so you avoid the extra time and costs of transferring crypto from exchanges.


Watch our video tutorial:


Step 1: Select what token you want to buy

First, select what wallet you want to fund. Once you've found the right wallet, tap the "Buy" button on your wallet card from the home screen.

Next, select which Base asset you'd like to buy from the token list. You can scroll through the available chains to find the Base Chain or search by the token name.

Once selected, this will take you to our in-app buy page, where you can set up your purchase and be paired with a trusted third-party provider.

Step 2: Set up your purchase

On the next screen, you can set up your purchase. Start by entering how much you want to buy.

Next, select your preferred payment method.

Depending on your location, you can pay through Apple or Google Pay, credit or debit card, bank transfer, and other regional options.

Typically, options like Apple/Google Pay or card payments are the fastest and easiest. After selecting the payment method, you’ll need to choose the provider that suits you best.

Onramper will suggest the provider with the best rate and conditions for your purchase. However, you can explore options based on price, speed, performance, or the provider's Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements.

After selecting the provider, please double-check all the details — if it all appears correct, tap the "Buy ETH" button at the bottom.

Step 3: Purchase through the provider

This will connect you to the selected provider to finalize your purchase.

All you need to do is open the provider — this will either keep you within Best Wallet or open your device's browser.

Once that is done, you may need to create an account with the provider. For example, when using Topper, you will have to set up an account with an email address or an Apple or Google account.

You might also be required to complete an identification verification process based on the provider's policies. This ensures compliance with legal requirements and keeps your transactions secure.

This is never set or fulfilled by Best Wallet and is solely dependent on the crypto purchase provider. Best Wallet will never process or access any personal information from buying or selling crypto.

Once the KYC is complete, confirm your purchase and keep a note of any Transaction ID or receipt the provider gives you.

In some cases, you may also have to verify/authorize your crypto payment with your bank provider, depending on where you are located and your bank's policy on crypto purchases.

Reminder: Whilst this process is done via a third-party provider, your crypto purchase will go directly to your wallet.

Step 4: Receive your Base asset

After completing your purchase through the provider, you can leave the Buy page and return to Best Wallet.

Your Base asset will be sent directly to your wallet. If you encounter any issues, it's best to first contact the provider's support team, as they can track your purchase and troubleshoot any problems accurately.

There may be a slight delay before your new crypto appears.

Once deposited by the provider, your new asset will appear in your token list, and your wallet's balance will also be updated.

You can view the transaction by going to the Trade tab, then History.

In the History section, you will see all your transactions for that wallet.

Tap on the transaction to see more details, including any fees and the current status of your purchase.

Remember: Your Base asset purchase may take some time to appear in your wallet, and may not show up in your History section until it's in your wallet.


How long will it take for your new Base asset to show in Best Wallet?

The time it takes to receive your new crypto depends on the provider and the current network activity. It could take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, and in rare cases, a few days.

Remember, you can check the status of your purchase via the provider you used. They should have given you some sort of receipt/transaction ID that will help you track the progress of your crypto purchase.

If you've bought via your bank card, you can also check your online banking app to see if the money has been withdrawn from your account.
