Learn the simple steps to buy a wide range of cryptocurrencies directly in Best Wallet. Buy cryptocurrencies like ETH, USDT, and BNB using a credit or debit card, Apple or Google Pay, bank transfer, or local methods.

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

When buying crypto in Best Wallet, your new cryptocurrency tokens will be sent directly to your wallet, therefore avoiding the slow and expensive transfer process when buying independently.

You can either watch our video tutorial or follow the steps below.

Step 1: Getting started

There are several places you can start your crypto purchase in Best Wallet. It's important to note that the wallet you start the purchase in will be the wallet that receives your new crypto. So if you want to buy crypto into an imported or created wallet, make sure to select it on the home page and then start the purchase process!

To begin, you can either tap the "Buy" button on your wallet card from the home screen or head to the Trade tab.

Once you're on the Trade page, hit "Buy" from here to be brought to Onramper.

Both starting points will bring you to the same in-app Onramper page, where you can set up your crypto purchase.

Step 2: Setting up your crypto purchase

Once on the Onramper widget, you will be able to set up your purchase. First, you can set what currency you are buying in, and then the crypto you want to buy.

By pressing "USDT", you will see a list of cryptocurrencies.

Once you've selected what cryptocurrency you want to buy - for example, Ethereum - you can set which payment method and which provider you'd like to use.

First, select which provider suits you. Because Onramper is an aggregator of crypto purchase providers, it will suggest the provider that is best for your specific purchase.

However, there are many considerations, such as best price, best performance, speed of purchase, and KYC checks.

Once you've selected which provider suits you, the next thing to do is see which payment methods are available.

You can choose which payment method suits you the most - credit card, bank deposit, Apple Pay, and so on.

Explore the options best suited for you, but often purchases via Apple/Google Pay or bank card will offer the quickest and most convenient purchase.

Once you've decided which provider and what purchase method, enter the amount you want to buy and double-check all the details.

Once you're happy with your purchase, hit "Buy ETH" at the bottom.

Step 3: Purchasing through the provider

This will connect you to the provider for your purchase.

All you need to do is open Topper in a new tab - this will either keep you within Best Wallet or open your device's browser.

Once that is done, you may have to open an account with the provider. This depends on the provider, but with Topper, you will have to set up an account with an email address or an Apple or Google account.

Depending on where you reside, you might also have to do an identification check, which is an unavoidable part of buying cryptocurrency and will be necessary as per the provider's requirements.

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 you've finished your KYC, you will be able to confirm your purchase. Keep a note of any Transaction ID or receipt the provider gives you.

You may also have to verify/authorise 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 Best Wallet!

Step 4: Receiving your new crypto in Best Wallet

Once you have completed your purchase in the provider, you can leave the Buy page and return to Best 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 in showing the tokens you bought, but that is to be expected, especially if buying Ethereum ($ETH) or a token on the Ethereum network, as there are often delays in processing transactions due to network congestion.

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

You will also be able to see your purchase by going to the Transactions tab on your home screen. Again, your purchase may take some time to appear in your Best Wallet app.

Once you press on the transaction, it will tell you the transaction status and a breakdown of sender/receiver and fees.


How long will it take before your crypto shows in Best Wallet?

Depending on what crypto you’ve bought and the provider of the purchase, it could take anywhere between a few minutes, a few hours, or even a few days.

You can check your purchase status in the Transactions tab in the Best Wallet app, which will offer updates on the status of your purchase on the blockchain.

If your transaction in your Best Wallet is marked as "Initiated" or "Pending", this just means it is being processed on the blockchain.

Remember, you can further 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 left your account.

However, it's best to wait a few hours before troubleshooting your purchase, as crypto purchases can be a lengthy process.
