Buying cryptocurrency with our services and paying for it using different methods is possible.
Though purchasing with a card is considered to be the most popular option, there are others. Depending on your location<\/strong>, you might be presented with different payment methods that we can offer.
One of these methods is a direct SEPA bank transfer<\/strong>. This article explains how to buy cryptocurrency using a SEPA bank transfer.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the checkout stage, if you are located in a country that belongs to the EEA<\/strong> (European Economic Area<\/strong><\/em>), you can choose "Euro Bank Transfer SEPA<\/strong><\/em>" as one of the payment methods.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/img><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once you select this payment option and press "Continue<\/strong>", you will be transferred to the order summary, where you must\u00a0verify your email address<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/img><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Please enter a valid email address<\/strong> you can access and click<\/strong> that you have read and agreed to the Terms and Conditions <\/strong><\/em>and Privacy Policy<\/strong><\/em> once you have done it. After that, once you press "Continue<\/strong>", an email verification code will be sent to your inbox, and you will need to enter it in the pop-up that appears on the screen:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/img><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/img><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

After your email has been verified, you will need to provide your personal details<\/strong> and the billing (or residential) address<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/img>\"\"<\/img><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

After filling out the needed information, you will be asked to verify your identity through a specialized service called Onfido.<\/strong><\/em>
You can find a detailed step-by-step guide on verifying your identity live using the Onfido service here: How can I verify my identity live through Onfido?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once you have finished verifying your identity, you must submit information about the bank that will process the payment and execute it<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can choose the bank from the list provided in the drop-down menu<\/strong>. It is automatically generated based on your country:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/img><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Note: <\/em>Not all banks<\/strong> in your country can be selected to make this purchase. You can only choose the ones from the list.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once you select the bank<\/strong>, enter your bank account number, confirm your agreement to the Privacy Policy and the Terms, and press "Deposit," – you will be automatically taken to your bank<\/strong>, where you must finish the payment<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/img><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

First, you must log in to your bank account as usual.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/img><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once you log in, you will see the purchase summary and need to confirm it through your bank in a way that is usual to them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the payment is done, you will see a notification on the screen about the payment being processed<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n

You will be informed via email about the outcome of the payment attempt.\u00a0
Please note that a SEPA bank transfer might take up to a maximum of 3<\/strong>\u00a0business days<\/strong>, though it usually happens much quicker.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Should the payment be approved, a payment approval email<\/strong> will be sent, followed by a confirmation email<\/strong> <\/em>asking whether you have received the cryptocurrency a few hours later.\u00a0
You will also be emailed if you need to redo the verification or if the transaction is cancelled or declined.<\/p>\n
