Buy your cryptocurrency


Inside the sales page, decide and choose the account you want to transact with, in this case, the account you want to pay off with, for your digital currency purchase. Bear in mind that there can be wait times -but that depends on the means of payment you are using.

Credit and Debit card, as well as your USD wallet, are instant, but bank transfers may take three to seven days to complete the transaction.In case you want to select your funding source, tap on the “Payment” button. The options should be on the Payment Method Page.


After making your selection, you’ll automatically be taken back to your previous destination, the sales page -where you can now enter the amount you want to part with.


To be precise, at this point, you should be looking at the USD box, located at the left side of your screen. After you’ve inputted the amount, the value of the coin will populate either in the BCH, BTC, LTC or ETH box -automatically. You can as well enter the amount you wish to purchase in the cryptocurrency box located on the right-hand side, which will then show its dollar value right on the USD box.


As it is obvious, keep transaction fees in mind, which basically will depend on the amount you purchase. Meaning, you’ll do a bit of math since fees are not included in the amount.


So if you’ve purposed to buy $100 worth of bitcoins via a bank transfer, you’ll have to type 102.99 -the extra amount being the fees charged for the service.


Another important point to note is that there are limits to abide by, these could be your bank’s weekly transaction limits and so on.

Selling your cryptocurrency


Well, when it comes to selling Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, or even Bitcoin the process is exactly the same as that of buying. The only thing you’ll need to consider -after you’ve reached “Sell,” is choosing the account you want to be paid with.


In this case select “Deposit to” either your bank account or USD wallet right within the “Destination Account” page.
After deciding on the account to deposit your cash, you’ll be taken back to the sales page.


Now, input the digital money amount or its dollar value and don’t forget to factor in the fees. If done, tap “Sell” if you are on iPhone or Next if on an Android device, (the button placed in the upper-right corner.) 

You can now finalize the transaction if you are satisfied with the summary breakdown by tapping on “Confirm sell.”
