START PAYMENT PROCESS

Enter your email and click Continue. Then check your inbox for a verification code from Moonpay. Type that into Moonpay in Ledger Live, agree to the terms and conditions by ticking the box, then click Continue. If this is your first time using Moonpay you’ll need to do a quick KYC check. Just pause this video here, complete the verification steps, and come right back. Now select a payment option. You can pay with either a bank card or with a bank transfer.

CARD PAYMENT

If you choose to buy with a debit or credit card you’ll need to fill in your bank card details and confirm the transaction. This confirmation process may vary depending on the bank and card issuer, but it’s pretty intuitive so just follow the steps on your screen. Confirm your order by checking your card details and Bitcoin account one last time, tick the box that authorizes Moonpay to debit your card, then click Buy now. When you see “Processing transaction”, Moonpay is processing your order and will send you the BTC asap. You can also find your order details including the transaction cost and order ID, which you’ll need if you have to contact Moonpay’s customer service. That’s it for the bank card. You can close the app or leave it open until the BTC is delivered, and Moonpay will even send updates directly to your inbox. The whole transaction usually takes under 10 minutes. Once the BTC has reached your account it will show as delivered in the app.
