3. Place Crypto Order

Using the Buy/Sell widget on the Coinmama home screen, select Buy as shown below.

Next, use the drop-down menu to select the type of cryptocurrency you would like to buy off the Coinmama exchange. As shown in the example below, we will be buying Bitcoin in this guide.

After choosing the cryptocurrency, you would like to purchase; enter the amount in fiat currency for which you would like to buy crypto. Based on this amount, Coinmama will provide you with the amount of crypto you will receive according to current exchange rates.

Please note that Coinmama also takes a small fee for any transaction made on their platform. This means that the final amount of crypto you receive in exchange for your fiat currency will be slightly less than the market value.

Once you have entered the amount of fiat currency and are happy with the exchange rate shown, click the blue button that reads ‘Buy.’

4. Enter Wallet Address

After clicking ‘Buy,’ you will be redirected to the page shown below. Here you will be asked to enter your crypto wallet address. This could either be the private key of your wallet or the mnemonic seed for your HD wallet. Either way, this is so that Coinmama can send your purchased cryptocurrency to you in a safe location from where you can access and interact with it.

If you do not have a crypto wallet, you will definitely need to create one in order to buy crypto on Coinmama. To find out more, read our Beginner’s Guide to setting up a Crypto Wallet here.

5. Complete Purchase

After this, Coinmama will ask you to select a payment method and enter the relevant payment details. Since Coinmama is a worldwide cryptocurrency exchange service, users can pay using debit or credit cards, bank transfers, and even Apply Pay.

Once you have entered your payment information, select ‘Buy’ for the last time. Congratulations! You have just purchased your first cryptocurrency using Coinmama.

6. Confirmation

For card payments as well as Apple Pay, Coinmama takes about 10 minutes to confirm the purchase. This is because the transaction needs to be confirmed by the cryptocurrency network (in this case, Bitcoin) before the amount can be transferred to your crypto wallet.

For crypto purchases made by wire transfer, the transaction can take a little longer to be made. Typically, it takes about 1-2 business days for a crypto purchase by wire transfer to be confirmed. Please note that due to this small latency period, the amount of cryptocurrency you eventually receive might be slightly more or less than the initial amount quoted to you by Coinmama. This is because of the high volatility of the prices of cryptocurrencies, which tend to fluctuate on a daily or even hourly basis.

Summing Up

So there you have it! That’s really how easy it is to buy crypto on Coinmama. If you are new to cryptocurrency, you will find that Coinmama is extremely easy to navigate and provides its users with a simple interface on which to manage their crypto purchases.
