You can buy crypto with a bank card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer and other payment methods, depending on your country. Purchases are handled by our partner MoonPay, directly inside NUFI, and the crypto is sent straight to your chosen NUFI account.
First time buying? Register and verify with MoonPay
The first time you buy, you'll need to create a MoonPay account and complete KYC ("Know Your Customer"), MoonPay's identity check. It's automated, takes a few minutes, and involves uploading an ID document such as a passport or driver's license. See which documents MoonPay accepts.
KYC helps prevent fraud and illegal activity. You only need to do it once; after that, you just sign in.

- On the Home screen, click Buy/Sell.

Good to know
- Payment methods and fees vary by country and are shown by MoonPay before you confirm.
- Hardware wallet accounts can receive purchases too: choose one in step 4. No device approval is needed to receive.
- Order status and settings: to track orders or manage payment methods, log in at moonpay.com with the email you registered with. For payment or KYC problems, contact MoonPay support, since NUFI can't see or change MoonPay orders.
