Not every buyer is the same. Trust Wallet supports multiple payment rails to match your preference and local availability.
Quick and convenient. Cards are usually the fastest way to buy retail amounts of crypto. Fees vary by provider and region.
Lower fees for larger purchases but can take longer. Ideal when you want to move bigger sums with better rates.
Third-party on-ramp integrations (within the app) let you convert local currency into crypto directly, with built-in KYC when required.
Buy tokens on-chain using other crypto assets. No KYC, and the trade happens in your wallet instantly (subject to gas & slippage).
Buy from another user directly — available in some regions. Trust but verify: use escrow features when available.
Download Trust Wallet from the official store, create a wallet, and securely back up your recovery phrase. Never share your seed phrase — Trust Wallet staff will never ask for it.
Open the app, tap the Buy button (or go to the token page and tap Buy). Choose your preferred provider and payment method. Enter the amount and select the token you want to receive.
Some providers require identity verification. Complete the KYC steps directly with the provider — Trust Wallet acts as the interface, but the provider handles verification.
Review the quote, fees, and final amount of crypto you'll receive. Confirm the purchase — the provider will process the payment and deposit tokens to your wallet address.
Buying crypto is easy — keeping it safe is up to you. Here are practical guardrails:
Your recovery phrase is the master key to your wallet. Write it down offline and store it in at least two secure locations. Don’t store it in plain text on cloud drives or messaging apps.
When selecting a payment provider, check provider fees, supported currencies, and reputation. Use official integrations inside Trust Wallet rather than unknown links popped up from ads.
If you’re buying a new token or using a new provider, do a small test transaction first. That reduces risk and helps you check that the flow completes as expected.
For crypto-native users, buying on-chain via DEX swaps is the most permissionless route. Swap a stablecoin or another token in your wallet for the desired token. This approach requires understanding of gas, slippage tolerance, and token contract addresses.
Set slippage conservatively for volatile or low-liquidity tokens, and choose appropriate gas speeds. If a trade fails repeatedly, do not keep increasing slippage — verify the token contract and liquidity first.
Cross-check token contract addresses against the project’s official channels to avoid scams and clones. Use reputable token lists where possible.
If your provider supports it, set up a recurring buy to dollar-cost-average into an asset.
Trust Wallet supports many chains. Choose the network that offers best fees and token availability for your trade.
For long-term holdings, consider moving large balances to hardware wallets or other cold-storage options you control.

Buying crypto doesn't have to be complicated. With Trust Wallet you get choice — card purchases, bank transfers, DEX swaps, and more — while keeping control of your keys. Use the method that fits your risk tolerance, timeline, and privacy preferences. And always secure your seed phrase.
