🔄 Steps to Buy ETH via Exchange

1. Choose a Crypto Exchange

There are many reputable exchanges that support ETH purchases. Choose one that:

• Operates in your country

• Accepts your local currency

• Has a good reputation and security record

2. Register an Account

You’ll need to:

• Sign up with your email and a password

• Provide personal details for identity verification (KYC)

• Upload a government-issued ID and proof of address if required

This step ensures compliance with KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations.

3. Deposit Funds

Once your account is verified, deposit funds using methods such as:

• Bank transfer (wire, ACH, SEPA)

• Credit/debit card

• PayPal (on supported platforms)

⚠️ Note: Deposit fees and processing times vary by exchange and payment method. Check the exchange’s fee schedule for details.

4. Buy ETH

After your funds have cleared:

• Go to the trading section of the exchange

• Select ETH/EUR, ETH/USD, or another currency pair

• Enter the amount you wish to buy

• Confirm your purchase

5. Withdraw ETH to Your Wallet

Once purchased, transfer your ETH to your wallet (e.g., MetaMask or WalletConnect-compatible wallet) that you’ve connected to Mintable.

🔐 Storing ETH in your personal wallet gives you full control over your assets and is more secure than leaving it on an exchange.
