Ready to dive into crypto? If your Coinmetro account is set up and verified, you're just a few steps away from buying your first cryptocurrency on the Coinmetro platform. Whether you're an experienced trader or new to digital assets and looking for a quick, easy way to start, Coinmetro has you covered!
Here's how to get started.
🔐 Step 1: Verify Your Account
To unlock all Coinmetro platform features, you’ll first need to verify your identity:
✅ Simply go to your Dashboard and click “Verify My Account" to get started, or you can get started on your profile verification submission here.
Please note: Most profile verification submissions are typically approved within 24 hours; however, sometimes this can take slightly longer when we're experiencing a higher volume of sign-ups.
💳 Step 2: Fund Your Account
Before you can buy crypto, you’ll first need to add funds to your Coinmetro account.
You can deposit:
Fiat currency via credit card, Apple Pay/Google Pay, or bank transfer
Cryptocurrency, following specific instructions for each coin.
⚠️ Important: Some cryptocurrencies (like XRP) require extra details, such as a destination tag. Be sure to double-check these.
🪙 Step 3: Choose Your Trading Method
Decide how you’d like to buy your crypto on Coinmetro. You can use the Swap Widget for a quick and simple trade, the Exchange Platform for more control, or set up Auto-Invest (DCA) if you prefer a long-term approach.
