Examples

Bank transfers, debit cards, credit cards and payment apps can all be fiat on-ramp methods when connected to a crypto platform.

Why it matters

On-ramp availability is country-specific and often requires KYC. Fees and payment limits can vary widely.

Common mistake

Do not treat Fiat on-ramp as a universal rule. Exchanges, wallets and card apps may use the same term differently, especially around limits, fees, networks and account restrictions.

User action
