Buy lets you purchase tokens in Phantom using a debit card, Apple Pay, PayPal, or a bank transfer. Your purchase is handled by a third-party provider such as Stripe, MoonPay, or Revolut, not by Phantom. The provider is the one that delivers the tokens to your wallet.
If you're seeing Add Cash instead of Buy, your region uses Phantom's Cash flow. See Add Cash to Phantom.
Because each provider operates independently, the following all vary by provider and region: tokens available to buy, payment methods you can use (debit or credit card, Apple Pay, bank transfer, PayPal, and so on), purchase minimums and limits, fees and exchange rates, identity verification (KYC) requirements, and how long delivery takes after payment.
In some regions, no providers are available yet. If you don't see any providers in the Buy flow, see No providers are showing up for alternative ways to fund your wallet.

FAQ
Which providers are available in my region?
See Onramp providers in Phantom for a full list of providers and their availability.
Can I buy any token this way?
No. Popular tokens such as SOL, ETH, USDC, and BTC are generally available, but others such as DOGE, PEPE, and other meme coins may not be. A token needs to be supported both by Phantom and by at least one provider available in your region.
Buying tokens on Monad and HyperEVM is also not supported at this time.
How do I know which provider handled my purchase?
The provider's name is shown during checkout and in the email receipt they send after the transaction. If you're not sure, check your email for a message from MoonPay, Topper, Stripe (sent as Link), Coinbase, or another provider. You can also check your card or bank statement. The charge shows the provider's name, not Phantom's.
Once you've identified the provider, see Onramp providers in Phantom for their support contact details.
Why is Phantom redirecting me to Meld?
Meld is a payment infrastructure platform that some onramp providers use to process purchases. If you're redirected to meldcrypto.com or meldphantom.com during checkout, it means the provider you selected routes its checkout flow through Meld. This is expected and safe. You're still completing a purchase through your chosen provider, just on Meld's platform.
If you have questions about the purchase, contact the provider you selected at the start of checkout. See Onramp providers in Phantom for support links.
Common issues
What Phantom can and cannot help with
Because purchases are handled by a third-party provider, Phantom cannot speed up or cancel purchases, issue refunds, access your provider account, or resolve identity verification (KYC) issues. For any of these, contact the provider directly. See Onramp providers in Phantom for support links.
No providers are showing up
In some regions, no providers are available in Phantom yet. UPI and PhonePe are also not supported as payment methods. If the Buy flow doesn't work for your situation, you can still get tokens into your Phantom wallet two other ways:
- Buy on an exchange and transfer in. Purchase tokens on a centralized exchange such as Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken, then send them to your Phantom wallet address. Make sure to select the correct network when withdrawing from the exchange.
- Receive from another wallet. If you already hold tokens in another wallet, you can send them directly to your Phantom wallet address on the same network.
For instructions on how to receive tokens in Phantom, see Receive tokens in Phantom.
Payment method keeps being declined
Your bank or card issuer may block crypto purchases by default. Try a different payment method (debit card, bank transfer, or Apple Pay), or select a different provider at the Buy screen. If the decline comes from the provider's side, contact their support team directly. See Onramp providers in Phantom for support links.
Identity verification not working
Providers may require identity verification to comply with financial regulations. If verification is failing, contact the provider directly. Phantom cannot access or assist with provider-side KYC issues. See Onramp providers in Phantom for support links.
Account is blocked
If a provider blocks your account, the restriction comes from their compliance team. Phantom cannot see why you were blocked or unblock your account. Contact the provider's support team directly. See Onramp providers in Phantom for support links.
Tokens haven't arrived
First, identify which provider handled your purchase by checking your email receipt or your card or bank statement. The provider's name, not Phantom's, will appear on the charge.
Then:
- Check your inbox for a receipt or order confirmation from the provider.
- Look up the transaction status on the provider's website or app.
- Contact the provider if the delay exceeds the timeframe shown in your receipt.
See Onramp providers in Phantom for support links.
Unexpected fees or limits
Purchase limits, fees, and exchange rates are set by each provider and vary. To compare, go back to the Buy screen and select a different provider. See Onramp providers in Phantom for a full list of available providers in your region.
