    • Confirm your email to activate the account.
  • Identity Verification (KYC)

    • Banks may treat card purchases as cash advances—use debit cards when possible.
  • Wallet Address
    • Coinmama is non-custodial—you must provide your own Bitcoin address.
    • Copy and paste the wallet address below so the BTC comes directly to us. 
    • Double-check the address before submitting.
  • Funds
    • Ensure your payment method has sufficient funds.
    • Expect ~5% in fees due to card processing and brokerage spread.
    • Coinmama clearly displays the full cost before confirming
