# How to Buy Crypto from an Exchange

To get started on SBX, you’ll need to purchase crypto using your local currency (like **NZD**, **JPY**, **CAD**, etc.). Here’s how to do it safely and efficiently.

# 🔍 Step-by-Step: Buying Crypto for the First Time

### 1️⃣ Choose a Trusted Exchange

These platforms let you buy crypto using debit/credit cards, bank transfers, or even Apple Pay.

We recommend:

* [Coinbase](https://www.coinbase.com) - beginner-friendly with great security
* [Kraken](https://www.kraken.com) - excellent fiat support and low fees
* [Binance](https://www.binance.com) - largest global exchange with wide coin access
* [Swyftx](https://www.swyftx.com.au) - supports NZD, ideal for users in New Zealand
* [BitFlyer](https://bitflyer.com/en-jp) - top exchange for JPY (Japan)

🛡️ Always enable 2FA on your account for added protection.

### 2️⃣ Verify Your Identity (KYC)

Most exchanges require basic identity verification:

* Upload ID (driver’s license or passport)
* Take a selfie or complete liveness check
* Wait for approval (usually minutes to hours)

### 3️⃣ Deposit Fiat Currency

Once verified, add funds using:

* **Bank Transfer** (common for NZD and JPY)
* **Credit/Debit Card** (for fast funding)
* **Apple Pay or Google Pay** (depending on exchange and region)

💸 Common fiat options include:  
NZD (New Zealand Dollar), JPY (Japanese Yen), CAD, EUR

### 4️⃣ Buy Your Crypto

Choose the coin you want - for SBX, you’ll most commonly use:

* **Bitcoin (BTC)**
* **Ethereum (ETH)**
* **USDT (Tether)** or **USDC**

Enter the amount and confirm your purchase. The crypto will land in your exchange wallet.

### 5️⃣ Transfer to Your Personal Wallet

Don’t leave your crypto on an exchange unless you're actively trading.

* Open your **external wallet**
* Copy your **public wallet address**
* Use the exchange’s **Withdraw** or **Send** function
* Paste your address and confirm the withdrawal

⏳ Depending on the network, transfers can take a few minutes.

# 🧠 Final Tips

* Always start with a small test amount
* Watch for withdrawal fees (they vary by coin and exchange)

🎉 Once the crypto hits your wallet, you’re ready to deposit into SBX and start playing.
