Looking for a reliable way to buy cryptocurrency with your credit or debit card? MEXC makes it simple. The platform accepts both Visa and MasterCard across 38 countries, with transparent 2% fees and fast processing times. You'll need Advanced KYC verification first, but once that's complete, you can purchase crypto within minutes.
The card purchase feature sits right in MEXC's main navigation - you can't miss it. When you click [Debit/Credit Card], you'll land on their secure payment page that connects with major payment providers worldwide.
Here's what makes MEXC different: the process is streamlined with real-time market rates. Your transaction goes through immediately at the current price, no waiting around.
The platform automatically shows you which payment options work in your country. If you're in Europe, you'll see EUR options. Users in supported regions get their local currency options. Pretty straightforward.
Complete your Card Linking by clicking through "Add Card".
- Click on "Add Card"
- Complete the process by entering your Debit/Credit Cards' details.
Please note that you can only pay with cards in your name.
Payments via Visa Card and MasterCard are well supported.
You can only link the Debit/Credit Cards in the Supported Countries.
Card linking is pretty standard stuff - enter your card number, expiry date, CVV, and billing address. The key thing? The card must be in your name and match your KYC information exactly. Even small differences in how your name appears can cause problems.
MEXC works with cards from 38 countries split into three regions. European users can use USD, EUR, or GBP with cards from 29 countries including Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and most of the EU. Middle Eastern users get AED support across UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt. Latin American users can use BRL in Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Colombia.
Most regular Visa and MasterCard debit and credit cards work fine. Prepaid cards are hit-or-miss depending on your bank's crypto policies. Business cards usually work but might need extra verification steps. Virtual cards from digital banks? Results vary by region and bank policies.
One important tip: make sure your card's billing address matches your MEXC account address perfectly. We're talking exact spelling, proper apartment numbers, correct postal codes - everything. Mismatches trigger security reviews that can delay your purchase for hours or even days.
Start your crypto purchase via Debit/Credit Card after completing the card linking.
- Select the Fiat Currency for the payment. Currently, only EUR, GBP, USD, AED and BRL are supported.
- Fill in the amount in Fiat Currency you intend to buy with. The system will then automatically display the amount of Crypto you will get based on the real-time quote.
- Select the Debit/Credit Card you intend to use for the payment and proceed to click on "Buy Now" to initiate the crypto purchase.
Note: Real-time quote is derived from Reference price from time to time.
The purchasing process is where MEXC's limits come into play. You can buy up to $5,000 USD (or equivalent) per transaction, with daily limits of $10,000. Other currencies have similar limits: €5,000 single/€10,000 daily, £5,000 single/£10,000 daily, 18,000 AED single/36,000 AED daily, or 28,000 BRL single/56,000 BRL daily.
When you enter your purchase amount, MEXC's system calculates how much crypto you'll receive based on current market rates. This rate updates constantly, but once you hit "Buy Now," the price locks in. Smart move: choose your card's native currency if possible. If your card bills in USD but you select EUR, your bank might charge extra foreign exchange fees on top of MEXC's 2% processing fee.
The pricing mechanism pulls data from multiple sources to stay competitive. You're not getting some random rate - it's based on real market conditions with a small spread built in to cover costs.
Your order is currently being processed. 1. You will be redirected to your bank's OTP transaction page. Follow the on-screen instructions to verify the payment. 2. Bank card payment processing is usually complete within minutes. Purchased crypto will be credited to your MEXC Fiat Wallet once the payment has been verified.
After hitting "Buy Now," you'll get redirected to your bank's verification page. This is where you'll enter that SMS code or use your banking app to approve the transaction. It's required for security and there's no way around it.
Why choose MEXC over competitors? The fees are reasonable. While many exchanges charge higher fees for card purchases, MEXC sticks to 2%. Processing speed is solid too - most transactions complete within minutes, not hours like some platforms.
MEXC's fraud detection doesn't go overboard either. Some exchanges decline legitimate transactions constantly, forcing you to contact support. MEXC strikes a better balance between security and user experience.
Coverage is another advantage. Many competitors restrict entire regions or make verification unnecessarily complex. MEXC's 38-country coverage with clear, upfront requirements makes it accessible to more users.
Customer support is available in multiple languages. The platform stays online consistently too - no mysterious downtime during market volatility when you actually want to buy crypto.
Your order is now completed. Check the Orders tab. You may view all of your previous Fiat transactions here.
Once your transaction completes, the crypto goes straight to your MEXC Fiat Wallet. This is separate from your main trading wallet - think of it as a holding area for purchases made with fiat money.
Can you buy crypto without verification? No, and here's why that's actually good news. MEXC requires Advanced KYC for all card purchases. This typically takes 24-48 hours and involves uploading government ID and doing facial verification. Some platforms advertise "no KYC" card purchases, but these come with severe limitations, higher risks, and potential legal issues. Banks also tend to block transactions to unregulated platforms more often.
MEXC's verification process ensures your transactions are protected and your account stays secure. When you complete KYC, you're getting full regulatory compliance and consumer protection. The Advanced KYC involves document verification and facial recognition.
Your Orders tab becomes your transaction history - timestamps, exchange rates, fees, and unique transaction IDs for each purchase. This detailed record-keeping helps with tax reporting and gives you reference numbers for customer support if needed.
MEXC charges 2% for card purchases, which covers payment processing costs and fraud protection. This fee shows up clearly before you confirm your purchase - no hidden charges.
Your bank might add their own fees if you're buying in a foreign currency. These typically run 1-3% and appear on your card statement separately from MEXC's fee. To avoid this, pick your card's native currency when possible.
Common issues? Bank declines are the biggest problem. Many banks automatically block crypto transactions by default. If your purchase fails with a generic error, call your bank and ask them to authorize cryptocurrency purchases. This usually fixes the problem for future transactions.
Address verification failures happen when your card's billing address doesn't exactly match your MEXC KYC information. Even tiny differences in formatting can trigger this. Double-check everything matches perfectly - apartment numbers, postal codes, even how abbreviations are written.
Technical errors during busy periods sometimes cause transactions to fail automatically. These typically get refunded without you doing anything. If you see repeated technical errors, try purchasing during off-peak hours or contact support.
Card linking problems often come down to basic issues - expired cards, insufficient credit, or cards that aren't enabled for international online purchases. Make sure these basics are covered first.
You can only pay with cards in your name.
A charge of approximately 2% fee is applied.

MEXC operates under strict regulatory frameworks that vary by region. The platform maintains licenses and partnerships with regulated payment processors to ensure legal operation across supported countries. Users must follow their local crypto regulations and tax obligations.
Advanced KYC verification comes from international anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations. This process requires government ID and facial verification, taking 24-48 hours to complete. Without KYC, you can't access card purchase features regardless of your location.
Third-party card use is prohibited to prevent money laundering and ensure transaction authenticity. MEXC's systems automatically compare cardholder names against KYC accounts, rejecting transactions where names don't match exactly. This applies to family members' cards and business cards not registered under your account name.
MEXC supports 38 countries across three currency zones. Europe gets USD/EUR/GBP support across 29 countries including major markets like Germany, France, Spain, and Italy. The Middle East has AED support in UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt. Latin America uses BRL in Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Colombia.
Single transaction limits: $5,000 USD, €5,000 EUR, £5,000 GBP, 18,000 AED, or 28,000 BRL. Daily limits are double these amounts. MEXC doesn't specify minimum purchase amounts, but most transactions need enough value to cover processing costs.
Usually it's your bank blocking crypto transactions, insufficient funds, expired cards, or address mismatches between your billing info and KYC details. Contact your bank to pre-authorize crypto purchases, verify your card works, and make sure addresses match exactly.
Card linking happens within minutes once you enter details correctly. Advanced KYC verification, which you need before buying, takes 24-48 hours for most users.
MEXC's documentation doesn't specifically mention prepaid cards. They need cards in your name that work with Visa/MasterCard networks. Prepaid cards might face restrictions depending on your bank's crypto policies, so check with your card provider first.
