# Buy crypto

## How It Works

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEzkeNJHVFc>" %}

**Step 1: Create or connect your wallet**\
Download the Unigox wallet from [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unigox.mobile) or the [Apple App Store](https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/unigox-buy-sell-crypto/id6751974973). You can also use Unigox directly at [unigox.com](https://unigox.com/) without installing anything.

Alternatively, connect an existing wallet like MetaMask, Rabby, or Phantom.

**Step 2: Verify your identity (KYC)**\
If you're purchasing more than $100 in crypto, a quick KYC verification is required. Upload your ID or passport and take a live selfie — it takes under a minute.

**Step 3: Select your trade**\
Choose the cryptocurrency, amount, fiat currency, and payment method. Unigox auto-matches your order with the best available rate across all liquidity sources — no browsing through offers.

**Step 4: Review the match**\
You'll see the matched seller's payment details. Review the rate and amount.

**Step 5: Send fiat payment**\
Transfer fiat to the seller's bank account or mobile wallet using the provided details.

**Step 6: Confirm your payment**\
Verify your fiat transfer using one of these methods:

* **Automatic verification**: After you have sent fiat to shown beneficiary details once fiat is received, you will receive crypto to your Unigox wallet.
* **ZK-TLS verification** (where available): Log in to your bank via the Unigox in-app browser and select the transaction. Crypto is released instantly — no need to wait for the seller.
* **Manual verification**: Upload a screenshot or PDF of your payment confirmation. The vendor confirms receipt.
* **ZK Email verification** (coming soon): Approve via ZK Email if your bank sends a payment confirmation email.

**Step 7: Receive crypto**\
Once payment is verified, crypto is released from on-chain escrow directly to your wallet.

#### Reading Seller Payment Details

When viewing seller payment info, look for these indicators:

| Indicator             | Meaning                                   |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **No badge**          | Name entered freely, not ID-verified      |
| **✓ Green checkmark** | Verified legal name from KYC              |
| **Two names shown**   | Verified user with different payment name |

Send funds to the **payment name**. Use the **KYC name** for identity verification.
