Buying crypto via OTC

Buying crypto is currently only available via web browser. If you're on mobile, open your mobile browser rather than the MAKE app.

Select Crypto on the main page, then Send, and OTC - Over the counter.

Select the account (the currency you want to use), the cryptocurrency you want to buy, and enter the amount. (Minimum amount is 1000 USD)

Add your Telegram handle at the bottom of the page, and click Buy crypto. Review the summary page, and hit Submit request. The system will ask for your MPIN.

After submitting your request, you'll be contacted on Telegram to execute the trade. You'll go through these steps:

1. Transfer the fiat amount you want to trade to the MAKE account (handle) @makecrypto. If you're unsure how to do this, see Sending money to another MAKE user.
2. Once the fiat transfer is received (usually instantly), MAKE will confirm the cryptocurrency price and the amount that will be bought. You'll then be asked to share the wallet address where the crypto should be sent and to confirm that you want to proceed.
3. After you confirm, the trade will be executed, and the cryptocurrency will be sent to the wallet address you provided.

Important: double-check your wallet details before confirming. Make sure the cryptocurrency, chain, and wallet address are correct. Crypto transactions are immutable and cannot be reversed if sent incorrectly.
