There’s more than one way to get started with cryptocurrency, but there’s only one way to buy crypto in the most convenient and secure way possible. Whether you want to hodl, invest, build your portfolio, or send money abroad, your first step is to buy the crypto you want through the brand new Buy feature in Trezor Wallet.

Why should you use it?

1. It’s secure

When you use the Buy feature in Trezor Wallet, your crypto will be delivered directly to the safety of your hardware wallet. You don’t have to worry about leaving it on an exchange or software wallet that could potentially be hacked or compromised.

If your crypto is stored on a device connected to the internet, or worse, if someone else — like an online exchange — holds the private keys to your crypto, then you’re at risk. Not your keys, not your coins.

2. It’s convenient

When you use your Trezor device with Trezor Wallet, you’re combining the incredibly secure environment of an offline hardware wallet with the convenient and straightforward interface of Trezor Wallet.

Trezor Wallet comes with all the features you need to easily manage your crypto — plus a few extra to make your life even easier. Use the labeling feature to organize your portfolio and keep track of your transactions. View your complete transaction history under the Transactions tab. Plus, you can create up to ten different accounts for each cryptocurrency, all protected by the passphrase feature.

Combining Buy, Trezor Wallet, and a Trezor device? Well, let’s just say you have three very good reasons already to use the new Buy feature.

3. It’s private

Our very first provider, Simplex, lets you pay with either your credit or debit card and is available worldwide. Any Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures are performed by Simplex, which means we don’t collect any data about your identity.

4. It’s fast

You can finish your transaction in no time when you pay with your credit card. KYC procedures are processed quickly and efficiently, meaning you can see your purchase in your wallet within minutes.

Things to know

If you’re on the Simplex page to fill out payment details, and you accidentally close the window, you can go back to the Buy tab in Trezor Wallet to pick up right where you left off — as long as the offer is still valid.

You can keep track of when an offer will become invalid by watching the small timer at the top of the offers section.

The exchange rate might change during the purchase process, depending on the amount of time it takes to pay for your order.
