# How to buy crypto?
1. Head to your wallet homepage and find the button: on Extension, you can find the **'Buy/Sell'** button on the left of your wallet view, which will redirect you to the MetaMask Portfolio. If you're on MetaMask Portfolio already, select the **''Move Crypto''** tab, and then click ''**Buy''**
2. If you're a first-time user, you must select your region, which will generally default to your current location. If you've used this feature before, MetaMask skips this step and uses the region you selected last time, which is saved in local storage. From the drop-down menu, search or scroll until you find the country where your payment method (card/bank account) is registered. US users will then be able to select their state. If your region is not currently covered by at least one of our provider and payment method combinations, we'll let you know at this point.
3. On the next screen, select your payment method (you can always adjust this afterward if you change your mind):
4. Choose from Apple Pay/Google Pay (this will adjust according to your device), debit/credit card, PayPal (US only, excluding Hawaii), and bank transfers (with the mechanism adjusted according to your region, KYC details, and currency: e.g. UK Faster Payments, ACH for the US, Pix for Brazil, and SEPA for Europe). Make sure you're comfortable with the estimated duration and payment limits detailed next to each option.
5. Select the token you want to buy, using the you want to buy field at the top of the screen and input your preferred amount, i.e. the value (in fiat) of the token you want to buy.
6. Choose your quote. After a brief wait, you'll see the quotes available based on your preferences. They're arranged in descending order based on how much crypto you receive, with the best-value option at the top. Pull down from the top of the screen to force refresh the quotes. On MetaMask Portfolio, once you select your region and your payment method, the above steps are compressed into one single screen, where you can input your amount, adjust the payment method (if you wish to do so), and select your quote.
7. When you pick a provider, you may have to complete KYC if you've never used their service before.
Once your order is complete, you will see the below screen:
