If you're new to the world of cryptocurrency and want to support your favorite creators, this guide will walk you through the process of onboarding onto Binance using a credit card and transferring funds to your Metamask wallet.
While you have the option to purchase crypto , we'll focus on onboarding with centralized exchange Binance using fiat currency.
Visit the Binance website () and click on "Register" to create a new account.
Fill in the required information, including your email address and a strong password.
Agree to the terms of service and click on "Create Account."
After creating your account, Binance may require you to complete a verification process to comply with regulatory requirements. Follow the instructions provided on the platform to complete the verification.
This process typically involves verifying your identity by submitting relevant documents like your ID card or passport.
Once your account is verified, log in to your Binance account.
Go to the "Wallet" section and select "Payment Methods."
Click on "Add a New Card" and enter your credit card details, including the card number, expiration date, and security code.
Follow the prompts to complete the card verification process.

Binance will process your transaction, and once completed, the purchased cryptocurrency will be credited to your Binance wallet.
Once your wallet is set up, copy the wallet address provided by Metamask.
Return to your Binance account and navigate to the "Wallet" section.
Find the cryptocurrency you purchased (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum) and click on the "Withdraw" option.
Paste your Metamask wallet address into the withdrawal address field.
