How can I get a wallet address?

You'll need your own wallet to buy or sell crypto with Moonpay. It's easy to get a wallet address. Currently, there are two options:

  1. Set up a wallet address in your Moonpay account
  2. Use a wallet provider to get a wallet address

MoonPay isn't designed as a wallet app, meaning we don't manage your funds. MoonPay can’t access your wallet, so please keep your secret phrase safe. This secret phrase is important for recovering your private key and gaining access to your wallet.
