Frequently asked questions
How do I buy ETH with cash?+
Enter the amount you want to spend, pick your currency, and press Compare quotes. SwitchFi fetches live offers from licensed on-ramp providers and sorts them by how much ETH you receive. Pick an offer and complete the payment on the provider's secure checkout — the ETH is delivered directly to your wallet.
Can I buy ETH with a credit or debit card?+
Yes — Visa and Mastercard credit or debit cards are supported, alongside Apple Pay, Google Pay and regional bank transfers such as SEPA, Faster Payments or wire. Card purchases typically settle within minutes.
How long does buying ETH take?+
Most card and mobile-wallet purchases are near-instant — minutes from payment to ETH in your wallet. Bank transfers take as long as your bank needs (often 10–15 minutes for SEPA or Faster Payments).
Is there a minimum amount to buy ETH?+
Yes — limits depend on the payment method and provider. As a guide, current catalog limits are around $4 – $5,246 per transaction; the exact range is shown before you confirm.
Do I need an account or KYC to buy ETH?+
You never need a SwitchFi account. The on-ramp provider handling your payment performs identity verification (KYC) as required by law in your region — usually a quick one-time check on their site.
Does SwitchFi hold my ETH or my money?+
SwitchFi is a non-custodial interface: payments and KYC happen on the licensed provider's site, and the purchased ETH is sent straight to the wallet address you provide. SwitchFi never holds your funds or your keys.
Which networks can I receive ETH on?+
ETH can be purchased on 6 networks: Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum, Linea, Optimism, zkSync Era. Pick the network above (or in the widget) before comparing quotes — the provider delivers on the network you selected, so make sure your wallet supports it.
