CoolWallet has partnered with leading crypto payment platform MoonPay to offer you a safe and convenient integrated crypto purchasing service on our CoolWallet app. Let’s learn more about this new celebrity favorite, which counts Justin Bieber and Snoop Dogg as early investors.
What is MoonPay?
With the simple aim of increasing cryptocurrency adoption, MoonPay created a secure software solution that enables people globally to participate in the crypto world. Beginning with its crypto purchase service, MoonPay is expanding its market to allow users to buy and sell cryptocurrency and NFTs through several major convenient payment methods. Currently, MoonPay is supporting more than 80 digital assets and has served more than 5 million customers around the world.
MoonPay launched in 2019 with a small team of two young entrepreneurs – Ivan Soto-Wright and Victor Faramond. In November 2021, MoonPay closed its Series A funding round at $555 million, bringing its valuation to an incredible $3.4 billion. Some of the celebrities who participated in the investment were already users of MoonPay and realized the potential of NFTs, Web 3.0 and cryptos. They believe that Web 3.0 is inspiring the entertainment industry, and enables them to reimagine the way to create community and build new value.
Why should I use MoonPay with the CoolWallet App?
MoonPay is now supported and integrated into our CoolWallet app (iOS/Android). This enables you to easily purchase crypto in a very simple and safe way and store it safely on our CoolWallet in secure cold storage! Here’s how.

Via the CoolWallet app, you only need to select the fiat, crypto, and the preferred purchase amount to complete a crypto purchase transaction. CoolWallet’s app will automatically help you to list all available crypto addresses, and you can simply select the one you choose rather than copy the address from one page to another. The whole purchase procedure can be completed within a few minutes. Once a crypto purchase transaction is successfully completed, your purchased crypto will be secured by CoolWallet.

How to Purchase Crypto with Fiat with CoolWallet and MoonPay (Step-by-Step Guide)
In this CoolWallet MoonPay Crypto Purchase guide, we show you how to use the integrated MoonPay fiat deposit in the CoolWallet App in order to buy your favorite cryptocurrencies by credit card. The process might seem a bit tedious and long for your first purchase, but it’s actually pretty quick and subsequent orders are even faster once you’ve verified your KYC identity.
Know Your Customer (KYC) refers to the verification of a customer’s identity, typically by a financial institution. Customers are required to provide personal information. The information is used to ensure that the customers are not involved in financial crimes such as corruption, bribery, money laundering, and terrorism financing. If you do not complete the KYC process, you may not be able to access some features on a cryptocurrency exchange.
If you have already previously purchased crypto via MoonPay and completed their KYC process for the wallet address you are going to use, feel free to skip steps 1, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
Friendly reminder: Please check with your card issuer if your credit card is allowed to purchase crypto.
