    Select Ethereum (ETH) or USDC. Make sure to choose the token that has the Base network icon pinned to it.

  3. Enter the amount:
    Input the amount of fiat currency you want to spend. The platform will automatically load the route that offers the best return for your transaction.

  4. View payment options:
    To explore all available quotes for the chosen provider, select the tab that says "Credit & Debit Card." Then, tap the payment method ("Credit & Debit Card") at the top of the Quotes screen to view all payment options, including:

    • Apple Pay
    • Google Pay

    • Bank transfer
  5. Select your preferred provider:
    A list of live quotes will appear, sorted by price in descending order. Choose the provider that works best for you.
