The purchase and redeem methods we can offer depend on your location. Our payment partners are licensed to operate in specific regions, so a method (for example a card, bank transfer, or a wallet like Venmo or PayPal) may not appear if none of our partners can support it where you are. We determine your location from your connection, not your account address.
If no purchase or redeem methods are available at all in your region, you'll see a "not available in your region" message in your wallet. This can change as we add partners, so it's worth checking back. If you believe you're seeing this in error, please contact our Support Team.
