  1. 01

    Get the receiving details

    Get the receiving address from the person, wallet, or service that should receive ETH on Ethereum. Also note the exact currency and network, the amount that needs to arrive, and any destination tag or memo. Keep those details open so you can compare them during checkout. The format examples below are deliberately shortened and false. The xxxx...xxxx section makes them unusable.

    Example address formats (fictional)
    • Hexadecimal, starts with 0x0x7a3fxxxx...xxxx92c1The same address may use lowercase or mixed-case checksum letters.

    Choose ETH on Ethereum

    Select ETH on Ethereum exactly as shown in the receiving details. The currency and network must both match. Similar names do not mean that two networks work together.

  4. 04

    Enter the purchase amount

    Enter the amount shown in the payment request. Some providers ask how much money you want to spend; others let you enter how much cryptocurrency should arrive. Check the label carefully. If an exact cryptocurrency amount must arrive, allow for any fee shown in the final quote.

    Doing this for the first time? Consider making a small test payment.
  5. 05

    Paste the receiving address

    Paste the address instead of typing it. Compare the first and last several characters with the original. If the receiving details include a destination tag or memo, enter it in the separate field. Never enter a recovery phrase or private key.

    Complete the identity check, if required

    If Coinmama asks for an identity check, follow the instructions and provide accurate information. Upload documents only inside the official website. Never let another person complete the check for you. Identity verification is required. Coinmama can request personal and contact details, a government-issued identity document, a selfie, and additional information for higher verification levels.

    Provide the purchase purpose, if required

    If asked, give the shortest truthful answer that fits your actual use. If the question is optional, you can leave it blank; do not volunteer unrelated personal details.

  8. 08

    Check the amount, fees, and delivery

    Review how much you will pay, every provider and network fee, the exchange rate, and how much cryptocurrency will reach the address. If a specific amount needs to arrive, make sure the delivered amount covers it.

  9. 09

    Make the payment with SEPA bank transfer

    Use a payment method in your own name and follow the card, bank, or wallet approval screen. Stop if another person is controlling your screen, tells you to hide the reason for the purchase, or asks you to ignore a warning.

  10. 10

    Confirm that the cryptocurrency arrived

    Save the order number and follow the provider's status until it says the cryptocurrency was sent. Then check the receiving wallet or service, or ask the recipient to confirm arrival. A payment receipt alone is not proof of delivery. Do not place another order while the first one is still processing.

  11. 11
    Purchase complete

    Done!

    Once ETH on Ethereum appears at the receiving address on the expected network, the purchase is complete. Keep the order number with your records.

Final check

Confirm that the cryptocurrency arrived

The purchase is complete when ETH on Ethereum appears at the receiving address on the expected network. A card or bank receipt only confirms the payment, not the delivery.
