Bitfinex users can purchase cryptocurrencies through their payment cards.
The process is finalised through third parties: OWNR and Mercuryo.
Full and intermediate Verified users will be able to choose between OWNR (for USD Tether - USDt) and Mercuryo (for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USD Tether (USDt), Algorand (ALG), and Basic Attention Token (BAT)) gateways.
Unverified users will only have access to Mercuryo which will run its own verification process before allowing to purchase BTC, ETH, ALG, and BAT.
Process of Purchase
