Can I Use Apple Pay to Buy Crypto?

fomoFebruary 08, 2026

Yes! On fomo, you can fund your account instantly using Apple Pay. No bank transfers, no waiting days for deposits to clear, no complicated on-ramp processes.

Why Apple Pay for Crypto?

Traditional ways of buying crypto often involve friction:

• Bank transfers - Can take 1-5 business days to clear
• Wire transfers - Fast but expensive and complicated
• Debit cards - Often blocked by banks for crypto purchases
• Credit cards - Usually prohibited and may incur cash advance fees

Apple Pay cuts through this friction. One tap, Face ID or Touch ID confirmation, and your funds are ready to trade.

How Apple Pay Works on fomo

Funding your fomo account with Apple Pay is straightforward:

1. Open the fomo app and go to add funds
2. Select Apple Pay as your payment method
3. Enter the token you want to buy
4. Confirm with Face ID or Touch ID
5. Start trading - tokens are available immediately
