# Deposit

After logging in, click "Deposit." Funds will go directly into your Market.Cards balance and can be used once they arrive. We provide three deposit methods, depending on where your USDC currently is.

## **Option A: Transfer from Wallet**

This method is for users who have connected an external wallet and already hold USDC on the Base network.

1. On the deposit page, choose Transfer from wallet.
2. Enter or confirm the amount of USDC you want to transfer in.
3. Confirm the transfer in your wallet. The USDC will then enter your Market.Cards balance.

## **Option B: Receive Funds**

This method is for users who want to transfer USDC from an exchange or another wallet.

1. On the deposit page, choose Receive funds.
2. The page will show your Base receiving address and QR code. Copy the address or let the sending wallet scan the QR code.
3. From the exchange or wallet, initiate a USDC transfer and choose Base as the network.
4. After network confirmation, the USDC will usually appear in your balance within a few minutes.

{% hint style="info" %}
Market.Cards only accepts USDC on the Base network. Do not deposit assets from other networks, such as Ethereum mainnet, Polygon, BNB, or Tron, and do not deposit USDT, ETH, or other tokens.
{% endhint %}

## **Option C: MoonPay (Payment Partner)**

No crypto background needed — the whole flow happens inside the platform. It is suitable for new users who do not yet hold any cryptocurrency.

1. On the deposit page, choose MoonPay.
2. Enter the amount you want to deposit, then follow the prompts to pay by bank card. First-time use usually requires identity verification (KYC).
3. After payment is complete, the USDC will go directly into your Market.Cards balance, usually within a few minutes.

No network selection, no address copying, no ETH needed — this is the most convenient way to fund your account. MoonPay charges a service fee. The exact fee rate, supported payment methods, and available regions follow what is shown on the MoonPay page, and some regions or bank cards may not be supported.
