Step 2: Selection and Payment Method

Select Ethereum on the Buy tab. A green border and a tick in the corner will indicate the correct selection. Below you will find the payment method. Make sure to select the one you want to use for this transaction if you have more than one set up. Finally type in the amount you want to purchase in your currency.

At the right hand you will see an overview of your transaction you are about to make including the amount of Ethereum you will receive and the Coinbase fee you will have to pay. Finally click the big blue button saying Buy Ethereum with the amount you want to purchase.

Step 3: Confirm the Transaction

You will now see a list with all details of your transaction and a final confirmation button for your transaction. You will see that there is a delay until you will receive your Ethereum because the money needs to be transferred from your bank to your Coinbase account. After you made sure that everything is in order you can click that big button saying Confirm Buy.

Step 4: Link Your Card

If you haven't linked your bank card with your Coinbase account before you will be asked to verify the two pending amounts send to your bank account. They should be worth $1.01 or greater and will prove that you are the owner of that account. After you entered the two amounts click the big blue button saying Verify Card. You will now be redirected to the starting page where you see the new Ethereum in your Portfolio.

Alternative Payment: Debit Card
