How to send crypto from Bitso to MetaMask

This guide explains step by step how to use Bitso to convert your money into cryptocurrencies and send them to a MetaMask wallet. The process includes how to buy USDC and POL, install MetaMask, and transfer the funds using the Polygon network to use them on other platforms.

1. Buy crypto on Bitso (USDC and POL)

Buy USDC

1. Log in to the Bitso app.
2. Go to the “Wallet” or “Crypto” section.
3. Search for and select USDC.
4. Tap “Buy” and choose which funds to use (your local currency balance).
5. Enter the amount and confirm the purchase.

Buy POL to pay network fees

1. Repeat the same process, but selecting the POL token.
2. Buy a small amount (0.5 to 1 USD).
3. This token will be used to pay fees on the Polygon network.

2. Install MetaMask and set up the network

1. Go to https://metamask.io/
2. Download the browser extension or mobile app.
3. Create a new account and save the seed phrase.
4. Add the Polygon network.

3. Send USDC and POL to MetaMask

1. Open MetaMask and copy your address (on the Polygon network).
2. Go back to Bitso and select the crypto to send (first USDC, then POL).
3. Tap “Send” and paste your MetaMask address.
4. Select the network (if Bitso allows it) or verify that it’s compatible with Polygon.
5. Confirm amount, network, and address before sending.
