Buy Crypto With a Card (In-App Fiat On-Ramp)

Most crypto apps make you set up an account on a separate exchange, buy crypto there, and then withdraw it before you can do anything. EscapeHub removes that step. You can fund your wallet directly inside the app using a payment method you already have, and be ready to trade in about a minute. This page explains how the in-app fiat on-ramp works and why it lowers the barrier to getting started.

Fund your wallet inside the app

EscapeHub lets you add funds to your wallet without leaving the app. You pick a payment method, enter an amount, and your wallet is funded - no separate exchange account and no transferring crypto in from somewhere else.

Supported payment methods are Apple Pay, Google Pay, and a credit or debit card. These are everyday options most people already have set up on their phone, so there is nothing extra to install.

No exchange, no withdrawals

The usual way to start trading involves several steps before you can buy a single token. EscapeHub collapses that into one: open the app, pick a payment method, and you are funded.

The old onboarding flow typically looks like this, and every step is a chance to give up:

  • Download a separate wallet app and write down a seed phrase.
  • Sign up for a centralized exchange and verify your identity.
  • Buy crypto on the exchange.
  • Withdraw it to your wallet and wait for it to arrive.
  • Only then start trading.

Ready to trade in about a minute

Because funding happens in the app, going from nothing to ready-to-trade takes about a minute. Tap a button, pick your payment method, and your wallet is funded.

This pairs with the rest of EscapeHub's mobile design: a one-tap self-custody wallet with no seed phrase and no MetaMask, and signless trading so there is no confirmation popup on every trade. Together they remove the steps that usually slow people down.

Why this matters for getting started

The in-app fiat on-ramp is mainly an accessibility feature. It means someone who has never used a centralized exchange can still fund a wallet and trade, using a card or mobile wallet they already trust.

EscapeHub is multichain, so once your wallet is funded you can trade across the supported chains (Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, BSC, and Solana) in the same app. The in-app fiat on-ramp is available on EscapeHub's native iOS and Android apps. The Android app is open for pre-registration on Google Play, and the iOS app is in App Store review.
