What payment methods are supported?
Meso only supports the following payment methods:
- Debit cards
- Apple Pay
Note that for Apple Pay it must still be a debit card that you use in your Apple Pay wallet. We do not accept credit cards.
Can I change the debit card I use?
Yes. There are two places you can update your card. The first option is via your Meso account by following these steps:
- Log in to your Meso account at https://account.meso.network
- Click on "Settings" in the top menu
- You will see an "Update Debit Card" button
Alternatively, you can add and remove cards before executing a transfer:
- When buying crypto through a partner choose Meso as your on-ramp provider
- Login to Meso
- Before clicking buy click on your card underneath the amount header (see image below)
- Add your new card and click save
Why only debit cards? Why not credit cards?
The primary reason is that your card issuer almost always declines credit card payments to purchase crypto.
Furthermore, although some credit card companies allow cardholders to make crypto purchases, they often treat the purchases as a cash advance (cash advances usually involve a cardholder using a credit card to withdraw money from an ATM) where there is not only a fee for the cash advance but then a higher APR on that balance. We believe this is not clear to users and a bad experience, so we have made the choice not to accept credit cards.
When will you accept more payment methods?
We are working hard to add direct bank transfers and Google Pay in the near future.
