You can now buy crypto on VALR using your credit or debit card. In order to get started, you need to first deposit rands using your card.
In order to deposit via credit or debit card, simply navigate to your Rand wallet on the VALR website or app and click “Deposit”.
Next, navigate to deposit via card. Please note that at present VALR supports:
- South African issued VISA and MasterCards
- Cards should be 3D Secure enabled
- There is a daily deposit limit via credit or debit card, which is visible on the deposit screen
You may either use a saved card or input new details.
After confirming the amount, you’ll be directed to PayGate to fill in your information and complete your deposit. Please always ensure that you are on the correct URL when redirected to PayGate, which is:
https://secure.paygate.co.za/PayHost/process.trans
Once complete, your credit or debit card should be saved to your profile for future use.
Complete the 3D Secure process to authenticate a ZAR deposit and thereafter funds should reflect in your VALR account.
Deposited rands should now be available for you to trade crypto.
If your credit or debit card deposit fails for any reason, funds should be returned to your card once the authorisation hold on your card expires. To confirm when an authorisation hold expires, you should reach out to your card-issuing bank regarding their policy in this regard.
