# Buy Crypto via Onramp

On-ramp and off-ramp services on PingMe are powered by **external providers** integrated into the app. These are specialist fintech and crypto infrastructure companies that handle the conversion between fiat currencies (like EUR, PHP, VND, INR, etc.) and stablecoins such as USDC.

{% hint style="warning" %} <mark style="color:$primary;">**Please read before proceeding.**</mark>

<mark style="color:$primary;">Fiat on-ramp and off-ramp services displayed within PingMe are provided by</mark> <mark style="color:$primary;"></mark><mark style="color:$primary;">**independent third-party vendors**</mark><mark style="color:$primary;">, not by PingMe directly.</mark>

<mark style="color:$primary;">This means:</mark>

* <mark style="color:$primary;">Each provider operates under their</mark> <mark style="color:$primary;"></mark><mark style="color:$primary;">**own terms of service, privacy policy, and compliance requirements.**</mark>
* <mark style="color:$primary;">You may be required to complete</mark> <mark style="color:$primary;"></mark><mark style="color:$primary;">**identity verification (KYC)**</mark> <mark style="color:$primary;"></mark><mark style="color:$primary;">with the provider directly.</mark>
* <mark style="color:$primary;">Exchange rates, fees, and processing times are</mark> <mark style="color:$primary;"></mark><mark style="color:$primary;">**set by the provider**</mark> <mark style="color:$primary;"></mark><mark style="color:$primary;">and may vary.</mark>
* <mark style="color:$primary;">PingMe does not have access to, control over, or responsibility for transactions processed through these providers.</mark>

<mark style="color:$primary;">PingMe integrates these services to make your experience seamless — but the transaction itself happens between</mark> <mark style="color:$primary;"></mark><mark style="color:$primary;">**you and the provider**</mark><mark style="color:$primary;">.</mark>

<mark style="color:$primary;">**Always review a provider's terms before initiating a transaction.**</mark>
