# Adding Funds to MetaMask

**How to Add Funds to a MetaMask Wallet on a PC:**

If you are using MetaMask on your PC, you will probably access the platform from a browser extension. There are two primary methods to add funds to your account. You can buy Ether (ETH) or Ether Tokens (ERC-20) directly on MetaMask or transfer funds from a crypto exchange. Check out how to use these methods.

**Buy ETH or ERC-20 on MetaMask:**

Depending on where you live, you may be able to purchase Ethereum directly on MetaMask using a credit card or debit card. You should know that this method can incur additional fees, and you might not receive the ETH immediately as transactions can take time to complete. Let’s look at how to buy ETH on MetaMask.

### Step 1

Open the MetaMask wallet browser extension and tap “Buy ETH.”

### Step 3

Follow the prompts given by the service. These generally include Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements and filling in your credit card information.

Once you are done with the instructions, your funds should appear in your MetaMask wallet.

It’s important to look carefully at the transaction terms when choosing a third-party service to fund your account. For example, Wyre accepts credit/debit cards and Apple Pay. These options charge a 3% transaction fee and cap the transaction amount at USD 500 per week. US citizens can also transfer money using an ACH transfer. This method charges a minimal fee of 0.75% and has a larger threshold of up to USD 25000 per week. There is an additional network fee to incentivize miners to complete your transactions.

### Add Funds From a Cryptocurrency Exchange

Another way, and in most opinions the best way, you can fund your MetaMask wallet with cryptocurrency by making a deposit from a reputable exchange such as FTX, Coinbase, or Binance. ETH can be bought on FTX and deposited into MetaMask without incurring a withdrawal fee.
