# How to buy crypto with fiat?

#### A simple guide to buying cryptocurrency.

You can easily buy crypto with fiat money, for example, using USD to purchase Bitcoin. The majority of major global paper currencies are all classed as fiat, so you can get trading straight away!

Let’s get started.

* Visit [bitoftrade.com](http://bitoftrade.com/) and select “Start Trading”.
* From the top-left options, (“Swap”, “Leverage”, “Fiat”) click “Fiat”.

* Sit back and wait for the exchange to be made!

*\*Please note that identity verification is an ordinary procedure for fiat-to-crypto transfers. This is the only time you’ll ever need to complete KYC verification, as it doesn’t apply to standard crypto-to-crypto exchanges.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bitoftrade.com/for-traders/trading-platform/quick-start/how-to-buy-crypto-with-fiat.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
