How to buy/get BUSD

We will guide you on how to buy/get BUSD with your wallet.

Buying BUSD directly inside MetaMask is the quickest way (instant transfer) to get your BNB into the MetaMask wallet. The delivery time of both the Transak and MoonPay is fast.

Buying BUSD inside MetaMask saves you time; you don’t need to buy somewhere else and transfer it to the wallet.

In this article, we’ve explained how you can buy BNB inside the MetaMask wallet with Transak and MoonPay.

Before starting, in case you’ve not added the Binance Smart Chain Network to MetaMask, you need to add it to buy and store BNB inside MetaMask.

You can refer to this step-by-step guide to this guide: Add BSC to my Wallet.

In this guide, we will be using the MetaMask Wallet extension for speed and smooth interaction. You can also use the MetaMask mobile application since the whole process is almost the same.
