Buy Lumens in LOBSTR wallet with VISA or MasterCard
LOBSTR partners with Indacoin to give you the option to buy XLM with your debit or credit card
Buy XLM with Visa or MasterCard
Over the years LOBSTR has introduced thousands of users to Stellar network. We are always looking to streamline the onboarding experience and keep the balance between ease of use and advanced features.
New people often find roadblocks on the way to their first investment. Actually, “where can I buy Lumens?” was one of the most common questions that we heard from our users.
Building more fiat on/off ramps is the key to onboarding more users and driving adoption.
With the existing options, however, the process is not always user-friendly. Often, there’s no direct fiat-to-XLM on-ramp and users have to move and trade funds multiple times before finally getting Lumens in their own wallet. Sometimes users have to pay high fees, wait several days to complete complex KYC process or face strict geo restrictions.
We decided to solve these challenges and build the fiat on-ramp that we could confidently recommend to our users — global, fast, easy to use, with low fees and integrated with the wallet.
We are thrilled to announce that it is now possible to purchase XLM using debit and credit cards directly in LOBSTR wallet through our new partnership with Indacoin.
Bridging the gap between fiat and Stellar Lumens, this feature enables fast and secure payments using either Visa or MasterCard and allows users to purchase Lumens and other crypto currencies using LOBSTR wallet at a fair price with low fees in over 170 countries.
This feature is now live in the web interface at https://lobstr.co/buy.
It is also available on Android and iOS in LOBSTR — just make sure to update to 4.6.0+.
