Telegram Wallet is a reliable and convenient way to buy USDT. It allows you to quickly and securely exchange cryptocurrency using the familiar Telegram interface. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to purchase USDT tokens with euros using the Telegram Wallet.
Step 1: Installing and Registering on Telegram
If you haven’t installed the Telegram messenger yet, download it from the App Store or Google Play. Registration is done via your mobile phone, so you’ll need to enter your phone number.
Step 2: Registering in the Wallet
You can access Telegram Wallet directly from the settings menu.
Click on the wallet icon to open it. The wallet interface is user-friendly and intuitive.
Scrolling down the list of assets, you will see your transaction history displayed below.
Step 3: Completing KYC Verification in Telegram Wallet
Before purchasing USDT, you’ll need to go through a verification process.
Telegram Wallet has a three-tier KYC system: “Basic Level,” “Extended,” and “Advanced.” To start, you need to obtain the “Basic Level.” You can then proceed to “Extended” and later to “Advanced.”
The levels differ in verification requirements and limits. Here are the details:
- Basic Level. Limit on crypto deposits – 3,500 EUR per day, 35,000 EUR per month. Card purchases – up to 300 EUR per day, up to 5,000 EUR per month. P2P transactions are limited (sales only).
- Extended. Limit on crypto deposits – 100,000 EUR per day, 1,000,000 EUR per month. Card purchases – up to 10,000 EUR per day, up to 25,000 EUR per month. P2P market purchase limit – 100,000 EUR per day, 1,000,000 EUR per month.
- Advanced. No limits on crypto deposits, card purchases, or P2P market purchases.
There are no withdrawal limits in the wallet—you can withdraw as much as you need. There are also no restrictions on P2P sales for the "Basic Level."
How to Obtain the "Basic Level"
For our purposes, having the basic verification level is enough. To start identity verification, go to the Telegram Wallet settings by clicking the gear icon on the main screen.
The settings will open. Click on “Identification Level” to start the KYC process.
A pop-up with brief information about verification will appear. Click "Continue."
You’ll see the “Identification Terms” information screen. Read the terms carefully. If you agree, check the box next to “I confirm” and click “Confirm and Continue.”
The wallet will request your phone number linked to Telegram. Click "Continue." Your number will be sent as a contact in the chat bot, and the wallet will "read" it. Depending on your messenger settings, a confirmation screen may appear. If so, confirm the contact sharing and click "Continue."
On the next screen, enter your full name and date of birth. Fill out the form and click "Send." Congratulations, you now have the basic KYC level.
Step 4: Buying USDT With Euros
To buy USDT in the Telegram Wallet, click the “+Top Up” button, which is located on the main screen below your balance amount. You will be offered several options: via a bank card, express purchase, P2P Market, or transfer from another wallet. Choose Express Purchase:
In the pop-up window, select one of the available cryptocurrencies that you want to buy and click "Continue."
Choose the fiat currency you want to use for the purchase. Let's select euros:
Enter the amount of fiat currency you want to use to buy the cryptocurrency, and click "Buy" at the bottom of the screen:
You will be offered payment methods. Choose the one that suits you and click "Continue." In our example, we will select SEPA Instant.
A seller search will begin, which may take a few minutes:
Once a seller is found, the payment details will appear, and you will need to send the specified amount in euros following the given conditions. After sending the payment, click the "I made a payment" button.
You will need to upload a bank receipt. Save the receipt on your smartphone and upload it by clicking the "Choose a file" button. After uploading the receipt, click "Confirm and Send."
Next, you will need to wait a while for the seller to confirm the transaction. Once the seller confirms the payment, the USDT will be credited to your balance.
Done! You have successfully purchased USDT. You can transfer it to an exchange, to your SMART Wallet, or use it directly for purchases in USDT.
