Buying crypto within MetaMask is easy and curated. You don’t have to leave the wallet, there are a variety of payment options to fund your account, and you can play in the world of Web3 directly on the go.

With Sardine’s new instant ACH integration, you can buy crypto instantly with no settlement delays within MetaMask Mobile.

Instant ACH allows orders to complete in minutes instead of days like a standard ACH order, and works on holidays, unlike regular ACH.

ACH can be preferable to cards for some users according to Sardine because:

Instant ACH is more likely to work as paying with cards may be declined in 50% of purchases.
Instant ACH allows higher limits than cards.
