Go to Add Funds → Buy With.
Choose BTC as the coin you're buying, and enter the amount in your currency.
Choose Card (Visa/Mastercard), add your card and enter the CVV.
Check the price and fees, then approve the payment with your bank.
Your BTC arrives in your Spot wallet.

Method 2: P2P, then convert to Bitcoin

Buy USDT on P2P in your local currency. Full guide
