## Method 1: Buy Bitcoin with a card

1. **Verify your account.** [How to do it](https://exchangesteps.com/binance-identity-verification)
2. Go to **[Add Funds]** → **[Buy With]**.
3. Choose **BTC** as the coin you're buying, and enter the amount in your currency.
4. Choose **[Card (Visa/Mastercard)]**, add your card and enter the CVV.
5. Check the price and fees, then approve the payment with your bank.
6. Your BTC arrives in your **Spot wallet**.

## Method 2: P2P, then convert to Bitcoin

1. **Buy USDT on P2P** in your local currency. [Full guide](https://exchangesteps.com/how-to-buy-usdt-on-binance-p2p)
2. Move the USDT from your **Funding wallet** to your **Spot wallet**.
3. **[Trade]** → **[Convert]** → from **USDT** to **BTC** → enter the amount → **[Preview Conversion]** → **[Convert]**.
   Or use spot trading: the **BTC/USDT** pair → **[Buy]** → **[Market]**. [Spot trading guide](https://exchangesteps.com/binance-spot-trading)
