Seamless buying of crypto using fiat

Ledger users will no longer be required to purchase cryptocurrencies through external exchanges or fiat-to-crypto payment gateways. All a Ledger wallet holder will require is some fiat in their bank account and a corresponding fiat payment method

This is paramount to maximizing the security of crypto assets and ensuring ease of use of the hardware wallet since the additional steps requiring opening an account with a crypto exchange or fiat-to-crypto gateway will no longer be required in the buying process.

Whenever a third party was involved Ledger users were required to first exit the security of the devices to purchase coins and then store the coins on the wallet. The security of the coins before the coins got into the wallet was not guaranteed.

Nuvei guarantees maximum security

Simplex by Nuvei guarantees maximum protection against fraud, check backs, and other inconveniences that could occur during the purchasing process.

While Nuvei handles the security aspect, Ledger can focus on providing value to its users.

Besides just storing crypto assets, Ledger holders can use the Ledger live app to stake crypto assets, access various DeFi platforms, manage NFTs and also purchase cryptocurrencies including using Simplex by Nuvei.
