Users can purchase crypto assets using a credit/debit card or leveraging a third party, both of which serve as a fiat on-ramp gateway. They only differ in the operation process. Using a credit/debit card, users do not need to jump to the platform of the third-party payment provider for the payment, and they can complete all the purchase process on AscendEX once directly binding their cards to their accounts. With the Credit/Debit service, users can buy crypto in a faster speed by skipping the actions required by the third-party payment method.
