# Account Top-Up

To invest on the GetRealty platform, you need to top up your own crypto wallet with USDC on the Polygon network.

**If You Logged In via MetaMask**

Simply make sure you already have enough USDC (Polygon) in your MetaMask wallet to make purchases, as well as a small amount of POL (MATIC) to cover transaction fees.

**If You Registered via Email**

You will still need to connect your own crypto wallet to the platform before making any investments. Make sure your wallet is funded with:

* USDC – main investment currency on the platform.
* POL (MATIC) – used to pay transaction (network) fees.

Make sure you have enough of both before making any purchases.

### Funding Options

1. **Credit or Debit Card / Bank Transfer**
   * You can top up your wallet using Stripe, the platform’s trusted payment provider (if supported by your wallet).
   * Choose your currency and method of payment.
   * No fees are charged by GetRealty for using Stripe.
2. **Direct USDC Transfer from Another Wallet**
   * Send USDC (Polygon network) to your wallet address.
   * Double-check the network type — USDC on Polygon (MATIC) is not the same as TRC20 or ERC20.
