Want to buy cryptocurrencies but don’t know where to start? The first step is to deposit euros on the Young Platform exchange.

To buy cryptocurrencies on Young Platform, you can deposit money via bank transfer, through credit or debit cards, or using a gift card. Choose the deposit method you prefer and start your journey in the world of crypto too!

Where to start?

For all the deposit methods we will go over in this article, the starting point is the same!

From the Home or Wallet section, click on “Deposit”. Once you have selected Euro, you will see all available deposit methods! For cryptocurrency deposits, read this guide.

1. Deposit by bank transfer

The first method we see in this guide on how to deposit at Young Platform, is by bank transfer. Once you have chosen this method, we are assuming you will proceed by SEPA transfer from a foreign (non italian) bank account.

Attention! Before proceeding, you will be asked to enter the amount of money you intend to deposit, at which point a request will be made that must be confirmed. In addition, it is mandatory to enter the reference number for the transfer.

The maximum amount you can deposit by bank transfer depends on your Young Platform account level. The minimum amount you can deposit by bank transfer is 20€. The level of your account is determined by the level of verification of your profile, particularly regarding the origin of the funds you intend to deposit.

Below are the deposit limits per verification level of your account.

  1. The first level is unlocked by completing identity verification. Single transaction limit: €4,000, annual limit €25,000.
  2. To access the second level, it is necessary to provide a bank statement, utility bill, or certificate of residence issued by your municipality. Single transaction limit €8,000, annual limit €50,000.
  3. To join level three, a questionnaire must be completed and a tax return provided. Single transaction limit 30,000€, annual limit 200,000€.
  4. A recorded interview is required to access the fourth level. Single transaction limit €60,000, annual limit €200,000.

For further information on identity verification levels, please contact [email protected]

Once you have selected the method by which you wish to make the transfer, you will be able to view Young Platform’s bank details.

The account from which you make the deposit must be in your name or co-owned by you and must match exactly the name under which you registered with Young Platform. Ordinary SEPA transfers from foreign (non Italian) accounts should take between 2 and 5 working days.

2. Deposit via debit, credit or prepaid card

To buy cryptocurrencies on Young Platform, you can deposit via debit and credit cards that use the Mastercard and Visa circuits. This deposit process is very simple.

  • Select Deposit from the Home or Euro Wallet;
  • Choose Euro;
  • Choose the credit or debit card option;
  • Add a new card or select an already added card;
  • Enter the amount, taking care to respect the minimum amount of 20€;
  • Continue to view transaction summary;
  • Confirm.

Your bank may ask you to authorise the transaction from their app or by SMS

The first time you add a card as a payment method, a small transaction will be processed through which you will be charged a few cents. This is a standard procedure to verify the card; the cents will be credited back to you automatically as soon as the procedure is successful.

Unlike bank transfers, depositing by card is immediate, so you should have received the amount you intended to deposit. Visa and Mastercard fees of 2.2% + € 0.25 apply to this type of deposit. Also for this deposit method, the card you intend to use must be in your name.

3. Deposit with Google Pay or Apple Pay

You can also use Google or Apple Pay to deposit quickly. To do so, you must have enabled Google Pay or Apple Pay on your device and linked at least one payment card

Let’s see how this deposit method works:

  • Select Deposit from the Home or Euro Wallet;
  • Select Euro;
  • Choose Google Pay or Apple Pay;
  • Enter an amount, starting from a minimum of 20€;
  • Confirm.

Done! Your top up should be immediate.

The commission charged for this type of deposit is the same as for card deposits, i.e. 2.2% + 0.25€.

4. Deposit with Young Cash voucher (if available in your country)

To buy cryptocurrencies on Young Platform, you can also deposit cash through Young Cash (if available in your country) by purchasing a voucher at participating tobacconists, bars and shops. 

To deposit to Young Platform with a voucher, simply go to one of the stores that provide them (mostly bars and tobacconists) and buy the one that suits you. Once purchased, you will have to select the “YoungCash” deposit method, and then the “Voucher” section. Enter the alphanumeric code on the receipt and you’re done!


The cash deposit is credited to your Euro Wallet within 15 minutes and transaction fees of 2% are deducted from the amount.

5. Redeem a Gift Card

Gift Cards are gift vouchers from 20€ to 250€ that users can give to their contacts on Young Platform. If you have received a Gift Card, you can redeem it from the Young Platform app or web platform and use the credit to buy cryptocurrencies.

To redeem a Gift Card go to the ‘Profile’ or ‘Wallet’ section, click on the ‘Redeem Gift Card’ button and enter the code you received by email or SMS.

Done! The amount should have been credited to your Euro Wallet.

So, those are all the ways you can make a deposit with Young Platform to buy cryptocurrencies. Once you’ve made your first deposit, all you have to do is choose the crypto that’s right for you!
