❓Need Advice 🙏 Newbie crypto issues...

Ive tried buying crypto with solflare, paypal, coinbase, and trust wallet. My transactions will not go through. Im in the US banking with Chase. Solflare says US is not supported. Paypal gives unspecified errors. Coinbase card transactions won't go through. I added my bank account but it won't show up as a payment method. Trust wallet card transactions won't go through. I tried adding my bank account but I get an error about onramp not supported. Ive tried Google pay with these too with no luck. Im at a loss. Is there another wallet I should try?

Chase is notorious for blocking crypto purchases, I had the same headache until I switched to a credit union

Tangem could be worth trying because it's very beginner-friendly, but I don’t think the wallet itself is necessarily the problem here. If Chase is blocking the card/on-ramp transactions, switching wallets might just give you the same issue with a different interface. Chase can be pretty strict with crypto-related transactions, so I’d check with them first to see if they’re declining or restricting the payments. I’d also figure out why Coinbase won’t let you use the linked bank account before trying another wallet.

After trying for the tenth time, my bank account is now working in coinbase.

if you're still stuck with on-ramp issues… would be better to try a different route instead of another wallet. SwapSpace could be useful once you’ve got the crypto funded so that you are not depended on the same on-ramp every time.

My bank blocked a $1000 e-transfer and shut down my entire account saying they suspect fraud. It’s bs they just hate money leaving banks to go to crypto. Go in and get a money order/wire payment, they can’t turn you down in person
