Step 2: Deposit Rupiah

Pintu is just one option. This course uses Pintu because it's legal and supervised in Indonesia. There are other ways, like buying SOL from a seller (P2P / OTC) or using another exchange.
If you buy from a seller, make sure they're trustworthy, because scams are common.

  1. On the home screen, tap Deposit and choose a method (bank Virtual Account, e-wallet, or QRIS).

Common mistakes

  • Downloading the Pintu app from a link that isn't official.
  • Using a family member's or friend's bank account, so the deposit or withdrawal gets rejected.
  • Depositing a lot at the start out of greed, when you should only use money you're ready to lose.

A clean setup is the first step to reducing . Don't rush into a big deposit out of greed.
