Get up to 25% off trading fees: sign up with code Bestrader. Join Fomo here (opens in a new window). Fomo's standard trading fee is about 0.5% per trade, so the discount adds up fast when you trade often.
One of Fomo's selling points is that funding your account is simple. You do not have to bridge assets across chains or manually handle gas, which is usually where beginners get stuck. Here is how depositing works and how to avoid the common snags.
Before you deposit: attach the discount
Set up your account through our Fomo link and enter code Bestrader first. That attaches up to 25% off trading fees before any money moves, which is the easiest time to do it.
How funding works on Fomo
Fomo is built to take the friction out of getting money in. Instead of juggling bridges and gas, the app handles the chain complexity for you. In practice that usually means:
- Stablecoin deposits such as USDC, sent to your in-app wallet.
- Card or Apple Pay style funding, so you can top up without already holding crypto.
Because Fomo is non-custodial, you are funding a wallet you control, not handing money to the app to hold. Confirm the current supported methods in the app, since available options can change by region.
Step by step
1. Open Fomo and go to the deposit or add-funds screen. 2. Choose your method (stablecoin transfer, or card/Apple Pay style funding if available in your region). 3. If depositing crypto, send only a supported asset on a supported network to the exact address shown. Double-check it. 4. If using card funding, follow the on-ramp prompts. 5. Wait for the balance to confirm, then you are ready to trade.
Start with a small amount you are fine losing while you learn the app. You can always add more.
Common deposit issues
- Wrong network or asset. Sending an unsupported token or using the wrong chain can lose funds. Only send what the app specifies.
- Address typos. Always copy-paste and verify the deposit address. Never trust an address sent to you in a DM or by "support."
- Regional limits. Card and Apple Pay style funding may not be available everywhere. Check what shows in your app.
- Minimums and fees. On-ramps can have minimums and provider fees separate from Fomo's trading fee.
Security while funding
Never share your seed phrase or private key with anyone during funding. No legitimate deposit process needs it. If a page or message asks for it, it is a scam. Our guide on how to trade Solana meme coins safely covers wallet safety in more depth.
After you deposit
Once funded, keep your costs in check. Fomo's standard fee is about 0.5% per trade, and with code Bestrader you save up to 25% of that. Use the fee calculator to see your real round-trip cost before you start trading actively. New to the app overall? Start with the Fomo beginner's guide.

Attach code Bestrader through our Fomo link first for up to 25% off fees, verify every address, and start with a small amount. Nothing here is financial advice.
