Popular cryptocurrency wallet Metamask started allowing instant bank funding for US customers to buy crypto. MetaMask's parent company Consensys announced the news, saying that users can turn their fiat into crypto due to integration with the fiat and crypto settlement platform Sardine.

Through its ACH-to-crypto solution, Sardine provides real-time fraud detection and allows users to transfer money. With the help of Sardine, users can pay directly from their bank account and receive cryptos or NFTs instantly.
To access the new “Instant Bank Transfer” option, MetaMask users need to comply with Sardine’s KYC process, which is available in 48 US states. In the future, New York and Hawaii will also be included.
MetaMask continues to diversify payment options for users. Earlier, this year the wallet announced integration with ApplePay, and partnership with payments solutions provider MoonPay.
