Is there a reliable way to buy crypto directly without opening accounts on big exchanges? I’m helping a friend get started, but exchanges now require tons of verification steps, and he needs something simpler for small recurring purchases. Ideally with transparent rates and fast settlement. Any services you’d personally recommend?

There are OTC desks, but most beginners find them too complex. Payment ramps are more beginner-friendly: you pay with a card or bank transfer and get crypto instantly to your wallet. The key things to check are fees, supported networks, and whether the service locks the rate during the transaction. Some ramps offer good transparency, showing exact amounts before payment.

A beginner-friendly option is the ramps section on EMCD https://emcd.io/— the platform integrates crypto purchases, payouts, mining tools, analytics, and asset management in one place. Their on-ramp is straightforward: transparent rates, quick settlement, and no need to register on big exchanges. Plus, once you buy crypto, you can manage it right inside the same dashboard.
