Monero is an easy way to pay online and in stores. Download a Monero wallet to your phone or computer and start to send and receive money worldwide – no restrictions.
Monero is a private, secure and accessible alternative to banking:
To get started, all you need is a desktop or mobile wallet such as Feather Wallet or Cake Wallet.
Your wallet gives you a Monero address, with which you can send and receive money, as well as check your balance. Pay with a click of a button – no technical skills required!
Monero doesn't require any personal details, government ID or bank account, which makes Monero a uniquely private and financially inclusive payment method.

After receiving Monero, you can exchange it to physical cash (e.g. via LocalMonero), hold it as savings or buy products/services with Monero.
While a simple Monero address is enough to receive payments, Monero Integrations offers a convenient payment gateway for online stores and BTCPayServer offers an all-in-one solution for online stores, physical points-of-sale and fundraisers.
