Funding Your Bitget Account
The key steps are as follows:
Buy cryptocurrency (e.g. USDT) with FIAT currency (i.e. USD, AUD, CAD etc). If your futures exchange does not offer this facility, buy crypto with a Fiat exchange first, such as Coinbase, Binance, Coinspot, Kraken, etc...
[Note: some exchanges offer Fiat facilities to some countries but not others. You will need to check what's available in your location].
Swap/Trade your cryptocurrency for USDT (applicable if you've purchased or already own anything other than USDT, e.g. BTC, ETH, USD, AUD, etc..)
Send your USDT to Bitget (this only applies if you purchased on a different Fiat exchange)
IMPORTANT: when sending cryptocurrency, you need to select a Network which is available on both exchanges. For USDT, the lowest fees will be on the TRC20 network. If you are using Coinbase, you will need to use ERC20.
Sending Funds To Bitget

Click 'Deposit'
