How a card purchase of Cosmos works
A card purchase usually combines payment authorization and the Cosmos order in one flow. The card issuer and payment processor authorize the funding before the exchange completes the order.
Card authorization is typically instant. Exchange confirmation and issuer checks can still affect when the purchased asset appears in the account.
The payment rail affects the estimated total cost. A card route adds a card-processing layer, while a funded bank-transfer route generally consists of the trading fee and spread after the deposit.
