# Buy crypto with fiat

{% hint style="info" %}
KYC is required if you want to buy crypto with fiat. If you choose not to complete KYC, all features will remain accessible except buying or selling crypto for fiat.<br>

Some other features also require KYC, such as accessing stocks and selling crypto for fiat. Once you complete KYC with Mass, you unlock all these features at once — no need to complete separate KYC processes for each one.

{% hint style="success" %}
A great thing to know about Iron: transfers face fewer bank checks than with Kraken, Binance, or Coinbase, since the funds move between accounts in your own name rather than to a crypto exchange, which banks often view unfavorably.
