# Existing Options

### What you may normally use

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="OTC Desk / CEX" %}
Often a buyer can liquidate their crypto using an exchange or via an OTC desk in which fiat currency is deposited into their bank account. This is an indirect way to pay for an asset or service with crypto since the buyer would still to send fiat to the buyer.

 

*Why is this not a good option?*

If a buyer wishes to purchase an asset in a foreign country, they may need a bank account in that country to receive fiat from the exchange or OTC desk in the country of purchase. For Thai condo purchases, this is not an option because an international wire transfer with the condo purchase details in the TT note is a requirement under the Condominium Act.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Crypto debit card" %}
Many exchanges now offer debit cards allowing buyers to complete purchases using a typical Visa or Mastercard.

 

*Why is this not a good option?*

This is a great option for smaller purchase sizes. However, many crypto debit card have limits for the purchase size and often sellers of high-priced assets or services require checks or bank transfers. This would also not work for real-estate related purchases.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Payment Gateways" %}
There are many providers that offer sellers the ability to accept crypto as payment.

 

*Why is this not a good option?*

Sellers must onboard with payment gateways directly. Mantix is a service for buyers when the seller does not accept crypto as a form of payment.
