Fund your wallet from India
In India, you can add rupees (INR) to the Coinbase app by bank transfer (IMPS). Then you buy USDC and send it to your PowaAgent wallet on Base. Coinbase started this in June 2026 and is turning it on for users step by step.
This guide is here to help. It is not financial advice. PowaAgent is not linked to Coinbase or any exchange named here. Each exchange sets its own fees, limits and rules.
The Buy with card button in the PowaAgent portal does not take rupee payments. Use the Coinbase app instead.

Use another exchange that is registered with India's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-IND) and sends USDC on Base. See Fund your wallet from other countries.
