In ChainChoice’s published ranking order, from this category’s 16 providers: those whose terms exclude Belgium are removed; those silent on it come last. Each chip names the basis: a dated check, a region listing, or the provider's own claim.
#1 for BelgiumTransak#1 globallyLists Europe; Belgium not individually verified The most disclosed onramp in the pool — full per-rail fee schedule with minimum floors plus a separately stated spread over CoinGecko of 0% to 2.5% depending on volatility (a flat 2.5% in August; read 28 September 2026) — whose own help centre admits the settled amount floats to the settlement-time rate on bank rails, and whose otherwise numbered five-jurisdiction licence stack has a conspicuous MiCA-shaped hole.
All in purchase cost — 7/10Kyc friction time to coins — 7/10#2 for BelgiumCoinify#2 globallyLists Europe; Belgium not individually verified The pool's fee-schedule anchor - bank 1%, EEA card 3.5%, non-EEA card 5%, 0.50% non-USD FX, network fee separate, all on its own domain - and since 29 May 2026 a register-verified Danish MiCA CASP (FT-ID 10907) whose own legal page has not yet caught up with its authorisation.
All in purchase cost — 8/10Licence identity — 8/10#3 for BelgiumMoonPay#3 globallyProvider states broad availability Highest-distribution consumer/embedded fiat-to-crypto rail with the pool's deepest numbered licence stack — but an 'up to 4.5%' card fee cap plus an unquantified spread means the €200 all-in is only knowable inside the widget.
Licence identity — 9/10All in purchase cost — 6/10#4 for BelgiumRamp Network#4 globallyLists Europe; Belgium not individually verified Developer-first embedded onramp with a fully published per-rail fee-cap schedule (card up to 3.9% USD/EUR/GBP, manual bank up to 1.40%, min up to €2.49) and a numbered three-entity licence stack (FCA 928783, FinCEN MSB 31000287566749, CBI MiCA CASP) — but the rate is struck when your payment reaches its account, so the confirm-screen number is explicitly not guaranteed.
Licence identity — 8/10All in purchase cost — 6/10#5 for BelgiumBanxa#5 globallyProvider states broad availability The onramp that publishes its worst case: 1.99% card fee plus a 2-4% typical spread with contractual maxima, riding its own numbered licences in AU, CA, NL (MiCA), UK and 30+ US states - now private under OSL Group since 2 January 2026.
Licence identity — 8/10Kyc friction time to coins — 7/10#6 for BelgiumCoinbase Onramp#6 globallyLists Europe; Belgium not individually verified Coinbase's embeddable fiat-to-crypto rail (CDP Onramp): Coinbase-account and US guest-checkout flows riding Coinbase's own first-party licence stack — NYDFS-listed in the US and an ESMA-register-confirmed MiCA CASP (Coinbase Luxembourg S.A.) passported across 30 EEA states — with published 2.5% credit-card / 0.5% ACH fees but an unquantified spread, no EUR bank rail, and no published time-to-coins anywhere on its docs.
Licence identity — 7/10All in purchase cost — 5/10#7 for BelgiumMercuryo#7 globallyLists Europe; Belgium not individually verified Multi-entity EU-focused widget rail — EEA crypto flow on Criptan Trade S.L.'s CNMV MiCA CASP (contracting via non-regulated Moneychurros S.L.), non-EEA on a Canadian FINTRAC MSB, UK FCA EMI for the e-money leg only — with a published CAPPED fee schedule (card up to 5.5% min EUR 1, SEPA up to 3% min EUR 2, average 3.95%) but an unquantified embedded spread, a partner-set 0-2% Infrastructure Fee, and a global-ToS rate struck at the execution moment.
Licence identity — 6/10All in purchase cost — 5/10#8 for BelgiumStripe Crypto Onramp#9 globallyLists Europe; Belgium not individually verified Stripe's application-gated fiat-to-crypto rail (hosted at crypto.link.com or embedded) riding Stripe Payments Company's US money-transmitter stack and Stripe Technology Europe's Irish EMI, with the crypto leg on an unnamed 'Exchange Provider' and pricing disclosed only as a help-centre 3-5% range plus an unquantified spread.
