**If you're like I was only a few weeks ago and had never transacted on the BSC, come follow along and let's get setup.**

This short guide assumes you already have MetaMask installed. If not you can check out [this guide here](https://metamask.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015489531-Getting-Started-With-MetaMask).

**Let's Do This!**

### How To Add BSC To Your MetaMask Wallet.

**[1]** Login to your MetaMask wallet and click the colourful wheel in the top right corner, from the drop down menu select "Settings".

**That's it, you've made it!** 

Now all we need to do is fund the wallet with a little bit of BNB to pay for transactions and you'll be on your way.

### Funding Your BSC wallet

I fund my BSC wallet from BNB purchased on the Binance exchange. 

**When sending funds from an exchange, such as BNB to your BSC wallet on MetaMask, you need to be sure you select BEP20.**

**[1]** Start by copying your BSC wallet address from MetaMask and pasting it into recipient address. Always make sure the recipient address is a BSC address.

**[2]** Select Binance Smart Chain(BSC).

 You always want to be sure you are sending to BEP20 which is the BSC.

[3] Wait for the magic to happen.

Once your BSC wallet is funded you will see a balance.

**No it's not Ethereum, that's a labelling issue. If you have a positive balance then your BSC wallet is now funded.**

That's it!

If at any point you're lost and need additional resources you can always check the official Binance academy instruction which will walk you through the process. 

Ciao for now,
