Payments

How do I send and receive money?

This page covers both directions of moving money: sending to a Contact and receiving into one of your accounts.


Send money

Overview

Pay a Contact from one of your accounts. Sends use a live exchange-rate quote, and you confirm the final amounts on a review screen before any money moves. Reach the flow from Sidebar → Send, or Send Money on the Home page.

Available actions

  • Pick a Contact and the destination payment method on that Contact
  • Pick a source account from your workspace
  • Choose the send currency (the recipient's currency or yours)
  • Review a live quote with the exchange rate, fee breakdown, and recipient amount
  • Review and confirm before any money moves
  • Track the live status of the payment after confirming

Prerequisites

  • A Verified Contact with at least one payment method (see Contacts)
  • A funded account in your workspace, or the option to convert beforehand — see Accounts and Conversions
  • For some corridors, a Purpose of Transaction (for example, Salary Payment, Family Support, Bill Payment), required by the destination network

Form fields

  • From Account — your source account
  • Send as — the currency you want to send in
  • Amount — the amount to send
  • Payment Rail — for bank-account methods, the network used to deliver (one or more available depending on currency)
  • Purpose of Transaction — when required by the corridor

The screen also shows live calculations for Recipient Will Get, Transfer Fee, Exchange Rate, Total Charged, and a Rate refreshes in X s countdown.

Status flow after confirming

StepMeaning
Transaction InitiatedThe request has been accepted
Processing PaymentFunds are moving through the payment network
Payment deposited to Bank (or wallet)The recipient has received the funds

You can copy the Transaction ID from the status screen — useful if you need support to investigate a specific payment.

Notes

  • Payments cannot be undone after Confirm. The Review screen is the last chance to catch a mistake.
  • Quotes expire. If the "Rate refreshes in X s" countdown hits zero before you confirm, the app generates a fresh quote — you'll see "The payout plan has expired. A new plan will be created." The new fees and totals may differ slightly.
  • Sends don't appear in Transactions instantly. Wait a moment, then refresh — Transactions doesn't auto-update.
  • Insufficient balance shows as "The amount value is invalid or exceeds your available balance." Lower the amount, top up, or convert.
  • No payment rails available means the currency you picked can't be delivered to that bank account. Pick a different currency or a different payment method on the Contact. See Payout Corridors.
  • Missing recipient information shows as "This recipient is missing required information. Please add a new contact and re-enter their details before sending again." Most common in corridors that need extra fields like email or ID — see Payout Corridors.

Receive money

Overview

Share the deposit details for one of your accounts so someone can pay you. The app stores both bank-deposit instructions (for fiat currency) and stablecoin wallet addresses, and provides a way to copy and share them. Reach the page from Sidebar → Receive, or Request Payment / Add Funds on the Home page.

Available actions

  • View bank deposit instructions for receiving fiat currency (Bank Accounts tab)
  • View wallet addresses for receiving stablecoins (Wallets tab)
  • Copy any individual field, or Copy All to copy the whole set at once
  • Reveal masked sensitive fields (typically the account number)

Prerequisites

  • An account in your workspace for the currency or asset you want to receive (Cash for fiat currency, Wallet for stablecoins). Accounts are configured by your administrator.

Bank Account fields

  • Bank Name
  • Account Number (masked by default; reveal with the unmask control)
  • Routing Number or local equivalent (CLABE, IBAN, etc., depending on country) — not masked
  • Reference # — a unique number that must appear in the payment memo
  • Contact Name and Contact Address — the name and address registered on the account
  • Wire Transfer Details for international wires

Wallet fields

  • Asset — the stablecoin (USDC, USDT, etc.)
  • Network / Format — the blockchain network the address is on
  • Wallet Address — the blockchain address itself (not masked)
  • Tag / Memo — present only on networks that use tags

Notes

  • The Reference # is required for bank deposits. Without it, deposits may not be routed to your account. The app shows a warning banner (highlighted in yellow): "When funding your account by bank transfer, you must include your Reference # in the payment memo to ensure your deposit is correctly routed."
  • Asset and network must match. Sending USDC on the wrong network, for example, can lose the funds permanently.
  • Receiving is not instant. Bank transfers take minutes to a few business days depending on the rail; stablecoin transfers take minutes depending on confirmations.
  • Account numbers are masked for security. Routing numbers and wallet addresses are not masked.
  • The list does not auto-update. If you're expecting an inbound payment, refresh the Transactions page to see it appear.
  • No accounts to choose from? Tabs that say "No bank accounts available" or "No wallets available" mean your administrator hasn't set up an account for that currency yet.
