How to Receive Crypto Using CEX.IO Pay

Receiving crypto via CEX.IO Pay is even simpler – there's nothing you need to do! If someone wants to send you crypto internally, you just need to share your CEX.IO user ID.

When another CEX.IO user sends you funds using CEX.IO Pay, the cryptocurrency will be instantly credited to your CEX.IO account balance. You will receive a notification confirming the incoming transfer.

Important:

  • User ID Accuracy: Always double-check the recipient's CEX.IO User ID to ensure funds are sent to the correct person. CEX.IO Pay transfers are instant and typically irreversible.

  • Supported Cryptocurrencies: CEX.IO Pay supports transfers for all cryptocurrencies available in your and your recipient’s CEX.IO wallet. Please check if the currency is available for your recipient before the transfer.

  • Internal Transfers Only: Remember that CEX.IO Pay is for transfers between CEX.IO users. If you need to send crypto to an external wallet or another exchange, you will use the standard blockchain withdrawal process, which may incur network fees.

  • Limits: There’s no minimal amount requirement for internal transactions. The maximum daily limit depends on your verification level. For new users, the daily limit is 1,000 USD (or crypto equivalent), and the monthly limit is 3,000 USD (or crypto equivalent). These limits can be increased later.

What if my friend or family member isn't on CEX.IO yet?

No problem! If the person you want to send crypto to isn't yet a registered CEX.IO user, you can easily invite them to join the platform. Even better, you can earn rewards for doing so!

Share your unique referral link with your friends and family. When they register through your link and start trading, you can earn 30% of their trading fees as a commission. It's a win-win: they get access to easy crypto transfers with CEX.IO Pay, and you get rewarded for expanding our community.
