  • Zelle (USD Only)
  • Revolut (Multi Currency)
  • Wise (Multi Currency)
  • Mercado Pago (ARS Only)
  • PayPal (Multi Currency)
  • Monzo (GBP Only)
  • N26 (EUR Only)
  • Alipay (CNY Only)
  • Chime (USD Only)
  • Luxon (USD, EUR, GBP)

Provide Step 9

Step 9: Enter Payee Details​

Enter your username/account details for the selected platform:

  • Venmo Username
  • Cash App Cashtag
  • Zelle Email
  • Revolut Revtag
  • Wise Wisetag
  • Mercado Pago CVU
  • PayPal.me Username (e.g. yourusername, omit the paypal.me/ prefix)
  • Monzo.me Username
  • N26 IBAN
  • Alipay ID
  • Chime $ChimeSign
  • Luxon Email

🔍 Double-check accuracy — these details are how buyers send you money.

PeerAuth Extension Required for PayPal

PayPal requires identity verification through the PeerAuth browser extension (v0.4.14+). When you select PayPal, you will be prompted to complete extension-based verification before your deposit goes live. This is the same flow used for Wise. Enter your PayPal.me username (no paypal.me/ prefix) — maker identity is now keyed off the normalized PayPal.me username, not your email.

PayPal Business Accounts Not Supported for Deposits

Deposits must use a personal PayPal account. PayPal Business accounts cannot register as makers — extension registration fails because Business accounts redirect to a different page during PeerAuth verification.

Note: Buyers (takers) CAN pay you from a PayPal Business account — they pick "Business" in the "PayPal account type" selector at verification time. This restriction only affects the maker/deposit side.

Step 10: Set Exchange Rates​

  • Enter how much you want to sell your USDC for in each currency
  • Adjust based on what you observed in Step 2
  • You can see your percentage spread in the middle column
    • Green is above market rate, Grey is close to market rate, and Red is below market rate.

💡 Consider:

  • Market demand
