As a licensed institution, we are obliged to identify our customers, and verify their identity using reliable sources (the process known as “Know-Your-Customer”) and maintain robust risk management procedures. This gives our clients peace of mind that their funds will not be commingled with illicit proceeds of bad actors.

What alternative payments do you support?

At the moment we accept more than 50 altcoins (BTC, BCH, LTC, ETH, XRP, NEO, ADA, DOGE, USDT) and ERC20 tokens. Also, we have direct bank wire for deposits and withdrawals in EUR.

We are working on adding more currencies and alternative payment methods like credit cards, SWIFT and popular e-money services.

How can I convert all these different coins to BTC?

CoinsPaid provides the opportunity for both merchants and their end-users to send and receive over 140 cryptocurrencies inside their account in CoinsPaid, crediting the counter-party’s balance in the required coin. This option is available in manual mode for end-users and with the help of API for business.

Can I convert coins to EUR?

Yes. CoinsPaid has a built-in instant exchange function. It allows CoinsPaid merchants to exchange the cryptocurrency paid by the customer into the fiat currency chosen by the seller immediately.

How often can I expect settlements?

We make settlements by your request, we don't use rolling reserves so 100% of the funds are available for withdrawal anytime. Also, we have an auto withdrawal option for cryptocurrency: the system makes settlements automatically when the account balance reaches a certain threshold.

Do you have any partner programs?

We do. We are ready to discuss individual terms based on your resources. Also, you can check the common terms on our site: https://coinspaid.com/payment-gateway-affiliate-program/

Is it safe to keep our money in your wallet?

Absolutely. Customer funds are stored in an offline cold wallet, which is protected from cyber-attacks.

Operational, or “hot” wallet, holds funds required for automated operations, such as multiple payments to your clients. This wallet holds the CoinsPaid operational funds. So we have you covered.

Prior to integration, the operator decides how much money he wants to keep in our system, thereby setting storage limits. All funds exceeding these limits (bankroll) will be automatically transferred to the operator's external address.

What is a Destination Tag/Memo?

A Destination Tag/Memo is an additional address feature necessary for identifying a transaction recipient beyond a wallet address.

Why is this needed?

For cryptocurrencies that use destination tag/memo technology, one wallet address is used for several users. The tag/memo is used to determine the individual account a transaction should be credited to. For example: Wallet address + unique destination tag/memo = correct recipient.

What if I do not have a tag for an address?

The only exception to the requirement to include a destination tag/memo is when sending to a privately controlled (non-custodial) cryptocurrency wallet. In all other cases, it is obligatory to include a tag/memo. An example is XRP.
