How do I add money to my Trust Wallet from my bank account?

You cannot directly deposit money from your bank account into Trust Wallet. To add funds, use a cryptocurrency exchange like Binance or Coinbase to buy crypto and transfer it to your Trust Wallet using the wallet’s address.

Adding Funds to Trust Wallet from Bank Account

What are the methods to deposit funds into Trust Wallet?

• Use cryptocurrency exchanges: To deposit funds into Trust Wallet, first buy cryptocurrency from an exchange like Binance, Coinbase, or Kraken. After purchasing, transfer the crypto to your Trust Wallet using the wallet’s address.
• Peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms: You can also buy crypto from P2P platforms like LocalBitcoins or Binance P2P. These platforms allow bank transfers as a payment method, and you can send the purchased crypto directly to Trust Wallet.
• Crypto ATMs: In some locations, cryptocurrency ATMs allow you to purchase crypto with cash or debit cards. After buying the crypto, you can transfer it to your Trust Wallet using its address.

Can you directly transfer fiat currency to Trust Wallet?

• No direct fiat transfers: Trust Wallet does not allow direct fiat deposits, as it is a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet. Instead, you need to use exchanges or P2P platforms to convert fiat to cryptocurrency first.
• Bank-to-exchange transfers: You can link your bank account to a cryptocurrency exchange, buy crypto (like Bitcoin or Ethereum), and then transfer it to your Trust Wallet.
• Using third-party services: Some services, like Simplex or MoonPay, allow you to buy cryptocurrency directly with a debit or credit card and send it to your Trust Wallet. However, these services typically charge fees for the convenience.

What’s the process for converting fiat to crypto and transferring to Trust Wallet?

Understanding Cryptocurrency Purchase and Transfer Fees

Are there fees when transferring funds to Trust Wallet?

• Fee variations by asset: Different cryptocurrencies have different transaction fees. For example, Bitcoin often has higher fees due to network congestion, while Litecoin and Binance Coin typically have lower fees.

How can you minimize transaction fees when transferring to Trust Wallet?

• Choose lower-fee networks: Opt for blockchains with lower transaction fees, such as Binance Smart Chain (BSC) or Solana. These networks typically offer faster and cheaper transactions compared to Ethereum.
• Wait for low congestion periods: Some blockchains, like Ethereum, have varying fees depending on network traffic. Try transferring during off-peak times to reduce the transaction cost.
• Use exchanges with low withdrawal fees: Choose exchanges that offer competitive withdrawal fees for the specific cryptocurrency you’re transferring. Some exchanges also allow you to withdraw using lower-fee networks (e.g., BSC for Binance tokens).
