How do I Deposit USD via Bank Transfer into my Coinmetro account?

Important

Unfortunately, our US banking partner Prime Trust, also our sole partner for USD payments, has expectedly halted USD deposits and withdrawals. This sudden decision is the result of the order of the Nevada Financial Institution which was received on Wednesday, June 21st, 2023. 

This means that at the moment, we are temporarily unable to process new USD deposits and withdrawals. We would like to assure you that all other services are available for our clients and Coinmetro is operating as usual, including other fiat and crypto deposits and withdrawals. What other methods can I use to deposit?

In the meantime, until this matter is solved, please do not send any new USD deposits to our previously available USD banking details. If you have already sent funds to those details, please inform us immediately. 

Prime Trust is actively engaging the Nevada Financial Institution Division order, aiming to remediate any concerns and return to business as soon as possible. At the same time, after this unforeseen decision, we are entirely focused on establishing new partners for USD payments.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. We will keep you updated about this as soon as we have a resolution.

How to Deposit USD

Firstly, you'll need to head over to your Coinmetro Dashboard. Then, click on either "Deposit" or "Add Cash" depending on which version of Coinmetro you are using:

Then, from the dropdown menu, search for USD. You will be presented with a few different options to deposit USD into your Coinmetro account:

1. USD - US Dollar (ACH)

2. USD - US Dollar (Domestic Wire)

3. USD - US Dollar (International Wire).

The first time that you go to deposit USD, you will need to carefully read and confirm that you have read, understand, and agree to the Prime Trust Account Terms. It is important that you carefully read these before making your deposit.

Please note that the verification for your first USD deposit may take up to 5 working days to be approved due to additional checks from our US banking partner. You will receive an email once this has been completed. If you are a US resident, you will also need to enter your Social Security Number for Prime Trust verification purposes.

What if verification fails?

If verification fails, unfortunately, we are unable to manually verify your account and you would need to select another deposit option.

USD ACH Bank Transfer

If you are located in the United States, you can choose the USD ACH Bank Transfer option from the dropdown menu.

When choosing to pay by the ACH Bank Transfer method, you will need to create an account with Plaid so that funds can be authorized to be sent from your bank account.

USD Domestic Wire

You can also wire us your funds from your bank account. Select the USD - US Dollar Domestic Wire option from the dropdown menu.

On the USD Domestic Wire deposit form, you will see a Compulsory Reference in addition to Coinmetro's bank details.

You will need to then send us your funds from your bank account with your full name and ensure you include your compulsory reference entered in the reference/description field when making the transfer. It is compulsory to input your reference so that our banking partner and Finance team can assign the funds to your account without delays.

Ensure to use the bank details provided for Coinmetro as shown on the USD Domestic Wire deposit form, double-checking each time you send funds. We are adding new banking partners and details may change from time to time.

FAQ

How long does it take?

USD ACH deposits are typically available in your Coinmetro account within minutes. However, it may take a few days for the funds to be pulled from your bank account. Please ensure you have sufficient funds available in your account until they are debited.

This will allow our Finance team to assign your deposit to your account faster.
