Your cryptocurrency payments, deposited directly into your bank account.

BitPay offers direct settlement via bank deposit, so you can receive funds in your local currency, cryptocurrency, or a mix of the two.

Settlement & Bank Deposit

Settlement payments for Business and Enterprise users happen automatically, every business day. BitPay collects and deposits all payments processed from the previous business day directly to your bank or cryptocurrency wallet according to your settlement preferences. We maintain enterprise-level legal and compliance standards to protect merchants on our platform. Tiered processing limits apply based on verification level; these limits can be raised by providing additional verification information.

Settlement Currencies

BitPay supports settlement in 9 currencies and direct bank deposit in 37 countries. Cryptocurrency settlements are supported in 240 countries.

Cryptocurrency Split 

Many merchants choose to take a percentage of their settlement in BTC, BCH, GUSD, or USDC. This can be done by taking a Cryptocurrency Split. You can choose to take any percentage – or all of it – in one cryptocurrency (BTC, BCH, GUSD, or USDC). You can set up a Cryptocurrency Split in your Settlement settings. Settlement is paid daily to your wallet address on file.

BitPay offers settlement in up to two currencies, but they can only be one fiat and one cryptocurrency. For example, you may have 30% in USD and the other 70% in BCH settlement. You may not have settlement set up for multiple fiat currencies or multiple cryptocurrencies. For example, a merchant in the United Kingdom may only have EUR or GBP settlement, not both, though both currencies are settlement options for a merchant located in the UK.
