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 BitPay merchants happen automatically, every business day. BitPay collects all payments processed since the previous business day’s settlement and deposits your balance 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.

Cryptocurrency Split

Many merchants choose to take a percentage of their settlement in BTC, BCH, GUSD, PAX, or USDC. This can be done by taking a Cryptocurrency Split. You can choose to take any percentage – or all of it – in cryptocurrency (BTC, BCH, GUSD, PAX, 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 multiple currencies. You can have settlement in only one fiat currency but up to five cryptocurrencies. For example, you may have 30% in USD, 50% in BTC settlement, and 20% in BCH. You may not have settlement set up for multiple fiat currencies at this time. 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.
