Wire transfers and other deposits
Wire transfers and funds deposited with Interac or PIX must be completed by initiating the transfer with your bank. When you select one of these payment methods for your transaction, the transfer screen shows all the information you need to provide your bank.
For example, on the deposit page, selecting Wire transfers from the payment method screen will display the bank name and address, along with your unique account and routing numbers.
Wire transfer details
Wire transfers typically process the same business day if sent before 1:00 pm PT; otherwise, they'll process the next business day. Transactions show as pending until complete. Holidays and weekends may delay the processing time.
Overnight wire transfers or next-day ACH are not supported.
Coinbase's partner banks cannot assist with wire-related issues.
Fees:
US: $10 for incoming transfers, $25 for outgoing transfers.
Canada: $30 CAD for incoming transfers below $10,000 CAD; no fee for transfers above $10,000 CAD
Wire transfer requirements
Transfers must be made from a personal bank account (business accounts or trusts aren’t allowed).
The name on your bank account must match the name on your Coinbase account.
Ensure the wire transfer details provided in your Coinbase account are entered correctly when initiating the transfer with your bank, including the reference number or code (if provided, otherwise leave this field empty on your bank’s end).
Transfers must originate from the country you’re located in.
Wire transfers that don't meet these requirements will be rejected and returned within 1-3 business days.
Deposit with Interac e-Transfer or EFT
A successful deposit with Interac verifies your bank account. Most deposits process within a few minutes, but depending on your bank's processing time, some may take up to 24 hours.
After initiating a deposit on Coinbase, sign in to your bank to complete the deposit.
If your e-Transfer payment is canceled, contact your bank with the transaction details.
If the issue isn't resolved within 6 hours, Coinbase will void your deposit and notify you via email.

Deposit with PIX
Deposits using PIX have a minimum deposit amount of 1 real and may take up to 30 minutes to process. Copy the generated PIX code from Coinbase and use it in your banking app.
Make sure that:
Your Coinbase CPF matches your bank CPF to avoid funds being returned.
You've completed a successful deposit with PIX before attempting a withdrawal.
