Additional deposit help

Wire transfers and funds deposited with Interac, or PIX must be completed by your bank. The information you’ll need to provide your bank is displayed when you select Interac or PIX in your Coinbase account.

Wire deposit details

Overnight wire transfers or next day ACH are not supported at this time. Coinbase’s partner banks will be unable to assist with any wire-related issue.

Wire fees: 

  • $10 for incoming transfers

  • $25 for outgoing transfers

Wire transfer requirements:

Wire transfers failing to meet the requirements below will be rejected and returned within 1-3 business days.

  • Wire transfer must originate from the country you’re located in.

  • "Reference to Beneficiary" field should be left blank unless a unique reference code is needed.

  • Unique reference code or Coinbase virtual account number must be included with the wire transfer.

    • You’ll receive either a virtual account number (VAN) or a reference code, not both.

Deposit with Interac e-Transfer or EFT

A successful deposit verifies your bank account. After you initiate the deposit on Coinbase, sign in to your bank to complete the deposit. 

Most deposits take a few minutes. Depending on your bank's processing time, some deposits may take up to 24 hours.

Note: If your e-Transfer payment is canceled, reach out to your bank with transaction details. If unresolved after 6 hours, Coinbase will void your deposit and notify you via email.
