# Deposits

> Add money to your account via stablecoin transfer or bank wire. Deposits land in seconds (crypto) or minutes (local rails).

Glide accepts deposits two ways: stablecoin transfers and traditional bank rails. Crypto works pre-KYC; bank rails activate once your identity is verified.

## Deposit a stablecoin

USDC and USDT settle in seconds and require no KYC.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the deposit screen">
    From your dashboard, tap **Deposit → From crypto wallet**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick the network">
    Choose Ethereum, Solana, Base, or Polygon (full list in [supported networks](/stablecoins/supported-networks)). The network determines the address you'll send to and the gas cost.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy your deposit address">
    Glide generates a deposit address unique to your account. Copy it, or scan the QR code from your wallet app.

    <Warning>
      Send only the asset and network shown. Sending a different asset to this address may result in permanent loss; sending on the wrong network can take days to recover (and may not be recoverable on some chains).
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm in your wallet">
    Initiate the transfer from your wallet. Watch the dashboard; the deposit shows as pending immediately and clears after on-chain confirmations (USDC on Solana confirms in \<5s; USDC on Ethereum mainnet takes \~1–3 minutes).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Deposit fiat by bank wire

Once your KYC clears, you'll see local account details for every named-account currency you've activated.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get your account details">
    From the dashboard, tap **Deposit → From bank account → pick a currency**. We'll show you account number, sort code or routing number, IBAN, BIC, and the recipient name to use on the wire.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wire from your existing bank">
    Send the wire from your bank using the details we showed you. Glide is the recipient name; the funds land in your account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for settlement">
    Settlement times vary by rail:

    * **SEPA Instant** — under 10 seconds.
    * **Faster Payments (UK)** — under 2 hours, often instant.
    * **ACH push** — same business day.
    * **SWIFT wire** — same to next business day, depending on the originating bank.

    You'll get a push notification when the deposit clears.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Receiving payments from someone else

Same flow as your own deposit. Share your account details (or a payment link) with the sender. They wire to those details; the funds land in your Glide account.

For a clean handoff, generate a **named payment link** in **Deposit → Request money**. Each link tracks the expected amount, the sender, and the invoice reference, so reconciliation is automatic.

## Deposit fees
