PayID deposits

Updated this week

PayID is an easy-to-use deposit method that lets you make safe payments directly to Swyftx without the need for a card.

Deposits must come from a bank account registered under the same name as your Swyftx account. We accept deposits from joint accounts as long as your name is listed on the account.

PayID deposits are available for Australian customers only. For information about depositing New Zealand dollars, please visit our support article, Deposit New Zealand dollars.

Deposit times

Usually instant, subject to your bank’s internal checks.

Deposit delays

Your first PayID deposit can take up to 24 business hours to arrive in your Swyftx account due to banks' security measures.

Additionally, most banks now impose a 24-hour hold on deposits to crypto trading platforms. This is the banks' internal procedure, regardless of whether you've deposited into Swyftx before.

If your deposit is delayed:

  1. Check the deposit in your online banking. If it shows as 'Pending,' it is still with your bank.

  2. Call your bank to enquire about the delay.

Banking business hours do apply. If, for example, you make a deposit on a Friday or over the weekend, it's likely to arrive on Monday.

Limits
