5. Payout

< All Topics

You can make a digital currency payment to an email address or a digital currency address. The payment will then be made internally or externally. However, there is no direct relationship between address format and internal/external payment type. The payment type is determined by whether both sender and receiver are on the same host and the transfer can be handled by a reliable third party. If so, it is internal payment, otherwise external payment.

To find whether your payment is internal or external, you can simply check transfer fee in the Payout page or Payments section. If the fee is 0, then it is an internal payment which will be completed immediately. If the fee is above 0, then it is usually an external payment which will take several minutes or hours to complete.

There is also a payout limitation as below:
