Transak introduces wire transfer services for US-based purchases

As a seasoned analyst with years of experience in the financial sector, I find Transak’s introduction of wire transfers as a new payment method for US users to purchase crypto nothing short of game-changing. With my background in understanding the intricacies of high-value transactions and their preferred payment methods, it is clear that this move is a significant stride towards enhancing accessibility and convenience for crypto buyers.


Transak is pioneering the use of bank wire transfers as an option for U.S. customers to buy cryptocurrency, making it the first platform offering a fiat-to-crypto onboarding service that supports this payment method.

As a seasoned investor who has navigated the complex landscape of traditional finance, I can attest to the transformative potential of this move towards improving accessibility and convenience for crypto buyers, especially those based in the US. Having personally experienced the frustration of limited options and cumbersome processes, I wholeheartedly welcome this shift that aims to make digital assets more accessible and user-friendly for a broader audience. This development is not just about money; it’s about empowering individuals with the means to participate in an increasingly digital economy, regardless of their geographical location.

Utilizing wire transfers offers an affordable option, charging only a 1% fee, which is less expensive than credit cards or Apple Pay. The appeal of this method has already attracted 13 partners, such as Binance.US, who have signed up to utilize this service.

Why use a wire transfer? 

On this platform, wire transfers are ideal for larger transactions as they typically involve an average value that’s 16 times greater than other payment methods available here. To use wire transfers, a minimum transaction of $2,000 is necessary and daily crypto purchases can reach up to $25,000 – but only after users have successfully completed level 2 KYC verification.

Performing wire transfers requires intricate procedures, including managing bank transfers and maintaining precise fund verification. To facilitate this process, the platform Transak has been designed, catering to wire transfers that are commonly trusted and favored across multiple areas due to their security and efficiency in handling high-value transactions.

After being established, wire transfers prove to be simple, providing a convenient method for both personal users and corporations to handle significant financial exchanges. Generally, a bank is involved in this process, requiring the customer to provide essential details like the recipient’s banking information and the transfer amount.

As a pioneer in facilitating cryptocurrency transactions through wire transfers, this groundbreaking accomplishment underscores our dedication to innovation at Transak. This achievement signifies our unwavering commitment to offering our valued users enhanced convenience and security when it comes to payment solutions, as articulated by myself, Yeshu Agarwal, co-founder of Transak.
