Note that location, currency and sending method are connected. So depending on what you selected on previous step, your dropdown options and even fields for next steps will be different.

Note that the list of available currencies for the main account and the counterparty account is different. E.g., at the moment EUR is available for counterparties and not available for the user’s account.

**Routing number** - In the United States, an ABA routing transit number is a nine-digit code printed on the bottom of checks to identify the financial institution on which it was drawn.

For **Bank Address**, rules are the same as specified above for counterparty address.

We have an autosave feature, so your progress won’t be lost, you can complete first stem and return to the second one later.

Once counterparty added, we’ll need some time to verify it. Usually it takes no longer than 15 minutes. Until it’s verified, in the Send money menu it’ll be grey and unclickable. If after 15 minutes it’s still not approved, please contact customer success.

You can’t edit counterparty after it’s accepted. If you need to edit some information, please contact customer success team.
