Verify debit card through micro-transactions:
- Once you confirm to send micro-transactions, 2 transactions will be posted to the bank account. The transactions may take a while to show up, which depends on your banking institution. Don't worry, these transactions will be removed from your account within 14 business days.
- Once you see the transactions posted, verify the amounts of the transactions that are between 0.99 and 1.99 in value. If you are adding the debit card as a non-USD payment method, you may need to contact your bank to have them provide the converted USD values of the micro-transactions for verification.
- Your debit card will be available to use for crypto orders.
