How do I add money to my Trust Wallet?
You can add money to Trust Wallet by receiving cryptocurrency. Copy your wallet address for the specific coin, then send funds from another wallet or exchange. Alternatively, use the built-in “Buy” feature to purchase crypto with a credit or debit card.
Receiving Cryptocurrency in Trust Wallet
How to Find Your Trust Wallet Address
-
Open Trust Wallet App: Launch the Trust Wallet app on your mobile device and navigate to the main wallet screen. Here, you will see a list of supported cryptocurrencies available for receiving. Opening the app is the first step to access any wallet address for receiving funds securely.
-
Select the Desired Coin: Tap on the specific cryptocurrency you want to receive, such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or Binance Coin (BNB). This will take you to that coin’s dedicated wallet page, where you can manage transactions. It’s important to always select the right coin to avoid sending or receiving errors.
-
Copy Wallet Address: Tap the “Receive” button to display your wallet address. It will appear both as a QR code and as text. You can copy this address or share the QR code with others. This address is unique to your wallet for that particular coin, and any incorrect address use can result in lost funds.
How to Receive Different Types of Crypto
-
Choose the Correct Network: Always ensure you are using the right blockchain network, such as Ethereum (ERC20) or Binance Smart Chain (BEP20), when receiving crypto. Mismatched networks can lead to irreversible loss. For example, sending BEP20 tokens to an ERC20 address may result in failed transactions.
-
Add Custom Tokens: If you want to receive a token not shown in your wallet by default, you can manually add it. Tap the top-right icon in Trust Wallet, search for the token, or add its contract address. This ensures you can track the received tokens correctly within your wallet interface.
-
Confirm Receipt: Once the crypto is sent to your address, it will appear in your wallet after the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain. This process may take a few minutes depending on network speed. Always check your wallet balance and recent transactions to confirm the funds have arrived.
Buying Crypto Directly in Trust Wallet
Using Credit or Debit Cards to Buy Crypto
-
Access Buy Feature: Open Trust Wallet and tap on the “Buy” button on the main screen. Select the cryptocurrency you wish to purchase, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or BNB. This feature allows easy access to buying crypto directly within the app using traditional payment methods.
-
Enter Purchase Details: After selecting your desired coin, input the amount you want to buy. Trust Wallet will show available providers and the estimated amount of crypto you will receive based on the current rate. Enter your credit or debit card details to proceed with the payment securely.

Transferring Crypto from Another Wallet
How to Send Crypto from Other Wallets to Trust Wallet
-
Get Your Trust Wallet Address: Open Trust Wallet, select the cryptocurrency you want to receive, and tap “Receive” to view your wallet address. Copy the address or scan the QR code using the sending wallet’s interface. Always ensure the address matches the correct blockchain for the asset.
-
Initiate Transfer from Other Wallet: In the wallet where your crypto is stored, select the coin you wish to send, paste your Trust Wallet address, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. Double-check all details before submitting to avoid errors.

Wait for Confirmation: After sending, the transaction will appear in your Trust Wallet once it is confirmed on the blockchain. Confirmation times vary depending on the network congestion and the coin being transferred.
Important Tips for Correct Blockchain Transfers
-
Use the Correct Network: Always ensure you are sending crypto over the correct blockchain network (e.g., ERC20, BEP20). Sending to an incompatible network may result in permanent loss of funds.
-
Check Address Accuracy: Always copy and paste wallet addresses carefully. A wrong character can lead to lost crypto. Use QR codes where possible to minimize manual errors.

Verify Fees and Limits: Be aware of transaction fees and minimum transfer limits. Some networks require higher fees during congestion, and some wallets have minimum thresholds for successful transfers.
