Crypto Payments Explained
Westio supports Bitcoin and USDT (Tether) for both deposits and withdrawals. Crypto is the fastest withdrawal route, with funds typically released within 24 hours of request — faster than any card or e-wallet method. There are no fees on crypto transactions from Westio's side; however, blockchain network fees (gas fees) may apply when sending from your wallet and vary with network congestion.
How to deposit with Bitcoin
- Go to the cashier and select Bitcoin as your deposit method.
- Copy the unique deposit address generated for your account or scan the QR code.
- Send the desired amount from your wallet. Westio credits the AUD equivalent at the rate at the time the transaction confirms.
- Deposits typically confirm within 10–30 minutes depending on blockchain congestion.
How to withdraw with Bitcoin
- Complete KYC verification if not already done.
- Go to the cashier, select "Withdraw" and choose Bitcoin.
- Enter your wallet address and the AUD amount. Westio converts and sends the equivalent BTC amount.
- Withdrawal is processed within 24 hours of approval.
