Important deposit information:
- The currency you use for a bank deposit, must match the currency of the deposit method. For example, if you're sending EUR, it should only go to EUR deposit methods like SEPA & SEPA Instant (Banking Circle), SEPA (Bank Frick), or EUR SWIFT (Bank Frick) for transfers from outside the SEPA area. If you send a cash transfer in the wrong currency to one of our bank accounts, the transfer may be returned and/or some additional charges may be applied.
- Deposit fees are what it costs Kraken to accept your deposit and do not include your bank's charges (if any) for sending a transfer.
- We cannot accept deposits from certain third-party payment processors.
- This information can change without notice and is not always current. Please sign in to your Kraken account and navigate to the relevant funding page to see the most current information.
