Banking & Settlements | BitPay Documentation

Your bitcoin payments, deposited directly into your bank account.

Bank Deposits

Settlement payments for Business and Enterprise merchants happen automatically, every business day. BitPay collects and deposits all payments processed from the previous business day directly to your bank or bitcoin wallet, according to your settlement preferences. BitPay issues bank settlements for Starter plan merchants on a weekly basis.

We protect merchants on our platform by maintaining enterprise-level legal and compliance standards. Tiered processing limits apply based on verification level; these limits can be raised through compliance verification.
