# Deposit

> Fund your Liquid account with a card, Apple Pay, a bank transfer, Cash App, another app, or crypto.

Your deposits land in your [Liquid balance](/account/move-funds), which you use for perps, spot, and prediction markets. Liquid is [non-custodial](/account/security): funds go to a wallet only you control.

## Deposit by bank transfer

Bank deposits (wire, ACH, and SEPA) go through our banking partner, Bridge. The first time, you complete a one-time identity check. After that, you get bank details to send the transfer to.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick the transfer type">
    On web, open the **Cash** tab and pick **Wire Transfer**, **ACH Transfer**, or **SEPA Transfer**. On iOS, tap **Bank Wire**, **ACH**, or **SEPA** where available.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify your identity">
    Follow the prompts to verify your identity. You only do this once.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send the transfer from your bank">
    Copy the account details shown and send the transfer from your bank. The deposit lands when the transfer clears.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>Trading doesn't require an identity check. Some deposit methods, such as bank transfers and some card providers, ask you to verify your identity.</Note>

## Deposit crypto

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick the token and chain">
    On iOS, tap **Crypto**. On web, open the **Crypto** tab. Choose the token and the chain you're sending from.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy your deposit address">
    Copy the address or scan the QR code. Each chain has its own address.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send from your wallet or exchange">
    Send the funds. They're converted and credited to your Liquid balance.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>Only send the token and chain you selected. Funds sent on the wrong chain may be lost. Deposits below the minimum shown on the screen are not credited.</Warning>

Supported chains include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Solana, Hyperliquid (HyperCore and HyperEVM), BNB Smart Chain, Optimism, Polygon, and Abstract.

## Deposit from another app
