MoonPay's official email addresses


All official MoonPay emails come from the moonpay.com domain. Here are some examples:

If an email doesn't have the moonpay.com domain, it's not from us. Don't click any links in it.

We also use BIMI, a standard that displays our brand logo next to emails in supported inboxes. This makes it easy to confirm an email is genuinely from MoonPay.

What to do if you receive a phishing email


  1. Don't engage — don't reply, click any links, or download attachments

  2. Mark it as phishing — use your email provider's tools to report and archive it

  3. Secure your account — change your email password, enable two-factor authentication (2FA), and monitor for unusual activity

  4. Report it to us — contact MoonPay support using the chat button in the bottom-right corner of this page

  5. Delete the email — remove it from your inbox to avoid accidental clicks

To lower your risk, watch out for emails that use pressure tactics or promise quick returns. Never share sensitive information or send crypto based on an unsolicited request.

What to do if someone used your email to sign up for MoonPay


If you receive a MoonPay signup email you didn't initiate, here's what to do:

  1. Ignore the Email: The account will not activate unless confirmed

  2. Secure Your Email:

    • Update your email password to a strong and unique one

    • Enable two-factor authentication for enhanced email security
