How can I see my balance in a different currency?

Most crypto trading is in US dollars, but you might want to know how the amounts convert in your local currency. To help you do this, you can view your account balance in any of the currencies MoonPay supports.

To change the currency view, open account settings, select ‘Change default currency’, and select the currency you wish to change to. There’s more detail in this article: How to change default currency.

📘

Note:

If you change your default currency, all the activity in your account will display in that currency.

Where can I see my transaction activity?

We don’t currently display onchain activity for your MoonPay account. But you can see your onchain activity directly on the blockchain by following these instructions:

1. Open the blockchain for the token activity you want to view.
   1. BTC
   2. ETH
   3. SOL
   4. XRP
2. Copy your wallet address from MoonPay.
3. Paste it into the blockchain.
4. View your transaction activity.

What are the network fees for sending crypto in the MoonPay account?

When you send crypto from your MoonPay account, you’ll need to pay a network fee. There are three types of network fee to choose from — Standard, Fast, and Urgent. You’ll need to pick one of these every time you make a trade.

A Standard network fee is the cheapest option. But at busier times, transactions made with Standard fees might take longer to process on the blockchain. An Urgent network fee is more expensive and usually means your trade will be processed faster. But ultimately, how fast your transaction completes depends on network conditions.
You’ll always see the full cost of fees upfront, before you make your trade. The way we apply the fee differs depending on whether you’re sending BTC, ETH, XRP or SOL:

• BTC: The fee is in BTC.
• ETH & ERC-20: The fee is in ETH.
• SOL: The fee is in SOL.
• XRP: The fee is in XRP

📘

Note:

Make sure you have enough of the native token (BTC, ETH, XRP or SOL) in your MoonPay account to cover the cost of network fees.

Where do I see my balance for BNB?

1. Open Your MoonPay App
   Launch the MoonPay app and sign in to your account if you haven’t already.
2. Access Your Wallets
   From the main navigation at the bottom of the Portfolio screen.
   Select Wallets to view all available wallets linked to your account.
3. Open Your Ethereum Wallet
   On the Wallets screen, tap on Ethereum to open your Ethereum wallet
4. View Your Token
   Your BNB/BEP-20 tokens will show up in your MoonPay Ethereum account, as it's an EVM wallet address.

Can I receive BNB into my MoonPay Ethereum wallet address?

Yes, if you're using a MoonPay wallet, you can receive BNB at an Ethereum-style address. This is because MoonPay wallets are EVM-compatible, meaning they support multiple tokens (like BNB) across EVM chains, even if the address format appears the same as Ethereum.
However, if you're using an external Ethereum-only wallet that doesn't support BNB or the BNB Smart Chain (BSC), sending BNB there could result in lost funds. Always check whether your wallet is EVM-compatible and supports BNB before transferring.
