Add funds to your wallet

Use the current Arca Buy flow to compare available partner quotes, open checkout, and follow your purchase in Activity.

Updated

Use Buy to add USDC or USDT through an available purchase partner. Arca shows the available routes and quotes; the partner handles payment and any identity check. Options vary by region and can change.

Note: A quote is an estimate. Review the partner’s final amount and fee before paying.

Buy digital dollars

  1. On the Wallet tab, tap Buy.
  2. Tap the payment currency, choose your region, and select an available currency.
  3. Enter how much you want to spend.
  4. To change what you will receive, tap Buy and choose the network and USDC or USDT. Choose the token and network you need for what you plan to do with the funds.
  5. Tap Pay with to compare available partners. Review the quoted fee and any minimum or maximum. Best quote compares only the offers currently shown in Arca, and the final quote can still change at checkout.
  6. Tap Continue to payment, confirm the partner, and continue to its checkout.
  7. Complete the partner’s payment and identity steps. Do not close the checkout until the partner confirms that your order was submitted.

If no quote is available, try a different amount, token, network, payment currency, or provider. An empty currency list means there is no purchase route for that selection right now.

Track your purchase

The order appears as Buy in Activity. Open it and use Check status when available. Some purchases can take up to two hours, although the partner’s estimate is the one that applies to your order.

Your balance updates after the digital dollars arrive. A checkout opening or a charge on your payment account does not by itself mean the purchase is complete.

If your funds have not arrived

  • Refresh Wallet and Activity, then check the order status.
  • Return to the partner’s order page for payment or identity instructions.
  • If you see a charge or hold, contact the partner with the order details.
  • Do not create a replacement order while the first is still pending; it may still complete.
