Add a contact

Contacts enable you to manage trusted addresses for both first- and third-party accounts to which you regularly send crypto. This allows for seamless transfers and withdrawals, while also enhancing fund security by minimising the risk of sending funds to an incorrect address.

1. On the Portal, go to Digital Assets > Contacts and select Add contact.

2. Select the type of contact you want to create: Company or Individual, and complete the information required. Name and description fields are required. All other fields are optional but provide a valuable way for you to store information about a contact which may be needed for travel rule compliance purposes.

   

3. Select Add Contact to create the contact. You will now see this contact appear in your contact list.
