Crypto Wallet vs. Bank Payout: Which Should I Choose?

Updated June 27, 20264 min read

Two Ways to Receive Your Loan

When you set your loan terms, you choose how to receive the proceeds: as USDC to a crypto wallet, or as fiat USD to your bank account.

Pick your payout when you set loan terms. Both options include the one-time identity check.

Crypto Wallet (USDC)

  • Speed: typically available within minutes of your collateral confirming.
  • Where it lands: any Ethereum (ERC-20) wallet address you control.
  • Best for: spending in DeFi, holding stablecoins, or converting on your own exchange.

Use a wallet you control

Enter an Ethereum wallet address you own (e.g. MetaMask) — not an exchange deposit address. Funds sent to the wrong type of address can be lost.

Bank Account (Fiat USD)

  • Speed: typically 1–3 business days via ACH.
  • Where it lands: your linked US bank account.
  • Extra steps: requires two-factor authentication and linking your bank.

Both options require the same one-time identity check. The bank option adds two-factor authentication and a bank-linking step, and larger loans may need an extra compliance review.
