Paybis charges zero deposit fees for incoming crypto. You only pay the network fee to miners. The platform operates in 180+ countries with 24\/7 support responding in approximately 15 seconds, has earned over 30k Trustpilot reviews with a rating of 4, and shows all fees upfront before confirmation.<\/em><\/p>\n    <\/div>\r<\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve decided to move your crypto from BitPay to Paybis, you&#8217;re probably nervous. And that&#8217;s okay. One wrong character in a wallet address means losing your funds forever. But this guide breaks the migration down into four verified steps that follow standard blockchain transfer protocols. This guide walks you through the process with access to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/paybis.com\/about-us\/working-times\/\">24\/7 human support<\/a> and transparent fees shown upfront before every transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Crypto Users Are Switching to Paybis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>BitPay built its reputation as a merchant payment processor for businesses accepting crypto payments. If you hold crypto as an individual and need to move it, manage it, or sell it quickly, BitPay&#8217;s infrastructure can feel rigid. Users switch to Paybis for three specific reasons: instant human support when funds are in transit, transparent fee structures shown before clicking &#8220;confirm,&#8221; and faster transaction processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/paybis.com\/blog\/coinbase-support-vs-paybis-support\/\">Paybis&#8217; 24\/7 live chat support<\/a> connects you with real people, not bots, with an <a href=\"https:\/\/paybis.com\/about-us\/working-times\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">average response time of approximately 15 seconds<\/a>. Paybis has earned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustpilot.com\/review\/paybis.com\">30,380+ Trustpilot reviews with a rating of 4.1.<\/a> When you&#8217;re moving $500 or $5,000 worth of Bitcoin and the transaction hasn&#8217;t appeared yet, waiting hours for a ticket response isn&#8217;t acceptable. One user described their experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paybis operates in 180+ countries with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fxempire.com\/exchanges\/paybis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">support for over 70 fiat currencies<\/a>, meaning after your crypto arrives, you can sell it directly to your local currency. The platform is <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ethereum\/ethereum-org-website\/issues\/8952\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">registered with FinCEN in the United States<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/paybis.com\/blog\/paybis-litecoin-safety-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FINTRAC in Canada<\/a>, providing regulatory clarity that individual users increasingly demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n.comparison-table-9 {\n  width: 100%;\n  max-width: 1200px;\n  margin: 40px auto;\n  border-collapse: separate;\n  border-spacing: 0;\n  font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, \"Segoe UI\", Roboto, \"Helvetica Neue\", Arial, sans-serif;\n  box-shadow: 0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.08);\n  border-radius: 8px;\n  overflow: hidden;\n}\n.comparison-table-9 thead {\n  background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%);\n}\n.comparison-table-9 th {\n  padding: 18px 16px;\n  text-align: left;\n  font-weight: 600;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  color: #ffffff;\n  text-transform: uppercase;\n  letter-spacing: 0.5px;\n  line-height: 1.4;\n}\n.comparison-table-9 tbody tr {\n  background: #ffffff;\n  border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\n  transition: background 0.2s ease;\n}\n.comparison-table-9 tbody tr:hover {\n  background: #f9fafb;\n}\n.comparison-table-9 tbody tr:last-child {\n  border-bottom: none;\n}\n.comparison-table-9 td {\n  padding: 20px 16px;\n  font-size: 15px;\n  color: #374151;\n  line-height: 1.6;\n}\n.comparison-table-9 td:first-child {\n  font-weight: 600;\n  color: #1f2937;\n}\n\n@media (max-width: 968px) {\n  .comparison-table-9 {\n    font-size: 13px;\n  }\n  \n  .comparison-table-9 th,\n  .comparison-table-9 td {\n    padding: 12px 10px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\n<table class=\"comparison-table-9\">\n  <thead>\n    <tr>\n      <th>Feature<\/th>\n      <th>BitPay<\/th>\n      <th>Paybis<\/th>\n    <\/tr>\n  <\/thead>\n  <tbody>\n    <tr>\n      <td>Use<\/td>\n      <td>Merchant pay<\/td>\n      <td>Buy &#038; hold<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td>Support<\/td>\n      <td>Ticket based<\/td>\n      <td>24\/7 chat<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td>Deposit<\/td>\n      <td>Method set<\/td>\n      <td>No crypto fee<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td>Verify<\/td>\n      <td>Days<\/td>\n      <td>&lt;15 min<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n  <\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding Self-Custody and Wallet Migration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving from BitPay to Paybis is a standard wallet-to-wallet transfer on the blockchain. Yes, it&#8217;s just like sending Bitcoin to a friend. Your BitPay wallet holds your crypto; when you send it to your Paybis deposit address, blockchain network processes the transfer. This guide covers the exact steps below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critical concept: crypto transactions are irreversible. <a href=\"https:\/\/trustwallet.com\/blog\/security\/clipboard-hijacking-attacks-how-to-prevent-them\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Once a transaction confirms<\/a>, no one, Paybis or BitPay, nor any support team, can reverse it. This is why we emphasize address verification in Step 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/support.paybis.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/18282335192733-Paybis-wallet-functionality\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paybis wallet functionality<\/a> includes both deposits and withdrawals, meaning you can send crypto in and later send it out to any external wallet you choose. <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=usjW93fEdaQ\">Watch this guide on deposits and withdrawals<\/a> for visual confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Send &amp; Withdraw Bitcoin or Altcoins on Paybis? | A Step-by-Step Guide\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/usjW93fEdaQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Create and Verify Your Paybis Account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating your Paybis account takes approximately 2-3 minutes when you have your documents ready. Navigate to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/paybis.com\/user\/register\">paybis.com\/user\/register<\/a> and enter your email address and password. The platform immediately prompts you for basic verification, required by financial regulations in most jurisdictions where Paybis operates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/support.paybis.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/5118493878685-Why-we-do-KYC-and-which-documents-we-accept\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">KYC verification process<\/a> accepts passports, driver&#8217;s licenses, residence permits, and government-issued ID cards.

If no wallets appear, click the &#8220;Plus in the circle&#8221; button to create a wallet for the specific cryptocurrency you&#8217;re transferring from BitPay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Select the exact asset you&#8217;re migrating: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or whichever crypto you hold in BitPay. Sending Bitcoin to an Ethereum address results in permanent loss of funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you select &#8220;Deposit,&#8221; a window displays your wallet information with two options: scanning the QR code on your screen or copying the wallet address as text. For desktop users migrating from BitPay, copying the address is typically easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Critical warning:<\/strong> Before copying this address, verify you&#8217;ve selected the correct network. Bitcoin exists on multiple networks, and tokens like USDT exist on Ethereum (ERC-20), Tron (TRC-20), and other chains. Sending to the wrong network typically means your funds are unrecoverable. BitPay should clearly indicate which network your crypto is on: match it exactly when creating your Paybis deposit wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Send Funds From Your BitPay Wallet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Open your BitPay wallet and locate the &#8220;Send&#8221; function. You&#8217;ll paste the Paybis deposit address you copied in Step 2. Before you do, understand the biggest security threat: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/trustwallet.com\/blog\/security\/clipboard-hijacking-attacks-how-to-prevent-them\">clipboard hijacking malware<\/a> that replaces crypto addresses on infected devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Critical safety protocol:<\/strong> After pasting the Paybis address into BitPay, verify the ENTIRE address character-by-character. Compare the pasted address against the original in your Paybis wallet, confirming every character matches. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.merklescience.com\/blog\/how-clipper-malware-poses-a-threat-to-crypto-transactions\">Malware specifically targets cryptocurrency transfers<\/a> by swapping addresses at the moment you paste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter the amount you want to transfer. BitPay will display an estimated network fee: this is the fee paid to Bitcoin miners (or Ethereum validators) for processing your transaction, not a fee to BitPay or Paybis. As of early 2026, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/bitcoin\/fees\/\">Bitcoin network fees average around $0.82<\/a> during normal conditions, while <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\/indicators\/ethereum_average_transaction_fee\">Ethereum fees average approximately $0.54<\/a>. Both can spike during network congestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BitPay typically offers fee options: &#8220;Economy&#8221; (slower, cheaper), &#8220;Normal&#8221; (standard speed), or &#8220;Priority&#8221; (faster, more expensive). For migration purposes, Normal is appropriate. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/help.earnpark.com\/en\/articles\/8857419-how-do-i-check-the-transaction-status-on-the-blockchain\">Network congestion affects processing speed<\/a>: Bitcoin blocks are mined approximately every 10 minutes on average, but during high congestion, it can take 30-60 minutes per confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Confirm the transaction in BitPay. Once confirmed, BitPay will broadcast your transaction to the blockchain and provide a Transaction ID (TxID). Save this TxID for tracking in Step 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Confirm the Transaction on the Blockchain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After BitPay broadcasts your transaction, miners process it and add it to the blockchain. This typically takes 15-30 minutes for Bitcoin during normal network conditions. You can track progress using your Transaction ID (TxID).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/learn\/transaction-id-txid\">Your TxID is a unique identifier<\/a> for this transfer. Copy it from BitPay, then paste it into a blockchain explorer: blockchain.com\/explorer for Bitcoin or etherscan.io for Ethereum. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptal.com\/en\/blog\/bitcoin-transaction-check\">The explorer shows your transaction status<\/a>, number of confirmations, and estimated completion time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Paybis wallet transaction history updates automatically once confirmations complete. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/support.paybis.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/18282335192733-Paybis-wallet-functionality\">Transaction history is color-coded<\/a>: green indicates incoming transactions (deposits), red indicates outgoing transactions (withdrawals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your deposit hasn&#8217;t appeared after the expected time, contact support by providing your TxID. <a href=\"https:\/\/support.paybis.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/7405513973533-how-to-contact-paybis-support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact support live chat<\/a>, available 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fee Breakdown: What This Transfer Actually Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding exactly what you pay for a migration helps eliminate surprise costs. This transfer involves three fee types, but only one costs you money during migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BitPay Outbound Fees:<\/strong> BitPay does not charge a service fee for sending cryptocurrency out of your wallet. However, you must pay the blockchain network fee, which BitPay displays before confirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paybis Deposit Fees:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/tradersunion.com\/brokers\/crypto\/view\/paybis\/fees\/\">Paybis charges zero fees for incoming cryptocurrency deposits<\/a>. The full amount you sent (minus the network fee paid to miners) appears in your Paybis wallet balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Network Fees:<\/strong> These fees go to blockchain miners or validators, not to any platform. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@XT_com\/btc-gas-fees-vs-eth-gas-fees-important-information-for-investors-2025-6075126243de\">The fee fluctuates based on network congestion<\/a>. During periods of high transaction volume, fees spike; during quiet periods, they drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n.comparison-table-9 {\n  width: 100%;\n  max-width: 1200px;\n  margin: 40px auto;\n  border-collapse: separate;\n  border-spacing: 0;\n  font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, \"Segoe UI\", Roboto, \"Helvetica Neue\", Arial, sans-serif;\n  box-shadow: 0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.08);\n  border-radius: 8px;\n  overflow: hidden;\n}\n.comparison-table-9 thead {\n  background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%);\n}\n.comparison-table-9 th {\n  padding: 18px 16px;\n  text-align: left;\n  font-weight: 600;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  color: #ffffff;\n  text-transform: uppercase;\n  letter-spacing: 0.5px;\n  line-height: 1.4;\n}\n.comparison-table-9 tbody tr {\n  background: #ffffff;\n  border-bottom: 1px solid #f0f0f0;\n  transition: background 0.2s ease;\n}\n.comparison-table-9 tbody tr:hover {\n  background: #f9fafb;\n}\n.comparison-table-9 tbody tr:last-child {\n  border-bottom: none;\n}\n.comparison-table-9 td {\n  padding: 20px 16px;\n  font-size: 15px;\n  color: #374151;\n  line-height: 1.6;\n}\n.comparison-table-9 td:first-child {\n  font-weight: 600;\n  color: #1f2937;\n}\n@media (max-width: 968px) {\n  .comparison-table-9 {\n    font-size: 13px;\n  }\n  .comparison-table-9 th,\n  .comparison-table-9 td {\n    padding: 12px 10px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\n<table class=\"comparison-table-9\">\n  <thead>\n    <tr>\n      <th>Fee type<\/th>\n      <th>Receiver<\/th>\n      <th>Cost<\/th>\n      <th>Timing<\/th>\n    <\/tr>\n  <\/thead>\n  <tbody>\n    <tr>\n      <td>BitPay fee<\/td>\n      <td>BitPay<\/td>\n      <td>$0<\/td>\n      <td>Never<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td>Network<\/td>\n      <td>Miners<\/td>\n      <td>$0.82\u20133.95<\/td>\n      <td>On send<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n    <tr>\n      <td>Paybis dep<\/td>\n      <td>Paybis<\/td>\n      <td>$0<\/td>\n      <td>Never<\/td>\n    <\/tr>\n  <\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example scenario:<\/strong> You migrate $1,000 worth of Bitcoin from BitPay to Paybis.
