Wallet & payments

Xiaomi Crowd Trading uses a single central wallet. Top it up from any supported rail; once funded, the wallet pays for everything — trades, purchases, and contributions.
Supported deposit methods
- Card (Visa / Mastercard / UnionPay / Amex)
- Instant. No fee from us; your bank may apply FX or interchange.
- Alipay
- Available to CN, HK, SG users. Instant.
- WeChat Pay
- Available to CN users. Instant.
- M-Pesa
- Kenya pilot only. Instant.
- Bank transfer (SWIFT, SEPA, FPS)
- Same-business-day in the launch regions; SWIFT can take 1–3 days.
- Crypto on-ramp
- Via a licensed partner. Same-business-day clearance.
Which one should I use?
Pick based on speed and cost:
- Need it instantly and the amount is under $5,000 → card or local wallet (Alipay/WeChat).
- Larger amount and you have time → bank transfer (lower fees).
- Already hold crypto → on-ramp from your wallet (no FX).
Limits
Default daily deposit limit for KYC L2 is USD 50,000 equivalent. Above this you’ll be asked to upgrade to L3 (source-of-funds documents). Same-day deposits are capped at three per method as a fraud control; this can be relaxed after 30 days of clean activity.
