How to withdraw crypto from Usko
How a crypto withdrawal works step by step, the checks that prevent a lost transfer, and what to do if one is delayed.
What you need first
- A verified account with two-factor authentication switched on.
- The destination address, copied from the receiving wallet itself.
- Time to check carefully. A blockchain transfer cannot be recalled.
Please check availability first. On-chain withdrawals are being switched on network by network and may not be open for your coin yet. If the Withdraw screen does not offer your coin and network, the alternative today is selling on the P2P marketplace, where the buyer pays you directly. The steps below apply as soon as the option appears.
Step 1 — Get the destination address from the receiving side
Open the wallet or exchange that will receive the funds and copy its deposit address for that exact coin and network. Always copy from the destination — never retype an address, and never use one somebody sent you in a chat.
Step 2 — Open the withdraw screen
On Usko, go to Wallet and select Withdraw. Choose the coin you want to send.
Step 3 — Select the matching network
Choose the same network the receiving side expects. This is the step that goes wrong most often. If the two sides do not match, the funds are usually unrecoverable.
Step 4 — Paste the address and check it character by character
- Paste the address — never type it.
- Compare the first four and the last four characters against the destination screen.
- If a memo or tag field appears and the destination gave you one, fill it in. Leaving it out can strand the transfer.
Be aware that address-swapping malware exists. Checking the pasted address against the source is what defeats it.
Step 5 — Enter the amount and read the summary
Enter the amount. The screen shows the network fee and the exact amount that will arrive. Read that line — the amount received is always less than the amount sent, because the blockchain itself charges for the transfer.
Step 6 — Send a test transfer first
For a new address, send a small amount first, confirm it arrived, and only then send the rest. This is the cheapest insurance in crypto.
Step 7 — Confirm the security checks
You will be asked for your two-factor code and possibly an email confirmation. These exist to stop somebody who has your password from emptying your account. Never approve a withdrawal you did not start — if a code arrives out of the blue, someone has your password: change it and contact support immediately.
Step 8 — Track it
The withdrawal appears in your history, first as processing and then as sent, with a transaction reference. That reference lets you follow the transfer on the blockchain itself.
If a withdrawal is delayed
- Some withdrawals get an additional security review, particularly the first one, a large one, or one that follows a password or 2FA change. This is normal and protects you.
- A busy network is slow, not stuck. Once it is on-chain, the pace is the blockchain's, not ours.
- If it still shows as processing much longer than expected, contact support with the withdrawal reference.
