Important: Before you send
For increased security, by default, the option to send cryptocurrency is disabled.
You can enable send in two ways:
- By selecting SEND anywhere in the app
- Or by navigating to Profile, then Security and enabling it from Send cryptocurrency
Note
Once you’ve authorised the option to send crypto, there’s a waiting period for it to be activated. This is an extra security measure that gives you time to undo your action and protects your money against fraudulent activity. It usually takes 24 hours to activate, but in some of our supported countries, it takes up to 30 days. The date at which your send option will be activated is displayed to you in the app, and you’ll also receive an email notification as soon as it’s activated for you.
How to send to a your e-coins wallet address
Once your crypto send option is activated, you can easily send to a wallet address by following these steps:
- Sign in to your Luno account
- Select Wallets from the menu
- Select the bitcoin wallet you want to send from
- Select SEND
- Enter the wallet address (Crypto sends can’t be reversed and you won’t get your money back if you send a wrong address so we recommend you copy directly from your e-coins wallet and paste.) click here to find and copy your wallet address.
- Enter the amount you want to send
- Enter a note if you want to (optional), and select NEXT
- Review the transaction, enter your PIN or two-factor authentication code (if necessary, depending on your device and settings) and select CONFIRM
Success! You’ve sent cryptocurrency.
