Easy Steps for Smooth Transfers
Starting Point: Begin by opening your Okto Wallet app. It's your gateway to simplified fund transfers.
Market Exploration: Tap on the ‘Market’ section on the homepage. Here's where the magic starts.
Token Selection: Identify the token you have on the international exchange that you wish to transfer. Make sure you’ve got the right one!
Receiving Funds: Click the three dots (፧) and select ‘Receive’. Then, choose the External Wallet & Exchange option. This step is crucial for directing your funds to the right place.
Linking Accounts: You'll see an option to link your exchange account. Go ahead and click on it. This is where Okto and MESH make things easier.
Choosing the Exchange: Select the exchange on which you hold funds.
Exchange Credentials: Log in using your international exchange credentials.
Amount Selection: Decide how much you want to move to your Okto wallet. Every bit counts!
Final Review: Preview the transfer and hit the ‘Send now’ button. Almost there!
2FA Verification: Complete the two-factor authentication to ensure a secure transfer. This is your digital handshake confirming the transaction.
Transfer complete: You have successfully transferred your funds from your exchange to your Okto wallet. Your transferred funds will be visible under the wallet section.
Pro Tip: If you have multiple tokens on exchange, swap them to a common token for a one-stop transfer.
Avoiding Common Errors
Mismatched Token Error: Be sure that the token you’re transferring matches between Exchange and Okto. Your transfer will fail if there’s a mismatch, like selecting USDC on BSC Chain on Okto but having USDC on Polygon chain on the exchange from where you are transferring.
2FA Setup: Ensure that you have at least two methods of 2FA enabled on your accounts. This secures your transaction and is also a requirement for a successful transfer.
Closing Thoughts
Transferring your crypto from any international exchange to Okto is now a breeze, thanks to their partnership with MESH. This guide should have helped you understand the steps clearly. Remember, the key is in the details - selecting the right token and ensuring your 2FA methods are set up. With this knowledge, you can manage your crypto assets more efficiently and utilize Okto’s offerings. Happy transferring!
