Selling crypto

Send cryptocurrency and receive fiat via Revolut, PayPal, or bank transfer.

Overview

Sell routes let you deposit crypto to a Faint Exchange address and receive fiat manually to your Revolut, PayPal, or bank account. The service fee is 4%. These are manual payout routes — a human confirms your deposit and sends fiat, so allow time for blockchain confirmations plus processing.

Deposit rules — read carefully

Critical

  • Send only the asset and network shown on your order — wrong network = lost funds.
  • Send the exact amount quoted (or contact support before sending a different amount).
  • Do not send from an exchange that strips memo/tag if one is required.
  • Deposits from mixers or sanctioned sources may be rejected per our Terms.

Internal conversion (0.5%)

If you sell an asset that must be converted through LTC or USDC on Base internally, an additional 0.5% conversion fee applies. This is shown in your quote before you confirm.

Entering payout details correctly

Revolut

  • Provide your active Revolut @tag or linked phone/email as requested on the form.
  • Ensure your Revolut account can receive the payout currency (GBP/EUR/USD).

PayPal

  • Use the email registered to your PayPal account.
  • F&F vs G&S affects how PayPal treats the payment — pick the option you agreed to on the form.
  • PayPal may hold or review large payments — tell support if your account is new or limited.

Bank transfer

  • IBAN must be valid for SEPA (EU) or provide wire details as shown.
  • Include any reference staff request so they can match your payout.
  • Bank holidays and intermediary banks can delay arrival.
