WazirX: How to Add a Bank Account

You can link your bank account (for IMPS transactions) and UPI details to your WazirX account once you have completed the KYC process. Note that adding your banking information is a prerequisite for engaging in any cryptocurrency trading. However, you can edit your profile as often as you like (up to five times). The authentication procedure will need to be started again whenever a new account is created.  

Multiple UPI identifiers and bank accounts can be added. Then, from the available payment methods, you can choose your preferred default Bank/UPI account.  

To ensure that your INR transactions go through without a hitch at the bank's end, we double-check both the bank account and UPI ID you use.

WazirX users, here's how to link your bank account:

Step 1: 

In the mobile device's "Settings" menu, tap "Banking & Payment options."

On the web, access your account settings by selecting the gear icon (circled in the image below) and then clicking "Account Settings." Then select "PAYMENT OPTIONS" from the menu that appears.

Second, select "ADD A NEW PAYMENT OPTION" under "BANK ACCOUNT" on your mobile device or computer.

Third, provide the requested information and send the form (on mobile or desktop).

Our teams will double-check the bank information after you submit it to us.

WazirX: Adding Your UPI Information

The first step is the same for both mobile and desktop users.

Second, select "ADD A NEW PAYMENT OPTION" under "UPI."

Third, provide the information requested and send the form.

The UPI information you provide will be checked by our teams once submitted.

Note: 

• Once you link your Bank account to your WazirX account, we will immediately verify your Bank account and UPI.  
• To avoid any confusion, please only link the bank account and/or UPI ID that is in your name. It is not possible to verify a WazirX account unless the name on the account and the name on the bank account are the same.

You'll receive an email as soon as your information has been confirmed.

Things to keep in mind

• Withdrawals from your WazirX account to your Indian Rupee bank account may take a little longer than usual in rare circumstances. Those funds are safe with us; don't worry. We have a proven track record of success, with all reported cases ending in successful refunds to the original account holders (via WazirX or traditional banking). WazirX merely takes a deposit and doesn't keep any of the funds.
