When paying to a crypto wallet for the first time, it’s important to verify that the recipient can access the funds. Test payments help ensure wallet ownership before larger amounts are sent. A test payment is a small transfer sent to a crypto wallet to confirm that the intended recipient has access to that wallet. This step is recommended when:
You’re paying a new wallet for the first time
You’re unsure who controls the address
You want to verify the funds can be accessed before sending a larger payment
How it works
Send a small amount you won't miss
The recipient gets notified and is asked to confirm they have access to the funds
The wallet gets marked as "verified" once confirmed
