It lets you accept payments in crypto, save the digital asset on the digital wallet, and convert it to naira at your convenience. It works like this: send wallet address to client > receive crypto/stablecoin > convert to naira > withdraw to a local bank account. This option works if you’re familiar with the crypto market.

Follow the steps below to receive crypto with the regular crypto deposit:

  • Select the Receive option on the Crane app.
  • Choose the asset you want to receive: Binance Coins (BNB), Bitcoin (BTC), Doge (DOGE), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), Tron (TRX), and USD Coin (USD).
  • Copy the wallet address and share it with your sender.

II. Bank Direct

This feature allows you to receive the naira equivalent of your crypto directly into your local bank account. It works like this: send wallet address to client >receive naira equivalent of the requested crypto in your local bank account. This feature is perfect for newbies, including freelancers in Nigeria, who don’t want to interact with the crypto market.

What if you don’t want to manually convert crypto? This is where our auto-convert feature comes in to automate your crypto-to-naira conversions.

You can configure the conversion when the crypto exceeds or drops below a particular rate. The feature helps you avoid the volatility of the crypto market and prevent loss.
