How Do I Send Crypto to Someone?

To send crypto, just tell Bankr what to send, how much, and where it should go — in plain English. No copy-pasting long wallet addresses unless you want to. Bankr always asks for confirmation before sending, so you'll see the recipient, amount, and chain before anything goes through.

How to Send a Transfer

  • send 0.05 ETH to 0x1234...abcd

  • send $50 of USDC to vitalik.eth

  • send 100 BNKR to @bankrbot on base

  • transfer $25 of ETH from base to my wallet on polygon

Supported Recipients

  • Wallet addresses — paste any valid EVM or Solana address

  • ENS names — like vitalik.eth; Bankr resolves them automatically

  • X (Twitter) handles — Bankr looks up the wallet linked to their Bankr account

Cross-Chain Transfers

Bankr handles bridging for you:

  • swap $50 USDC from polygon to ETH on base

  • bridge 0.1 ETH from ethereum to base

Cross-chain transfers use bridge aggregators and can take a few minutes to settle depending on the chains involved.

Which Chains Support Transfers?

All ten supported chains: Base, Ethereum, Polygon, Unichain, World Chain, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Robinhood Chain, Solana, and Hyperliquid. Gas is sponsored on Base, Polygon, Unichain, World Chain, BNB Chain, and Robinhood Chain — on the others, keep a small balance for gas.

Good to Know

  • If you don't specify a chain, Bankr picks the one where you have the highest balance.

  • Every transfer goes through Bankr's security layer, which checks for malicious addresses and phishing attempts.

  • Bankr blocks transfers to token contract addresses on EVM chains — tokens sent to a contract are usually lost forever. If you meant to convert one token into another, ask for a swap instead.

Common Issues

  • "Insufficient balance" — make sure you have enough of the token on the chain you're sending from.

  • "Could not resolve name" — double-check the ENS name or X handle.

  • Transfer stuck — cross-chain bridges can take a few minutes. Ask Bankr to check the status.
