How to Sell Cryptocurrency from Trust Wallet to Your Bank Account

·

Selling cryptocurrency from Trust Wallet and transferring the proceeds to your bank account is a straightforward process when you understand the right steps. While Trust Wallet itself doesn’t support direct fiat withdrawals, it seamlessly integrates with centralized exchanges that do. By transferring your digital assets—such as BNB, Bitcoin, or Ethereum—to a supported exchange, you can convert them into local currency (like USD or EUR) and withdraw the funds directly to your bank.

This guide walks you through the entire process, from selecting the right exchange to completing your first offramp transaction. Whether you're cashing out profits or managing your portfolio, this step-by-step tutorial ensures a secure and efficient experience.

Understanding the Offramp Process

Converting cryptocurrency to fiat money is commonly referred to as an "offramp." Trust Wallet, while powerful for storing and swapping tokens, doesn’t offer built-in bank withdrawal features. Instead, you’ll need to use a centralized exchange—a trusted platform that supports fiat onramps and offramps.

Here’s how it works:

Alternatively, peer-to-peer (P2P) trading allows direct sales to other users. However, this method carries higher risk unless you're dealing with trusted parties. For safety and simplicity, we recommend using regulated exchanges.

Step 1: Choose a Supported Cryptocurrency Exchange

Not all exchanges support every token or offer bank withdrawals in every region. To find the right platform:

  1. Visit CoinGecko and search for your token (e.g., BNB).
  2. Click the Markets tab to see which exchanges list your asset.
  3. Look for trading pairs that include your local currency (e.g., BNB/USD).

Popular exchanges with strong offramp capabilities include:

Ensure the exchange operates in your country and supports your preferred banking method—such as ACH, SEPA, or wire transfers.

Pro Tip: If you hold a less common token (e.g., Safemoon), consider swapping it within Trust Wallet for a widely accepted asset like BNB or ETH before sending it to an exchange.

Step 2: Set Up and Verify Your Exchange Account

Before transferring funds, create and verify your exchange account:

Verification times vary but typically take 24–48 hours. Most platforms now support instant bank linking via services like Plaid.

Step 3: Transfer Crypto from Trust Wallet to the Exchange

Once your exchange account is ready, follow these steps:

1. Get Your Deposit Address

⚠️ Critical: Always confirm the correct network (e.g., BEP-20, ERC-20). Sending tokens via the wrong chain may result in permanent loss.

2. Send from Trust Wallet

Transaction speed depends on network congestion—typically a few minutes to several hours.

Step 4: Sell Crypto for Fiat Currency

After your tokens arrive in the exchange wallet:

  1. Go to the Trade or Sell section.
  2. Choose your cryptocurrency and select your local currency (e.g., USD).
  3. Execute a market sell or set a limit order based on current prices.

Some platforms like Coinbase offer one-click "Instant Sell" options at market rate. Others may require placing an order on the exchange book.

Fees apply per trade—usually between 0.1% and 1%, depending on the platform and payment method.

Step 5: Withdraw Funds to Your Bank Account

With fiat now in your exchange balance:

  1. Go to Withdraw > Fiat.
  2. Select your linked bank account.
  3. Enter the withdrawal amount.
  4. Confirm the transaction.

Processing times vary:

Some exchanges also support PayPal withdrawals.

Using DEX to Swap Obscure Tokens

If you hold a low-volume or “dark” token not listed on major exchanges:

  1. Use Trust Wallet’s built-in DEX (Decentralized Exchange) feature.

  2. Tap Swap or Exchange:

    • Swap: Instant conversion at market rate.
    • Exchange: Set your own price and wait for execution.
  3. Convert your token into a mainstream one like BNB, ETH, or BTC.

For broader options, connect to PancakeSwap:

Once swapped, transfer the new asset to a centralized exchange and proceed with selling.

Understanding Transaction Fees

Trust Wallet does not charge service fees. However, blockchain networks do:

Always keep a small reserve of the native token to cover transaction costs. Without it, your transfer or swap will fail.

Fees fluctuate based on network demand—use tools like ETH Gas Station to estimate optimal times.
