With Coinbase Wallet, sending money is now as easy as sending a text

Starting today, Coinbase Wallet is rolling out new features that make it easier, cheaper, and faster to send money worldwide. 

Let’s say you want to send money to family or friends in another country. Instead of dealing with the complexity of routing numbers, bank account numbers, expensive wire transfers, bank fees, and waiting up to 5 business days for the money to become available, simply use a link from Coinbase Wallet to send via your favorite messaging and social apps with no fees and instant settlement.

Need to pay a friend, send a last-minute gift, or tip a tour guide? No need to download multiple apps or search through a sea of usernames and profiles. Just create a link in Coinbase Wallet and share. With just a few taps you can send money around the world.

Sending money is now as easy as sending a text, direct message, or email—wherever you already connect with friends and family. And because Coinbase Wallet is available in 20 languages and over 170 countries, your money can be claimed anytime around the world.

Send money on any platform you can share a link

We’ve made it easy to send money anywhere you can share a link, whether it’s through messaging apps like WhatsApp, iMessage, and Telegram, social media platforms like Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram, or even via email.

When your recipient clicks the shared link, it’ll take them into the Coinbase Wallet app to claim or direct them to download the Coinbase Wallet app on iOS or Android and create a new wallet in just 1-click. It’s that simple. And if the funds are not claimed within 2 weeks, they will automatically be returned to the sender.

Receive money from any crypto exchange or self-custody wallet and send USDC globally with no fees on networks like Arbitrum, Avax, Base, Optimism, and Polygon. You can also send payments in thousands of coins, including fee-free USDC, through Coinbase Wallet messaging. 

Together with payment aggregator integrations, we’re making crypto and stable currencies accessible worldwide.

Simplifying the payments experience

These updates reflect our commitment to making money transfers easier, cheaper, faster, and borderless. By reducing complexity and fees while expanding global access, we're enabling millions of people to engage with the cryptoeconomy in meaningful ways.
