Transaction statuses and troubleshooting

Every transaction in Activity shows a status. Select a transaction to see its status and any action needed.

Status

What it means

Do I need to do anything?

Processing

On its way. Waiting on the network or a routine check

No

On hold

Paused for a check. Sometimes we need something from you

Only if the transaction shows a button

Completed

Done

No

Failed

It didn't go through

Usually just try again

Canceled

Stopped before completing

No

If we need something from you, the transaction will show a button. No button means it's being handled.

These are the buttons you might see:

  • Verify now — confirm it was really you. Usually the fastest to clear

  • Submit info — we need a document or a detail from you

  • Withdraw — send the funds back out, where we can't hold them in your account

  • Get help — our team needs to look at it with you

FAQ

1. My deposit didn't arrive, what happened?

  1. Look at the Activity tab. If its status there is Processing, it's on its way

  2. If it's On hold, check for a button and follow it

  3. If it's not in the Activity tab at all, the transfer hasn't reached us. Check if the app you sent from — has it confirmed as sent, and is there a transaction ID?

  4. Check if the network matches. Refer to Adding funds.

If your sending app shows it confirmed and there's nothing in Activity, contact support with the transaction ID, network, amount, and the address you sent to.

2. Why is my transaction on hold?

Transactions get held for routine reasons — the amount, a new destination, or a scheduled check. It doesn't mean something is wrong.

How long a hold takes to clear varies significantly depending on the reason, so we can't give a typical figure.

If there's no button, we're handling it and you'll be notified when it moves. If there's a button, following it is the fastest way through. Held transactions that go unanswered stay held.

3. My transaction failed. Where are my funds?

Check your balance — a failed transaction doesn't take your funds.

Common causes:

  • Not enough in your balance to cover the amount plus the fee

  • An invalid destination address, or the wrong network for that address

  • A limit reached

  • A network problem — try again

4. Why can't you support this currency?

Your OKX Money account holds USD stablecoins. If something arrives that we can't hold, we can't add it to your balance.

Select the transaction in the Activity tab and follow the button shown to send it back out to an external address, or to speak to our team.

To avoid this issue, only send the tokens listed on the deposit screen — USDG, USDC, or USDT — on one of the listed networks.
