Requirements and important information
- Deposits to CoinJar are not instantaneous, and usually take 1-2 hours to arrive.
- You should only deposit funds to CoinJar using a bank account held solely in your legal name. Deposits from business bank accounts, joint bank accounts, or bank accounts with outdated or incorrect names may be rejected.
- Some banks use a service called 'Confirmation of Payee' which is a name checking service aimed at reducing mistaken payments and fraud. When making a deposit to CoinJar, you may receive a 'No match' warning. This is because CoinJar uses a third party company to facilitate deposits and withdrawals. It is safe to proceed as long as you have ensured that the sort code and account number matches the one provided to you in the CoinJar app or website.
- CoinJar does not support deposits from bank accounts operated by Santander.
