How to Receive Payments in Crypto Internationally (Fast, Simple & Safe)
So, someone wants to pay you in crypto.
Maybe you’re a freelancer.
Maybe you sell products or services online.
Maybe you’re just helping a friend abroad.
The problem?
You’ve never received crypto before.
It sounds complicated. Risky. Maybe even a little scary.
But here’s the truth:
Receiving payments in crypto is actually really easy—and often way better than traditional banking.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to receive payments in crypto internationally, step by step, without getting lost in the tech.
Why Receive Money in Crypto?
Let’s be honest—traditional payment systems are:
-
Slow
-
Expensive
-
Full of hidden fees
-
Not always available in every country
Crypto gives you:
-
Instant payments (in minutes)
-
Low fees (sometimes less than $0.01)
-
Access from anywhere
-
No need for a bank account
Whether you’re in Armenia, Argentina, or anywhere else—you can get paid directly.
What You Need to Start
Only 3 simple things:
1. A Crypto Wallet
This is your app to receive the payment. We recommend:
-
Trust Wallet (easy, mobile-based)
-
Binance (easy and connected to an exchange)
-
OurTeamClub Wallet (launching soon — beginner-focused)
2. A Stablecoin Address
Ask to be paid in USDT or USDC — these are stablecoins, meaning they stay equal to 1 US dollar.
Avoid Bitcoin or Ethereum unless you’re okay with the price changing quickly.
3. The Right Network
TRC20 (for USDT) and BEP20 (for BNB or BUSD) are fast and cheap.
Let the sender know what network your wallet uses.
Step-by-Step: How to Receive Crypto Payments Internationally
Step 1: Set Up Your Wallet
Download the app, follow the steps, and back up your secret phrase (write it down on paper — don’t share it).
Step 2: Choose the Coin You Want to Receive
For most people, that’s USDT on TRC20. It’s stable, easy to find, and cheap to send.
Step 3: Copy Your Wallet Address
Open your wallet app, choose USDT, and tap “Receive.”
Copy the address — it looks like a long string of numbers and letters.
Step 4: Send It to the Payer
Text or email it to the person who’s paying you. Tell them exactly which network to use (e.g. “USDT TRC20”).
Step 5: Wait a Few Minutes
Most transfers arrive in under 5 minutes. You’ll see the amount show up in your wallet. That’s it!
Bonus Tips to Keep It Safe
-
✅ Only share your public wallet address, never your private key
-
✅ Always confirm the network with the sender
-
✅ Test with a small amount first, then the rest
-
✅ Use 2FA if your wallet supports it
-
✅ Don’t store large amounts in your phone wallet — use cold storage for savings
What to Do After You Get Paid
You’ve got crypto. Now what?
You can:
-
Keep it as savings
-
Swap it for another coin
-
Sell it for your local currency (inside Binance, for example)
-
