Making a deposit into your OKX account is a straightforward process when using the mobile application. This guide will walk you through each step to ensure your funds are transferred securely and efficiently.
Step-by-Step Deposit Guide
Open the OKX App
Begin by launching the OKX application on your mobile device. You can access the deposit feature from two primary locations within the app:
- From the home screen, tap on the Deposit button.
- Alternatively, navigate to the Assets section and select Deposit.
Both options will direct you to the same deposit interface.
Select Your Cryptocurrency and Network
Once on the deposit page, choose the cryptocurrency you wish to deposit. After selecting the asset, you must specify the deposit network. It is crucial to select the same network on both OKX and your sending platform to avoid any loss of funds.
Generate Deposit Details
After selecting the currency and network, your deposit details will be automatically generated. These include a unique deposit address and a QR code.
Choose Receiving Account
In the Deposit to field, select your preferred OKX account where you want the funds to be credited. This ensures the assets are allocated correctly within your wallet.
Copy Address or Scan QR Code
You have two convenient options to complete the transfer:
- Tap Copy to copy the deposit address, then paste it into your withdrawal platform’s application.
- Alternatively, use the QR code scanner within your withdrawal platform to scan the code provided by OKX.
Share Deposit Details
If needed, you can select Share deposit details to send the information to friends or family, making it easier for them to transfer funds to your account.

Important Considerations
- Network Matching: Always ensure the cryptocurrency and network selected on OKX match those on your withdrawal platform. Mismatched networks may result in permanent loss of assets.
- Minimum Deposit: Check the Deposit page for the minimum deposit amount, required confirmations, and contact address. Deposits below the minimum will not be credited.
- Tag/Memo Requirements: Some cryptocurrencies, like XRP, require a tag or memo (a string of digits) in addition to the deposit address. Failure to include this information may lead to loss of funds.
