What It Means to Send USDC

Sending crypto means moving your digital assets from your wallet to someone else’s. This is similar to sending a bank transfer or using a payment app. Sending stablecoins is fast, secure, and available anytime without the need to wait for banking hours. 

You might send USDC to:

• Pay a friend
• Shop online
• Pay a contractor or vendor
   

To send USDC, you need:

• A wallet that holds USDC
• The recipient’s wallet address or a scannable QR code
• Confirmation of the correct blockchain network, such as Ethereum or Stellar

What It Means to Receive USDC

Receiving crypto is even easier. All you need to do is share your wallet address or QR code with the sender and wait for the funds to arrive.

To receive USDC:

• Open your wallet and select the correct blockchain network
• Copy your wallet address or display your QR code
• Share it with the sender

To receive USDC, think of your wallet address as your digital account number. Use the correct network to ensure the transaction goes through smoothly.

For Businesses: Stablecoin Transfers That Support Global Growth

For companies that operate internationally, using a secure and reliable USDC wallet for business is critical.

You may need to:

• Pay international vendors or contractors
• Receive crypto payments from clients or partners

A strong stablecoin payment solution for companies should offer transfer approvals, audit trails, and compliance features.

OwlPay Wallet Pro Enterprise allows teams to:

• Easily access on and off ramp services
• Set tiered approvals for transactions
• Assign multi-role permission settings
• View full transaction history and audit trails

Use case:

An e-commerce platform based in the US serves customers from around the world. Currency exchange and cross-border payments created friction during the checkout process. To solve this, the company introduced USDC as a new payment option.

Now, players can complete their purchases using their own crypto wallet apps without needing to convert currencies or deal with FX fees. On the business side, the company receives USDC directly into its enterprise wallet and uses it to pay contractors and partners in different countries.

For Individuals: Simple and Flexible Everyday Payments

If you are a freelancer, remote worker, expat, or someone living in an underbanked or high-inflation region, being able to send stablecoins and receive crypto payments can provide greater financial control.

You can:

• Get paid directly in USDC
• Send money to family or friends
• Pay at shops or online stores that accept stablecoins

Use case:

A freelance designer in Canada completes a project for a client in the US. She receives USDC as payment, uses part of it to pay her rent, and spends the rest at a local store that accepts stablecoins. No bank account or exchange is needed.
