Step-by-Step: Deposit via Crypto Transfer (Recommended for Best Rates)
For optimal value, we recommend buying USDT on a local exchange like MAX using TWD, then transferring it to OKX.
Step 1: Fund Your Local Exchange Account
Log into MAX Exchange → Go to Wallet → Select TWD → Choose “Deposit” → Use your bank to transfer NTD to the provided account. Funds typically reflect within 5–10 minutes.
⚠️ Note: Transfers from non-registered banks may be rejected and refunded.
Step 2: Buy USDT with TWD
Navigate to the USDT/TWD trading pair → Enter amount in TWD or USDT → Complete purchase at the displayed rate.
Step 3: Transfer USDT to OKX
In OKX app: Tap Assets → Deposit → Select USDT → Choose network: TRC-20 (Tron) → Copy deposit address.
Back in MAX: Go to Wallet → Send USDT → Add new recipient → Paste OKX address → Select TRC-20 protocol → Confirm transaction.
🔐 Critical: Always double-check the network and address. Mismatched networks can result in permanent fund loss.
Transfers usually complete within 5–10 minutes. Once received, you’re ready to trade BTC, ETH, or any supported asset.

C2C Trading: Buy Crypto Directly with TWD
C2C (Customer-to-Customer), also known as P2P trading, lets you buy USDT directly from sellers using local payment methods like Line Pay or bank transfer.
How It Works:
- In OKX app: Go to Assets → Deposit → C2C Trading.
- Select currency (TWD) and crypto (e.g., USDT).
- Filter offers by payment method (e.g., Line Pay).
- Pick a highly-rated seller with good volume and fast response.
- Enter TWD amount → Click “Buy USDT”.
- After payment, click “I have paid” → Seller releases USDT from escrow.
OKX holds the crypto in escrow until payment confirmation, ensuring safety for both parties.
💬 Pro Tip: Always communicate only within the OKX chat system and confirm receipt before releasing funds.
Using Third-Party Payment Platforms
For broader payment options, visit OKX Web and navigate to Buy Crypto > Third-Party Payments.
You’ll see real-time quotes across providers like Alchemy Pay and Simplex. Compare which gives you the most USDT per TWD, then:
- Enter TWD amount.
- Choose provider with best rate.
- Click “Buy Now” → Select card payment.
- Enter card details → Confirm.
Funds usually arrive within 10 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I deposit TWD directly into OKX?
No, OKX does not accept direct fiat deposits in TWD. However, you can use P2P trading, third-party payment gateways, or transfer USDT purchased on local exchanges to fund your account.
What is the safest way to deposit into OKX?
The safest method is C2C trading with escrow protection or using reputable third-party providers like Alchemy Pay. Avoid sharing personal info outside the platform.
Why hasn’t my deposit arrived?
Common reasons include:
- Network congestion delaying blockchain confirmations

Yes — convert crypto to USDT via trading, then use C2C selling to exchange USDT for TWD and receive bank transfers from buyers.
