# Fund your Stablecoin Account

> Two ways to add funds: transfer fiat in from your Global Account, or receive crypto at a deposit address.

[Stablecoin Account API Publisher Disclaimer](/stablecoin-account/v1.6/guide/stablecoin-account-api-publisher-disclaimer)

Before you can convert, withdraw, or transfer, your Stablecoin Account needs a balance. There are two ways to fund it:

  <Card title="Transfer in from your Global Account" icon="building-columns" href="/stablecoin-account/v1.6/guide/transfer-funds-between-stablecoin-account-and-global-account">
    Move fiat (for example USD) you already hold in your UQPAY Global Account into your Stablecoin Account.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Receive crypto deposits" icon="wallet" href="/stablecoin-account/v1.6/guide/receive-deposits">
    Generate a deposit wallet address and receive cryptocurrency sent from external wallets.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Transfer in fiat from your Global Account

If you already hold fiat in your UQPAY Global Account, a **transfer in** pulls it into your Stablecoin Account. Call [Create Transfer](/stablecoin-account/v1.6/api-reference/create-transfer) with `type: 4000` (Global Account → Stablecoin Account), the currency, and the amount. The funds land in the matching fiat wallet, ready to convert to crypto.

Typical use: on-ramping — fund with USD, then [convert](/stablecoin-account/v1.6/guide/convert-currencies) to a stablecoin for withdrawal.

See [Transfer funds](/stablecoin-account/v1.6/guide/transfer-funds-between-stablecoin-account-and-global-account) for the full request, response, and webhook flow.

## Receive crypto from an external wallet

To fund the account with cryptocurrency, request a **deposit wallet address** for the asset–network pair you want to receive on, and share it with the sender. UQPAY detects the incoming transaction, credits your balance once it confirms, and notifies you over the [Deposit webhook](/stablecoin-account/v1.6/webhooks/deposit).

Typical use: off-ramping — receive USDT or USDC from a customer's wallet, then convert to fiat and transfer out to your Global Account.

See [Receive deposits](/stablecoin-account/v1.6/guide/receive-deposits) for address generation, webhook handling, and order reconciliation.

<Warning>
  A deposit address only accepts the requested asset on the requested network. Funds sent as a different token, or over a different network, cannot be credited automatically.
</Warning>

## Which method to use

|              | Transfer in                                                                                 | Crypto deposit                                                                                           |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| Source       | Your UQPAY Global Account                                                                   | Any external wallet                                                                                      |
| How          | [Create Transfer](/stablecoin-account/v1.6/api-reference/create-transfer) with `type: 4000` | Share a [deposit address](/stablecoin-account/v1.6/api-reference/deposit-wallet-address) with the sender |
| Tracked via  | [Transfer webhook](/stablecoin-account/v1.6/webhooks/transfer)                              | [Deposit webhook](/stablecoin-account/v1.6/webhooks/deposit)                                             |

Either way, once funds are credited they appear in the wallet's `available_balance` — verify with [Retrieve Asset](/stablecoin-account/v1.6/api-reference/retrieve-asset) or review the ledger in [Manage asset balances](/stablecoin-account/v1.6/guide/manage-asset-balances).
