Sell XRP with ACH

ACH is the batched dollar network American banks clear between themselves, and it is the usual way proceeds from a crypto sale reach an account. Sell XRP through it and Banxa takes the coins at a quoted rate, then releases dollars into the next outgoing file.

Start with the tag, because it is where XRP sellers lose money. Deposits to an exchange or payment provider almost always require a destination tag, a short number identifying which account at that address the funds belong to. Send without it, or with the wrong one, and the payment arrives at the address but not at your account. Recovery is a support process with no assured outcome.

On the other side, dollars land in a US checking or savings account in your own name, addressed by routing number and account number. An error in the account number is the worse of the two, since the credit often reaches a live account rather than failing cleanly.

ACH pays little attention to names. Credits post against the account number and many receiving banks never compare the name written beside it, so the requirement that the account be yours is Banxa's rule, checked before sending rather than caught by a bank afterwards.

Two clocks then run in sequence, though XRP's barely counts. The ledger closes every three to five seconds and a deposit is final the moment it does, with no confirmation count to wait out the way there is on a proof-of-work chain. Everything after that belongs to the banking side.

ACH does not move continuously. Payments are gathered into batches and released in scheduled windows, so a sale confirming just after a cut-off waits for the next. One to three business days is the quoted range, with Federal Reserve holidays closing the network alongside weekends.

This gives the sale two distinct ways to go wrong, one on each side. Miss the tag and the coins never reach your account at all. Get the bank details wrong and the dollars can post and then be returned days later, because ACH lets a receiving bank pull back a credit after it has landed.

Cost is carried inside the quoted rate rather than itemised, so the dollar figure on screen before you confirm is what arrives. XRP's own network fee is a tiny fraction of a coin and will not be the number you notice.

Limits apply per transaction and cumulatively over rolling periods, both varying with verification level and location. Crossing one does not necessarily stop a sale, and more often adds checks before the dollars are released. A first sale usually brings an identity check even for an established buyer, and larger amounts bring questions about where the XRP came from, which are worth answering promptly.

Once the coins reach Banxa's address the ledger has settled and nothing can be recalled, so the recovery boundary sits entirely on the dollar side. Availability also differs by state rather than applying evenly nationwide, which makes the quote screen the only guide worth trusting.
