Users On Boarding

Do users have to do KYC each time they make a transaction?

No, users are only required to complete KYC once.

When their KYC is approved they only need to log into their Transak account to perform future transactions.
They can use the same KYC-approved Transak account with all of our partner integrations.

Yes, we do support this feature. Please refer KYC Reliance for more details.

If two websites are with same company then you can integrate with same API_KEY.

Otherwise you need to submit KYB for each company.

Is KYC required on the STAGING environment?

No it is not required in staging. You can use our Test Credentials in staging.

Is the Transak widget supported in any other languages than English?

As of now we support only English to communicate.

Gradually we will add other languages as well.

Payments

If a user makes a bank transfer how does Transak match it to the user?

We create a virtual bank account for each user and currency. So if a Transak user has only made GBP transactions they will be asked to transfer funds each time to a bank account that is unique to them. Any funds that are sent to that unique account are reconciled with transactions made by that user.

If the user transfers funds in multiple currencies they will be assigned a bank account for each currency.

If I make payment manually for an order how would Transak know I made the payment?

We create a virtual bank account for every user.

Using that, we track the payment.

How does Transak calculate prices and fees?

Transak is dedicated to being transparent about our pricing and fees. There are four variables that are used to calculate the total amount of cryptocurrency received for the chosen amount of fiat:

  1. Partner fee: P
    • A percentage charge applied on the transaction amount on behalf of the partner. This fee is configurable by partners.
  2. Transak fee: T
    • A percentage charge applied on the transaction amount on behalf of Transak. This covers the fiat processing costs so is set depending on the chosen payment method: credit/debit card or bank transfer. Our fees are set out ​​here.
  3. Network/Exchange fee: N
    • This is the sum of the blockchain transaction fees, or gas, that is paid to make the on-chain transfer of the crypto to the user’s wallet address, plus the withdrawal fee the exchange we are using to provide liquidity. These fees vary by blockchain network and cryptocurrency, as well as changing over time depending on network demand. This fee is set by the market not by us.
  4. Exchange rate: R
    • This is the conversion rate from fiat to cryptocurrency. It is calculated by taking an up-to-date quote of the market rate from multiple pricing services and adding a small slippage percentage. The slippage varies by cryptocurrency and is calculated according to the actual rate we are able to get in the market.

To calculate the total amount of cryptocurrency, C, for the specified amount of fiat currency, F, we calculate the total fees, deduct them from the fiat amount then convert the remainder to cryptocurrency at the market rate. The formula for this is as follows:

C =(F - (F x P% + F x T% + N) x R

So in the example screenshot below where the partner fee is 1% and the payment is a SEPA bank transfer, based on the market rates and blockchain transaction fees at the time:

C = (€1000 - (€1000 x 1% + €1000 x 0.99% + €0.59) x 0.0002482224
C = (€1000 - €20.49) x  0.0002482224
C = €979.51 x  0.0002482224
C = 0.24313632

Note that the market rate and network/exchange fee shown in the widget UI is an estimate. The final cryptocurrency amount the user receives is calculated when the fiat payment is settled.
