Crypto at Sly: fast, convenient and dangerously easy to overlook
Crypto appeals through simplicity: an address, an amount, a confirmation — and the money is in the account. From a control point of view that simplicity is the problem. When you pay by card, your bank lists every line in the statement. When you pay from a crypto wallet, the spending lives in another app, in another unit and often in another mental category — "this isn't real money". This page covers what to check technically and how to stop crypto from blurring your money stop.
Available methods and limits depend on the operator and your account — check the cashier. We do not know which coins and networks Sly shows to every account; there is a separate guide to Bitcoin.
Technical rules that don't forgive
- The network must match. The same coin can travel on different networks. If the cashier shows an address for one network and you send on another, the funds may be lost.
- Paste the address, never type it. Copy it from the cashier and compare the first and last characters.
- Transfers are irreversible. No bank can stop them and there is no chargeback as with a card.
- Deposit addresses can change. Take the current address from the cashier before each transfer, not from your history.
Deposit with crypto
In the cashier you pick the coin and the network, copy the address and send from your own wallet. The balance is credited after a number of network confirmations. If your account runs in euros, the operator converts at its own rate — check that rate before sending. Price movement between sending and crediting is your risk.
Withdrawal to a crypto wallet
For a withdrawal you enter your wallet address and the network. A wrong address means lost money. The operator may require identity verification before a crypto payout too, even though the transfer itself runs on a blockchain. Minimums and fees are listed in the cashier.
Why crypto makes spending invisible
Three things weaken a money stop with crypto. First, amounts are not in euros in front of you but in coins with many decimal places. Second, deposits don't appear in the bank statement you check at the end of the month. Third, speed — there is no bank approval step in which to reconsider. So if you use crypto, set a deposit limit in euros in your account settings and keep a separate note of every transfer. If you find you don't know how much you sent this month, that is a warning light — see Session control.
