How fast is a USDT payment?
Time between blocks: 3 s on Tron, 12 s on Ethereum, 0.45 s on BNB Smart Chain. A block is a batch of payments the network writes down, and your payment needs to be in one before it counts. Here is how that compares with every other network we accept:

Mistakes to avoid with USDT
No TRX, ETH, or BNB for the fee
A wallet holding only USDT cannot send it. Add a little of the network's own coin first.
Picking the network on an exchange
When you withdraw from an exchange, it asks which network to use. Choose the same one you picked at our checkout.
How private is paying with USDT?
USDT payments are public on every network we accept. Stablecoins are issued by companies, and their terms let them freeze tokens on an address, for example for sanctions or law enforcement. That rarely affects ordinary payments, but it is the trade-off for a steady dollar value.
Whatever you pay with, the SimVala side stays the same: an account number instead of an email or name, and no ID to buy. For a private payment too, see paying with Monero.
