6. Copy your USDT wallet address

Avoid typing the address manually. Crypto wallet addresses are long strings of characters, and a small mistake can send funds to the wrong destination.
7. Send the wallet address to the sender

Before the sender confirms the transaction, make sure they are sending:
USDT
To the exact wallet address you provided
Using the same network you selected in Accrue

How Long Does a USDT Deposit Take on Accrue?
USDT deposits can reflect within minutes once the transaction has been detected and processed.
However, blockchain transactions can sometimes take longer depending on network conditions, confirmation times, or issues with the sending platform.
If your deposit does not appear after the expected time:
Check that the sender used the correct wallet address.
Confirm that they selected the same network shown in Accrue.
Check the transaction status on the sending platform.
Check your Accrue transaction history.
Contact Accrue support if the transaction remains unresolved.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Receiving USDT on Accrue
Receiving USDT is straightforward, but crypto transactions are generally irreversible once sent. Take a few seconds to verify the details before the sender confirms the transfer.
Using the wrong network
This is one of the most important things to check.
USDT can exist on different blockchain networks. For example, USDT can be issued on Tron, Ethereum, Solana and other networks.
If Accrue gives you a TRX network option, make sure the sender also chooses the corresponding Tron network when sending your USDT.
Never assume that two USDT addresses are interchangeable simply because they both say “USDT.”
Sending a different cryptocurrency
Make sure the sender is sending USDT, not another token.
Different cryptocurrencies can use similar-looking wallet addresses, but that does not mean they can be deposited into the same wallet.
Copying the wallet address incorrectly
Always copy the address directly from your Accrue app.
Do not type it manually, and check the address again before the sender confirms the transaction.
Sending before checking the network
Before sharing your address, tell the sender exactly which network to use. Always send USDT using the same network shown on your deposit screen.
Sending a large amount without checking first
If you’re receiving USDT from a new sender or platform for the first time, consider verifying the wallet address and network before sending a large payment.
For significant transfers, you may also want to confirm the transaction details with both parties before the transfer is initiated.
Ignoring the transaction history
If your USDT does not appear when expected, check your transaction history and the transaction status on the sending platform.
Pending transactions are not included in the available balance until the transaction is complete.
