Bank Wire & OTC Desk
Five- and six-figure settlements, quoted by a human trader and normally executed the same day.
How it works
One appointment, one wire, coins the same day.
Book the desk
Book online or call (888) 811-2646. Bring a government-issued photo ID to your appointment.
Confirm your quote
a trader quotes your size against the live market and confirms it with you. No order book, no slippage.
Wire and settle
Send the wire from your bank. Once funds arrive, your coins normally settle to your wallet the same day.
Built for size
The desk exists for trades that don’t belong at a counter.
- Businesses and funds. Corporate buys, treasury moves, and high-volume personal trades.
- A human on the other side. You deal with a trader who quotes your whole size at one confirmed rate.
- Fully compliant. FinCEN-registered MSB, ID verification on every settlement.
The trade this desk was built for
Someone has held Bitcoin since well before it was easy to buy, and now needs a real amount of it in a bank account: a house deposit, a tax bill, a business purchase, a decision to take some risk off the table. On an exchange that is a multi-day exercise in withdrawal limits, holds and a support queue that answers by email. It is also the moment when a large transfer to a bank account gets flagged and frozen, because nobody told the bank it was coming.
The desk exists for that trade. You get a quote on the whole position at once rather than watching an order book fill in pieces, a named person handling it, and a paper trail your bank will accept. Most clients who use it once use it again, because the second time takes a phone call.
How pricing works on size
Large trades are not priced like small ones. We quote the whole amount as a single number, you see the rate and the fee together, and the quote holds for the window we tell you when we give it. If you accept, that is the trade. If the market moves while you think about it, we requote rather than quietly filling you at a worse price.
What moves a quote is size, the coin, and how quickly you need settlement. What does not move it is who you are or how the call goes. Ask for the number in writing before you commit; any desk worth trading with will give it to you.
What the desk needs from you
We are a registered Money Services Business, so trades of this size come with paperwork. Having it ready is the single biggest thing that turns a two-day settlement into a same-day one.
- Government photo ID, and for a business account, the entity documents and the names behind it.
- Bank details for the receiving account, in the same name as the person or entity trading.
- Source of funds or source of coins for larger tickets. Where it came from, in plain terms. Exchange statements, purchase records or a mining history all work.
- A heads-up to your bank if a wire of this size is unusual for the account. This prevents more delays than anything else on the list.
None of this is unusual for the amounts involved, and it is the same set of questions any licensed counterparty will ask. A counterparty that asks for none of it is the one to worry about.
Same-day, at size
Most trades settle the day you start them. Cash at the counter settles immediately; wires sent before the cut-off usually land the same afternoon. Whether a specific amount can be executed today depends on the size, the coin and the time you walk in, so the honest answer is to call the desk and ask. We would rather tell you Thursday than have you plan around Wednesday.
