Imagine this: You’re waiting to receive $100 worth of Bitcoin from a friend, only to open your Pandar wallet and see $86. Disappointing, right? You may wonder, "Did Pandar take a cut?" Let’s clear things up.

Receiving crypto is free on Pandar!

When sending crypto, there are hidden layers of fees that can make a real difference. Let’s walk through a common scenario:


1. Blockchain Transaction Fees


Then there’s the blockchain fee, a necessary cost to process Bitcoin transactions. The sender might lose another $2 here.

So, out of the original $100, only $86 makes it to your Pandar wallet.


2. High Fees at Bitcoin ATMs


Bitcoin ATMs offer convenience, but often at a steep price. When your sender uses an ATM to buy Bitcoin, they may face fees as high as 12%.

In our example, that $100 cash turns into $88 worth of Bitcoin after the ATM fee alone.

3. Cryptocurrency Volatility

The value of cryptocurrencies can experience significant fluctuations, even within short periods.

For example, if you sent $100 worth of Bitoin at 1pm and Bitcoin rate dips at 1:02pm, you will receive lower than the $100 worth of Bitcoin you sent due to the dip.

4. ​Transfer Fees

When you send cryptocurrency through Cashapp or other apps, a fee is typically charged by the sending app to process the transaction.

The amount of this fee is determined and taken by the platfom, not Pandar.


So, What Role Does Pandar Play?


Here’s the good news:

Pandar doesn’t charge any fees for receiving crypto. Every dollar deducted along the way is from third-party processes like ATMs, Cashapp or blockchain networks, not Pandar.

We understand how frustrating it can be to receive less than expected—especially when you’re counting on that amount. Our goal is to make sure every cent sent reaches you without adding extra charges.
