Who can activate a payment link?
Payment linksMerchants·Where enabled·Updated
A payment link can be activated by a verified business or a verified individual. You can create drafts before verification. Activation depends on the selected product, route and account eligibility. Supported Bridge bank and provider methods require the applicable individual or business verification. Direct crypto-processing routes have separate conditions; review the capabilities and verification requirements shown in your account.
Eligibility for provider payment links
| No verification | Draft provider payment links, invoices and clients. Activation of provider payment methods requires the applicable verification and eligibility. |
|---|---|
| Verified business | Activate links; bank and crypto methods where enabled. |
| Verified individual | Activate links. Links from an individual account have extra limits. |
As of 5 October 2026. From the Swaps product and pricing.
Limits for individual accounts
- Each link can be for up to USD 4,000 or the equivalent in another currency, and PIX and Faster Payments are not offered.
- Your links start with crypto; bank methods are added once bank payments are enabled for your account.
- When the payer is also an individual, a single payment can be up to the equivalent of USD 4,000 by SEPA, MXN 15,000 by SPEI, and USD 2,000 by ACH, wire or FedNow (USD 4,000 if your account is confirmed as US-resident).
- A verified business does not have these individual-account limits.
Only want crypto?
Crypto processing pays stablecoins into your own wallet and needs no bank account. Bank services and other provider routes have their own verification requirements.
Who checks
For supported bank and provider payment methods, Bridge runs its check on its own page. Direct crypto-processing routes have separate conditions. See how long it takes.
Use the correct personal or business profile and review the capabilities shown in your account; do not misrepresent your status to obtain a rail or limit.
