Bit2Me: proving you own your self-custody wallet
When you send to a new external address, Bit2Me asks whether the destination wallet is yours or someone else's and whether it is custodial (an exchange) or self-custody. The address is saved to your Address Book so you are not asked again. Bit2Me's official API lets the user state that they control an unhosted wallet ("ownershipVerified"). The help articles we checked do not describe a Satoshi test or a message-signing step.
When Bit2Me asks
Where: Spain / EU (Travel Rule under Regulation (EU) 2023/1113). Bit2Me says the obligation to collect and verify transfer information has applied since December 30, 2024, for transfers to and from other platforms and self-hosted wallets.
Threshold: Bit2Me's customer Travel Rule FAQ does not publish a euro threshold. Its official API docs also say a public EUR threshold is not published. Expect the wallet-type questions on every new external send address.
Accepted verification methods
| Method | Status | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wallet type + ownership declaration | Accepted | On a new send address, indicate whether the destination wallet is yours or someone else's, and whether it is on a custodial platform or self-custody, then name the address to save it to your Address Book. Bit2Me's API describes the unhosted-wallet field as "the user's statement that they control the counterparty wallet (proof of ownership)". If the wallet belongs to someone else, their name and country are required.[1][3] |
| Email authorisation for first-time addresses | Accepted | The first time you send to an address, Bit2Me emails your verified email address so you can authorise the send.[1] |
| Message signing | Not listed | Not described in the Bit2Me withdrawal and Travel Rule help articles or the Travel Rule API reference we checked.[1][2][3] |
| Satoshi test | Not listed | Not described in the Bit2Me articles we checked.[1][2] |
| Screenshot | Not listed | Not mentioned in the Bit2Me articles we checked. |

Step by step
Withdraw to your own self-custody wallet[1]
- Open the crypto you want to send (app or web) and tap Send, then choose a send to an external address (blockchain).
- If the address is already in your Address Book under "Frequent send addresses", select it and continue. Saved addresses cannot be edited; delete and re-create to change one.
- Otherwise tap "Add new send address", pick the currency, enter the amount and choose the network. The network must match your wallet's network.
- Paste or scan your wallet address (add the memo/tag if the network needs one).
- Indicate the destination wallet type: that it is yours and that it is self-custody. Give the address a name (for example "Savings") so it is saved for next time.
- Review the summary and tap Confirm send before the price timer runs out.
- Enter your 2FA code. Stablecoin sends (USDC, EURC) are verified by SMS (or sometimes email) instead of Google Authenticator.
- For a first-time address, open the email Bit2Me sends to your verified email and authorise the send.
Bit2Me says sends to external wallets cannot be cancelled or reversed. Check the network and memo before you confirm. Open the verifier →
Sending to someone else's wallet[1][3]
- Choose that the wallet belongs to someone else.
- Say whether the recipient is a person or a company and enter their name (and surname for a person) and country.
- If the destination is an exchange wallet, enter the name of that exchange.
Common errors and fixes
Withdrawal restricted or error message after sending
Bit2Me says to check your email in case they have contacted you, or open a support ticket.[1]
Send stuck waiting for information
Bit2Me's API docs say an operation left in "pending_user_information" without the Travel Rule details is cancelled within a few hours. Answer the wallet-type questions promptly when the app asks.[3]
Need to change a saved address
Saved Address Book entries cannot be edited. Delete the address and create a new one.[1]
FAQ
Does Bit2Me block sends to self-custody wallets?
No. Bit2Me says the Travel Rule does not affect your ability to send or receive crypto. It asks extra questions about the sender and recipient, including self-hosted wallets.
Do I have to sign a message or send a test amount?
The Bit2Me articles we checked describe declaring the wallet type and ownership, plus email authorisation for first-time addresses. They do not describe a signature or Satoshi test. Follow the live prompt if a different method appears.
Can I email [email protected] for help?
Bit2Me says that address is only for exchanges dealing with Travel Rule interoperability, not for individual users. Use Bit2Me support instead.
