Yes. Verify once in Atom Wallets, cash out to South Africa and collect with your passport at a participating MoneyGram location.

Question 2

What do I receive?

Accepted Answer

Cash in South African rand (ZAR). You see the exact amount, rate and fee before you confirm.

Question 3

Which crypto do I need?

Accepted Answer

Right now, MoneyGram cash pickup supports USDC on the Solana network. You can receive USDC on Solana directly into Atom Wallets. Holding USDT, BTC, ETH, SOL or another coin? Swap it to USDC on Solana in the app first, then cash out. More coins are coming soon.

Question 4

Can I cash out USDT or other coins?

Accepted Answer

Not directly yet. Swap them to USDC on Solana inside Atom Wallets in a few taps, then cash out. Support for more coins is coming in the next few days and weeks.

Question 5

Do I need SOL to cash out?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Keep a small amount of SOL (Solana’s own coin) in your wallet. Sending USDC on Solana needs a small Solana network fee, and that fee is paid in SOL. If you have no SOL, swap a little from another coin in Atom Wallets first.

Question 6

What exchange rate do I get?

Accepted Answer

The rate comes straight from our licensed partner, MoneyGram, and Atom Wallets adds no markup on top. Rates move during the day, so the app shows the exact rate before you confirm. You can check today’s rate in the calculator on this page.

Question 7

What are the limits and fees?

Accepted Answer

Cash out is from $5 to $2,500 in USDC on Solana per transaction. Cash in is from $5 to $950 per transaction. A service fee and a platform fee apply. The app shows both fees, the exchange rate and the exact amount you receive before you confirm. You also need a small amount of SOL in your wallet to pay the Solana network fee.

Accepted Answer

Send USDC on Solana from Atom Wallets to a MoneyGram cash pickup in South Africa. You get a reference number in minutes and collect South African rand at a participating store with your photo ID. The app shows the ZAR amount, the rate and the fees before you confirm.

Question 9
