5. FAQ

Q1: Is there a fee for retrieving my funds?

Fees are only collected if the retrieval is possible, and they are different in different types. You can check while applying for the retrieve or find the fee amount under your application.

Q2: How do I get the TxID of the returning deposit?

A: Please rest assured that there will be a notification mail/SMS.

Q3: Why is my application rejected? 

Here are some of the common reasons:
  • Incorrect TxID/TxHash or address. If your TxID/TxHash and address do not match or do not belong to KuCoin, we cannot help you recover it. Therefore, we strongly suggest you directly copy and paste the TxID/TxHash instead of entering it manually, and please ensure your deposit to your KuCoin address before submitting the application.
  • You deposited tokens via a chain that KuCoin does not support yet. In this condition, we're unable to retrieve tokens for you.
  • The transaction you are trying to retrieve has already arrived before or during the retrieval process. 
  • Your transaction hasn’t been confirmed or cannot be found on the blockchain, please confirm with the sending party.
  • The transaction you are trying to submit is not related to deposit retrieval (i.e., withdrawals-, fiat-).
