Our OTC service is open to both individuals and corporates looking to buy, sell or trade a large amount of crypto. Our minimum order size is $50,000. However, we do offer some flexibility for smaller market-cap assets.

You can deposit USD, AUD and NZD via SWIFT.

We process the withdrawal of AUD in real-time. SWIFT transfers can take 2 or more business days depending on your financial institution.

For OTC trades, the quotes provided are all-inclusive. There are no hidden fees. However, there may be deposit and withdrawal fees depending on the volume and currency you are depositing or withdrawing.

Over-the-counter (OTC) trades are facilitated by our professional trading experts who connect buyers and sellers looking to buy or sell large amounts of crypto. Whereas, exchange trading is where a market order is done through a public order book, where anyone can make smaller trades with instant settlement.

For most crypto traders, trading on a transparent, reliable exchange like Independent Reserve will satisfy all trading needs. However, for large volume block trades ($50,000 and above), executing all at once on an exchange is likely to have a negative impact on the price. This is what’s known as price slippage. OTC trading eliminates this risk.

Get fast all-inclusive quotes and minimise price slippage via our OTC desk.

An OTC desk provides investors looking to make a large transaction with certain benefits such as personalised service, increased privacy, reduced slippage and access to deep liquidity.

You can access our order book 24/7 to enjoy instant settlements.

OTC orders are typically settled within a few hours of the trade being placed. For certain deals, we may need up to one business day. If you have specific requirements for settlement, we are happy to work with you to meet your needs.

All coin pairings found on the Independent Reserve exchange are available through our OTC service. Speak to a relationship manager if you are looking for more information on token-specific pricing.

There are simple and advanced ways to trade on the order book. The different ways to trade on the order book include:

• Market order
• Limit order
• Stop limit order
