Your Bitcoin is sent successfully, and you are redirected to the Wallet page.


Note: To ensure a successful transaction status, you can go to the Transactions tab and check your last outgoing transaction. If you made a transaction to a non-Paxful wallet, read our article on how to check the transaction status for such transfers.



Warning: If your country is on the OFAC grey list, sending Bitcoin to an external wallet requires you to verify your ID.
