FAQ – Depositing Funds into Digital Surge

1. How long does it take for deposits to arrive from Commonwealth (CBA)?

⚠️ Important: If you're depositing from Commonwealth Bank (CBA), please note they have a policy that delays crypto-related payments by up to 24 hours. This delay is enforced by CBA and cannot be expedited by Digital Surge.

You can monitor the status of your payment in your CBA app, where it will appear as "pending" until released.

As soon as we receive the funds, they’ll be credited to your account automatically.

2. What’s the minimum deposit amount?

The minimum amount you can deposit into your Digital Surge account is $20 AUD.

3. Do deposits need to come from a bank account in my name?

Yes — we only accept deposits from bank accounts that match your name on Digital Surge. If you use someone else’s account (like a partner or friend), the deposit won’t be accepted and may be delayed while we return the funds.

4. How will I know when my deposit is successful?

We’ll send you an email as soon as your deposit has been received and credited to your Digital Surge account. You can also check your balance by logging in and heading to your dashboard.
