No accounts, no waiting. Tell Cambio what you want, send your USDC, and the USDC lands in your wallet in under a minute.
02
Send USDC to the deposit address
Cambio generates a one-time deposit address on Ethereum. Send your USDC there — Ethereum confirms in well under a minute, and the card tracks every confirmation in real time.
03
USDC arrives on BSC
Once your deposit confirms, the payout goes out to your BSC address directly — BNB Smart Chain confirms in seconds. No bridge hop, no wrapped assets, no waiting on a second protocol.

Cambio Best
Cambio delivers the most here — 0.20% more than ChangeHero, and it stated its network fee, so this figure is after that fee rather than before it. It is also the fastest, at about 5 minutes.

Network fee — a stated amount is what the exchange returned, and the figure shown is after it. “included” means the exchange’s own price already contains its network fee, not itemised. “not stated” means its API returned no fee, so that amount is a ceiling rather than a promise.
Every row is what that exchange would pay for this exact size, quoted live from its own API at the time shown and ranked by what lands in your wallet. The bar is each row’s all-in cost against the market rate at that moment, drawn to one scale — ours included.

THIS CORRIDOR, IN NUMBERS
USDC on Ethereum → USDC on BNB Smart Chain
What USDC → USDC actually costs
- You send 100 USDC on Ethereum.
- You receive 99.42 USDC.
- The smallest swap this corridor accepts is 3.3 USDC.
Why this pair behaves the way it does
Ethereum confirms in seconds per block, and 4 confirmations is enough to make a reorganisation impractical without leaving your USDC sitting there.
USDC on BNB Smart Chain is a token, so sending it also needs BNB Smart Chain's own coin for gas. Cambio funds that separately, which is why the USDC side is capped by what the wallet holds rather than by a policy number.
Floor on BNB Smart Chain: 0.35%. Below that the corridor stops covering settlement.
USDC on BNB Smart Chain carries 18 decimals, so every amount on this page is quoted to that precision and no further.
USDC on Ethereum and USDC on BNB Smart Chain
It is the same USDC on either side, but not the same object: what you send lives in Ethereum's ledger, and what you receive is issued separately on BNB Smart Chain.
Worth checking before you send: on Ethereum the token is 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48, and the USDC you receive on BNB Smart Chain is 0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d.
Ethereum needs 4 confirmations before Cambio releases your USDC; that wait, not the BNB Smart Chain payout, is what you spend time on.
People move a dollar token between chains to reach something only one side has: a protocol, an exchange deposit, or a cheaper onward transfer. Cambio does it as a swap — send USDC on Ethereum, receive USDC on BNB Smart Chain, no account.
How long USDC on Ethereum takes to clear
Cambio waits 4 confirmations on Ethereum, then sends the payout immediately. End to end this corridor typically takes ~5 min.

The two coins
What you’re actually swapping.
Two different assets, two different on-chain stories. Here’s the minimum you should know before you send anything.
USDC
Ethereum ERC20
USDC on Ethereum is the canonical, issuer-native USDC. The network confirms in well under a minute, with gas is the price of L1 — it rises when the chain is busy — and this is the issuer-native home of USDC.

- Average block time~12-second blocks
USDC
BNB Smart Chain BEP20
USDC on BNB Smart Chain is regulated-issuer dollars from Circle. The network confirms in seconds, with consistently low network fees — and you get Circle-issued USDC with BSC's low fees.

Questions
USDC to USDC on BNB Smart Chain — frequently asked.
Is this a bridge swap?
No. Your USDC goes to a Cambio deposit address on Ethereum as an ordinary transfer, and you receive USDC on BSC as an ordinary BSC transaction. No bridge contract, no wrapped assets, no cross-chain messages.
Do I get the same USDC back?
You receive USDC issued on BSC (BEP20) — the same asset, on the network you asked for. Wallets and exchanges treat it as ordinary USDC on that network.
How long does the swap take?
The deposit side on Ethereum confirms in well under a minute; the payout on BNB Smart Chain confirms in seconds. The status card tracks every stage live — detection, confirmation, payout — so you are never guessing which side you are waiting on.
Do I need to verify my identity?
No account or sign-up is needed. Every swap is screened against sanctions and on-chain risk lists before a deposit address is issued; in line with applicable law and our risk-based AML policy, identity verification may be requested where screening flags elevated risk.
What is the maximum I can swap?
There is no fixed per-swap cap. The most you can send on this pair is shown in the table above and recalculated on every quote, so it always reflects what we can settle right now.
Can I receive the USDC into an exchange account?
Yes — on the exchange’s deposit screen pick USDC and make sure the network is BNB Smart Chain (BEP20), then paste that deposit address into the Cambio composer as your destination. If the network on the exchange side doesn’t match, don’t send — ask the AI and it will walk you through it.
