You can only send FIAT currency between Sling users.

If the person presented in your contact list, does not have a Sling account, you can pay in via Sling Link or invite him by clicking on his name and select the messaging platform available. It is not possible to request funds from Sling users.

A Sling Link is a way to send cash to someone who isn't on Sling yet. Recipients of Sling Links can withdraw the value on the Sling Link to their bank account in any of our supported countries. In the United States, Sling Links can only be claimed to a verified Sling Account. The money can then be withdrawn from a Sling Account as normal.

How do Sling Links work?

Sling Links are bearer instruments. This means that anyone who has a Sling Link can take the money from it. This means that you and the person you send the Sling Link to should be very careful about who you share the link with.

Under the hood Sling Links are self-custody Solana wallets with USDP digital currency on them. The private key for the Sling Link is in the URL, which is why anyone with the Sling Link can access the funds on them. We carefully monitor Sling Links for suspicious behavior and may suspend user's ability to create Sling Links if we detect abuse.
