OKX deposits with memo or tag: a checklist before you hit send
Some assets on OKX need a memo or tag as well as an address. Missing it can delay credit. Here is an Australian-friendly checklist using only official screens.

Address and network mistakes get most of the attention, yet memo or tag errors cause plenty of support tickets too. Certain assets require an extra identifier so OKX can credit the right account. If you copy only the address from a screenshot and ignore the second field, the chain transfer may succeed while the credit does not. This checklist slows you down for one minute so the deposit lands cleanly. Taking the extra minute is cheaper than waiting on a manual review later.
Generate the deposit details inside OKX after choosing the asset
Open deposit, select the asset, select the network, then copy both the address and the memo or tag exactly as shown. Do not reuse an old memo from a previous deposit without checking the current screen. If the interface says a memo is required, treat it as required even if another wallet labels the field optional. If two fields appear, both matter equally for credit.
Match network names carefully at the source wallet
Confirm the sending wallet uses the same network OKX displayed. Similar marketing names can hide different chains. Paste address and memo into separate fields at the source without adding spaces. If your wallet warns that a memo is missing, stop and re-read the OKX deposit screen before overriding the warning. When names disagree, pause and check OKX help for that asset.
Send a small test amount first
A small test confirms that address, network, and memo all work together. Wait until OKX history shows the credit before sending the remainder. Keep the transaction hash from the source wallet so you can open a precise support ticket if credit is late. Avoid public explorers that ask you to connect a wallet just to “speed up” a deposit.
If credit is delayed, escalate with facts only
Collect asset name, network, address, memo, amount, time, and hash. Contact OKX support from inside the app or the official site. Never share authenticator codes or seed phrases with anyone offering recovery help on social media. After resolution, save a private note of which assets need memos so the next deposit is faster. Building that private cheat sheet once will save you from repeating the same stressful ticket the next time you move the same asset.
