# How can I add balance to my Blink account?

There are several ways to add funds to your Blink account:

1. Earn or receive bitcoin: sell some goods or get paid in bitcoin to your Blink wallet.
2. Send bitcoin from an exchange or other wallet using the Lightning Network.
3. Send bitcoin from an exchange or other wallet on-chain to the provided Bitcoin wallet address.
4. Acquire bitcoin through a third-party service — for example peer-to-peer platforms or Bitcoin ATMs (see [Coin ATM Radar](https://coinatmradar.com/)) — and send it to your Blink wallet. Fees and availability are set by those providers.

Please note that fees may apply depending on the method you choose to add funds to your Blink account.

Note: in jurisdictions where custodial services are winding down, receiving funds to a custodial account is disabled from the cutoff date stated in your in-app notice. For the full explanation, options, and timeline, see the announcement: Important Changes to Custodial Accounts in Your Region — the dates in your personal in-app notice take precedence. Receiving in Non-Custodial Mode is unaffected.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://faq.blink.sv/using-blink/how-can-i-add-balance-to-my-blink-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
