MEXC OTP Payment Stuck or Pending — Troubleshooting
Fix MEXC OTP payment stuck or pending issues. Use TRC20 USDT and temporary SMS numbers for quick recovery. Buy verified numbers starting at 5 USDT now.
Why MEXC OTP Payments Get Stuck
MEXC requires OTP verification for USDT deposits, but sometimes payments show as "Pending" or "Stuck" for hours. Common causes include network congestion, incorrect memo tags, or using unsupported blockchains. For example, sending ERC20 USDT to a TRC20 address will fail permanently.
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide
### 1. Check Your Transaction Hash
Copy the TXID from your wallet and paste it into a blockchain explorer (e.g., Tronscan for TRC20, Etherscan for ERC20). If the transaction is confirmed but MEXC hasn't credited it, the issue is on their end. Wait 30 minutes; if still stuck, contact support with the TXID.
### 2. Verify You Used the Correct Network
MEXC supports TRC20 and ERC20 for USDT. Always double-check the deposit address and network. Sending USDT via BEP20 to a TRC20 address will result in lost funds. In 2026, MEXC also added support for Polygon USDT, but only for specific pairs.
### 3. Clear Your Wallet Cache
Sometimes your wallet app may show a pending transaction that is actually confirmed. Force-close the app, clear cache, and re-check the explorer. For example, Trust Wallet users often report stuck payments that resolve after restarting the app.
### 4. Use a Temporary SMS Number for OTP
If you lost access to your phone number or didn't receive the OTP, buy a verified temporary SMS number from our marketplace. We provide real, working numbers for Telegram, WhatsApp, and exchanges like MEXC. Prices start at 5 USDT (TRC20) for a 24-hour number. This bypasses KYC and helps you recover your account fast.
### 5. Contact MEXC Support with Proof
Prepare a screenshot of the pending transaction and your TXID. Open a ticket via the app or website. Mention you used TRC20 USDT (if you did) to speed up the process. Response times are typically 2-4 hours in 2026.
Preventing Future Stuck Payments
- Always use TRC20 for fast and cheap USDT transfers (fee ~0.8 USDT in 2026).
- Keep a backup SMS number for OTP recovery.
- Avoid depositing during high-traffic periods like exchange listings.
