TL;DR Contact your crypto exchange. They will be able to resolve this for you.

General information

In order to send XRP into an exchange account, you need to know two pieces of information:

1. the correct exchange r-address to send the funds to

2. the destination tag for your exchange account

Both of these are provided by your crypto exchange.

Destination tags

Why a deposit might not arrive

The main reasons why funds do not arrive are:

• There was no destination tag entered in the transaction

• There was an incorrect destination tag entered in the transaction

You can check this in Xumm under the Events section.

When you review the transaction, make sure the destination tag was entered correctly.

If both the destination r-address and destination tag are both correct and the funds still have not arrived in your exchange account, it is most likely related to one of the following situations:

• your exchange has not processed that transaction on their side

• possible technical issues or a processing backlog at the exchange

• the exchange are withholding your funds.

What you can do to retrieve your funds

They only way to recover your funds is to contact your crypto exchange.

They will have process for you to follow and should provide you with the step by step instructions.
