When you sell bitcoin on Aureo, you pay a Lightning invoice and receive pesos via SPEI to the bank account of your choice.

Before you start:

  • Your identity verification (Tier 1) must be approved or pending.

  • You need a Lightning-compatible wallet to pay the invoice (e.g., Phoenix, Muun, Wallet of Satoshi, ZBD, Blink, or Sati).

Steps:

  1. Go to Sell Bitcoin.

  2. If you have not yet set up a bank account, you will be prompted to enter your banking details (see "How to set up your bank account for payouts" below).

  3. Enter the amount in Mexican pesos you wish to receive.

    • Minimum: $100 MXN

    • Maximum: $100,000 MXN per transaction

  4. Review the exchange rate and fee, then select Create Swap.

  5. Aureo will generate a Lightning invoice. Pay it using one of these methods:

    • Scan the QR code with your Lightning wallet

    • Copy the invoice and paste it into your wallet

    • WebLN: If your browser has a WebLN-compatible wallet, payment can happen automatically

    • Bitcoin Connect: If you have connected a wallet via Bitcoin Connect on your Account page, it will be used automatically

  6. The invoice is valid for 5 minutes. If it expires, you can generate a new one by selecting Refresh.

  7. Once your Lightning payment is confirmed, Aureo converts the bitcoin and sends pesos to your bank account via SPEI.

  8. You will see a confirmation screen and can download a PDF transfer receipt.
