# Add a Contact

A **contact** is a saved recipient you pay from your workspace - a vendor, a supplier, or anyone you send money to. Saving a contact stores their name and payment details (a bank account, a crypto wallet, or both) so you don't have to re-enter them every time you send a payment.

Contacts are shared across your whole workspace: once you add one, other members can pay them too.

### Before you start

* Any workspace member can add a contact. Editing or deleting a contact is limited to admins.
* Have the recipient's payment details ready - their bank account details (SEPA or ACH/wire) or their crypto wallet address.

### Steps

1. Go to the **Contacts** page in your workspace.
2. Click **Add contact**.
3. On the first step, enter the contact's **Full name**. You can also add an optional **Nickname** and a **Photo**. Click **Next**.
4. Choose a payment method under **Select method**:

   * **SEPA bank account** - European bank details (IBAN and BIC).
   * **ACH/wire bank account** - US bank details.
   * **Crypto wallet** - a wallet address.

   Fill in the details for the method you picked. Click **Next**.
5. (Optional) To save a second payment method for the same contact, click **Add another method** and fill in its details.
6. On the final step, add any optional details such as **email**, **phone**, and **address**, then click **Add contact**. (If you saved a bank account, an address is required.)

### What to expect

The contact appears on your **Contacts** page and is available to everyone in the workspace. The next time you send a payment, you can pick this contact and one of their saved payment methods instead of typing the details again - see [Send Money](/guides/transactions-and-payments/send-money.md).

You can also add a new contact on the fly while sending a payment, without leaving the send flow.

### Troubleshooting

* **I can't finish adding the contact** → A contact needs at least one payment method. Make sure you've completed the payment-method step. If you added a bank account, you'll also need to fill in an address on the final step.
* **My bank details are rejected** → Double-check the IBAN (for SEPA) or the account and routing numbers (for ACH/wire). The form checks these for the correct format.
* **I can't edit or remove a contact** → Adding contacts is open to all members, but changing or deleting them is limited to admins. Ask an admin if you need a contact updated.
