Pay Interest From Your Exchange Without Leaving Lantern

You can now transfer crypto and make payments for your Lantern loans directly from your existing exchange and wallets, all without leaving our platform.

How to Pay Interest (USDC) Through Your Exchange in 4 Simple Steps

Step 1: Navigate to Make Payment

Log in to your Lantern dashboard and click the "Make Payment" button on your active loan.

Step 2: Choose Payment Method

When the payment modal opens, you'll see two tabs at the top: Bank and USDC. Select the USDC tab to pay with crypto.

Under "Payment Type," choose whether you want to:

• Pay interest

• Make a partial principal payment

• Pay off your entire loan

Then click "Pay with Mesh" to continue.

Step 3: Select Your Exchange

A secure Mesh window will appear asking you to choose your account. Select your preferred exchange from the list (Coinbase, Kraken, or Robinhood).

You'll be prompted to sign into your exchange account to authorize the connection.

Please use your exchange’s username and password to authorize.

After logging in, you need to authorize Mesh. You might need to enter 2FA to verify the authorization.

Step 4: Review and Confirm

After connecting your exchange, review:

• The payment amount

• The network you're using (Ethereum or Solana for USDC)

• Any applicable fees

Click "Pay with Coinbase" (or your selected exchange) to complete the transaction.

You'll see a success confirmation once your payment has been initiated. The transaction will be credited to your Lantern account once confirmed onchain (typically within minutes).
