Crypto.com Pay takes PYUSD only from the Crypto.com App balance, with no on-chain route and no external wallet. The payment request expires after 10 minutes by default, and a sent payment cannot be reversed. Refunds cannot come back as PYUSD, because Crypto.com Pay refunds only in CRO, BTC, ETH, USDC and TUSD. Laters.com adds no surcharge.
What works well

- Pays from the Crypto.com App balance, no external wallet needed
- The same App also pays in USDC, USDT, BTC and ETH
- App refunds credit automatically to your chosen refund currency
What to watch
- A sent payment cannot be reversed
- Payment request expires after a 10-minute default
- Refunds cannot be paid in PYUSD
- Needs PYUSD already in your Crypto.com App
Coin Choice9/10
The Crypto.com App balance pays in PYUSD, USDC, USDT, BTC and ETH, and USDC also runs on six networks. It is not a 10 because PYUSD itself has no on-chain network, so only the App route works for it.
Fees8/10
Laters.com adds no surcharge, and Crypto.com Pay says it charges customers no transaction fee. No network fee figure is supplied for PYUSD, so what the wallet and network add is unknown. That gap keeps it from a 9.
Payment Speed7/10
The payment request expires after 10 minutes by default, a processor-wide figure rather than a PYUSD one. No confirmation time is supplied, and paying late or short leaves the payment unresolved. A 7 here means adequate, with a real caveat.
Refunds7/10
PYUSD is not a supported refund currency. Crypto.com Pay refunds in CRO, BTC, ETH, USDC or TUSD, at the merchant's discretion, and no timeline is supplied. A 7 here means adequate, with a real caveat.
The editorial take
- Strongest on
- Coin choice. The same Crypto.com App also pays in USDC, USDT, BTC and ETH, so a traveller is not tied to PYUSD alone.
- Held back by
- Refunds. PYUSD is not a supported refund currency, so a refund cannot come back as PYUSD, and the 10-minute default window leaves little slack.
- Best for
- PYUSD for travellers who already hold it in the Crypto.com App.
What else can cost you
- Laters.com surcharge
- None. We add no booking fee or surcharge for paying with pyusd.
- Network fee
- No PYUSD network fee figure is confirmed. Crypto.com Pay states it charges customers no transaction fee, so check the amount shown at checkout.
- Late or short payment
- A request expires after 10 minutes by default. Paying late or short leaves the payment unresolved, and the exact amount must arrive in time.
- How a refund returns
- PYUSD is not a supported refund currency. Refunds credit the coin chosen in the App's refund setting, minus any network fee that applies.
