# Transferring Money

Transferring money on the blockchain can be a bit daunting; you have to get the right wallet address which is a long string of characters (0x2fbfd5A8B2C31DDB921211933bfb1842FF39B5eA) and if you made a mistake and send your money to the wrong address, you basically have no way of getting your money refunded back to you.

Profiles provide a much better and safer alternative for two reasons:

* you can find your recipient's profile by searching the profiles page for your recipient's username which is unique for each user
* money sent to profiles can be refunded by the profile owner if it was sent mistakenly otherwise the profile's bounty can be claimed by the sender. Profile owners cannot withdraw money sent to their profiles unless they have a bounty large enough attached to their profiles.

## Searching For A Profile

* Go to the profile's page by clicking on the **Make a Profile** button in the drop down at the top right of your the [PaySwap site](https://app.gitbook.com/o/9qiNbn3JK7lY8ZFgUiDk/s/-MgbtC1OtK6WPXJAWRcR/)

* On the profile's page, click on the **Profiles** tab and enter your recipient's username in the search box. This should list your recipient's profile.

## Withdrawing Tokens From Your Profile

Tokens sent to your profile can be viewed from the bottom left section of your profile's panel like in the image below where we can view USDs have been sent to our profile

Select a token to view how much of it you have on your profile's balance; in the image below, our profile holds 11 USD

<figure><img src="https://3481829468-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbuuWgsRQF3QPmDvV7XJQ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-656337ecb29d1f96ba08e5b79e714eea6442915e%2Fprofile17.png?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To withdraw this, you would have to attach a bounty with a minimum balance of 11 USD to your profile. After you've attached your bounty, you can click on the **Control Panel** button and then on the **Claim Revenue** button
