You do not need a River account to claim Bitcoin sent with River Link as it can be received to any wallet. However, you may choose to create a River account if you need a Bitcoin wallet or to send to an existing River account.
River Link is shareable via a link (URL) giving you the ability to send it over iMessage, WhatsApp, email, or through a direct message on social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, and Snapchat.

Bitcoin claimed to a River account is sent instantly. When Bitcoin is sent via on-chain, it may take a few hours for the Bitcoin to reach your external wallet based on network activity.
