How do I apply to recover a deposit if the memo/tag is not filled or wrong?
Memo is an additional address feature needed for identifying the transaction recipient of a wallet address. For some tokens such as LUNC, EOS, and XLM, the deposit address for all KuCoin users is the same. As such, the Memo is required to identify which account should the transaction be credited to.
If you forgot or fill in the wrong Memo when making a deposit to KuCoin, the funds will not arrive in your account. In this case, you can try to retrieve it via self-service token recovery.
