Does my wiCode expire?

Yes — wiCodes for both deposits and withdrawals expire after 1 hour. If your code expires, you can simply generate a new one.

Can I generate multiple wiCodes at once?

No — you can only have one active wiCode at a time. You'll be able to create a new code after your current code has either been used or has expired.
