<p>Request a P2PKH or P2SH address from the receiver wallet software/service. Most will let you choose the address type, but how depends on the specific software or service you're using.</p>

Bitcoin Exchange only sends funds to P2PKH and P2SH addresses, but my address is Bech32. What can I do to get that fund into my account?

How do I convert the address? If that is not an option, what else can I do to get the fund into my Bech32 wallet?
