Trading fees
We charge zero-commissions for buying and selling currencies and other assets.

We’ve chosen this model because it’s easy to understand and all-inclusive.

The price you see before you trade, is the price you pay when you trade.

Unlike some platforms, our prices are locked in pre-trade.

This means we don’t add an undisclosed spread during the transaction reducing the amount you receive.

Commission-free does not mean that Uphold is free: we charge for certain activities and add a small spread into the price of the asset being bought at Preview stage: for crypto it’s typically 50-100bps (0.5-1.0%) but can be as low as 40bps depending on your trading volume.

We are significantly cheaper than our competitors in the crypto retail space and encourage you to compare our pricing.

Withdrawals:
You can withdraw your funds at any time to banks in almost 40 countries, or to private wallets on seven crypto networks.

We do not charge withdrawal fees unless you are using the SWIFT network in Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Croatia and Romania.

In these countries there is a 20 US Dollar or equivalent fee per withdrawal. We do charge standard network fees for withdrawals to crypto networks because we bear a cost.

It is free to open an account and hold value with Uphold. Uphold accounts are free to members who maintain active accounts.Fund your account

FREE when funded by a bank account, using bitcoin, or from another Uphold account. If using a Debit/Credit Card or China Union Pay to fund your account, a fee of 3.99% applies.

Send and receive money FREE between Uphold members.

All member-to-member transfers are completely FREE of all fees, costs or limitations regardless of the amounts transferred, currency or frequency.

Convert and buy
We charge an exchange fee when a member buy/converts between different currencies. This is based upon a percentage of the transaction value (see the full list of fees below).

You may also notice a slight difference between the buy and sell price quote for the same currency pair at Uphold. This is because we include in the quote a Price Protection Fee.

This small difference (usually less than 0.75% above or below the market rate) allows us to give you an instant and guaranteed quote no matter the market conditions or other factors that may affect our ability to settle your trade.
