Uphold receives 3 Highly Commended awards in Finder's 2023 Crypto Trading Platform Awards

Uphold offers more than just competitive fees – it backs them up with a world-class platform that is a delight to use.

Finding a good value exchange is about much more than just low fees.

It's just as much about quality. You want to know that the money you’re paying is going towards something.

For some, that might be a platform with good user experience (UX) that's easy to navigate, or fast settlement times and deep liquidity. For others, it's a wide range of coins and payment methods to ensure they can buy what they want, when they want to.

For these reasons and more, Uphold takes home not 1 but 2 Highly Commended awards for Value in Finder's Crypto Trading Platform Awards – both in the US and the UK. 

This is a testament to the quality of Uphold's service given the extreme competition in both of these markets.

Uphold's interface is sleek and visually appealing while the UX and layout is cleverly designed so that the majority of features are immediately laid out in front of you – you don't need to click through dozens of sub-menus.

Our research showed that the mobile app has an average app store ranking of 4.6 out of 5 from more than 50,000 reviews.

This is to say that Uphold isn't just competitively priced, but that it offers real value for money with a world-class product.

Uphold allows users to purchase more than 250 cryptocurrencies instantly using bank transfer, debit card or credit card.

That is one of the largest range of coins available from a registered platform in both the US and the UK and no doubt helped Uphold secure another Highly Commended award for Instant Purchases.

The Finder Crypto Trading Platform Awards are designed to spotlight exchanges and brokers that excel across 7 categories. The awards use a data-driven approach to ensure that platforms are judged fairly and equally to produce the most helpful results for our users.
