* Deposits from bank accounts only available in the UK, Europe & US. The price for UK and Europe bank transfers is not locked in pre-trade. The price of the relevant Cryptoasset may change between the time you submit the order and the time the order is executed. You should be aware that execution is on a best-efforts basis and could result in significant price fluctuations as the Cryptoasset purchase order will be executed at the prevailing market price at the time of execution. As Cryptoassets experience frequent price volatility this poses you a high degree of risk.
** Not available in certain jurisdictions.
You should be aware that the risk of loss in trading or holding cryptoassets can be very high. As with any asset, the value of cryptoassets can go up or down and there can be a substantial risk that you lose all your money buying, selling, holding or investing in cryptoassets. Our cryptoasset services are not within the scope of the UK Financial Ombudsman Service and your cryptoassets are not subject to protection under the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme. You should carefully consider whether trading or holding cryptoassets is suitable for you in light of your financial condition.
Please note: this is our consumer and business account fee schedule; different fees apply to a business account using our API services. See API Transaction fees
Uphold is not a free platform. We charge UK customers a spread for buying and selling crypto and national currencies.
In the U.S., U.K., and Europe, our spread is typically 0.9 to 1.2% on BTC and ETH.
Our spread is typically 0.2% between major national currencies such as EUR, USD, and GBP.
Our pricing model is all-inclusive. The price you see before your trade is the price you pay when you trade. Unlike many platforms, our prices are locked in pre-trade* and we don’t add hidden fees between Preview and Transact.
Please check the rate you’re getting on the Preview page. Only confirm your transaction if you’re happy with the rate and accept the trade.

We charge an exchange fee when a customer 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.
