Uphold Fees

We have fees associated with trading, depositing, and withdrawing. Our fees depend on factors such as where you reside and the payment method you select.

Uphold’s fees take into account the cost of regional payment processing charges, regulatory checks, and network fees.

Uphold Spreads

Uphold charges a spread every time you trade.

Our pricing model is all-inclusive. The price you see before you trade is the price you pay when you trade. Unlike other platforms, our prices are locked in pre-trade*. Unlike some competitors, 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.

Like most trading venues, we display the current mid-market price on our charts; when you trade, you receive the current bid or ask price depending on whether you’re buying or selling.

There is always a slight difference between the mid-market and the actual bid/ask prices: it's how order books on virtually all exchanges work.

• Spreads can be significantly wider for certain low-liquidity assets. Check rates at Preview before you trade.
• Coordinated market activity can distort markets. All the above spreads are likely to widen beyond those above during times of acute market stress.
• When spreads are unusually wide, we endeavor to inform you at the point of trade.
