  • These Unique Account Number (“UAN”) Terms of Use (these “Terms of Use”), which are incorporated in full into your User Agreement for Residents of Europe and the UK (your “User Agreement”), govern your use of the UAN created on our Platform in the territories where we offer UANs. All capitalized terms not defined in these Terms of Use shall have the meaning set forth in your User Agreement.

    UPHOLD IS NOT A DEPOSITORY FINANCIAL INSTITUTION OR A BANK. THE FUNDS RECEIVED USING YOUR UAN ARE NOT HELD WITH UPHOLD. THEY ARE HELD IN A SEGREGATED ACCOUNT WITH A REGULATED FINANCIAL INSTITUTION IN THE NAME OF UPHOLD AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR CUSTOMERS THAT USE UANs. THIS ACCOUNT IS USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF HOLDING AND PROCESSING CUSTOMER FUNDS, WHICH ARE CREDITED OR DEBITED TO YOUR UPHOLD ACCOUNT AS APPROPRIATE.

    By creating and using a UAN, you agree to follow and be bound by these Terms of Use and your User Agreement and the associated General Terms and Conditions, including any policies referenced herein and therein. You also agree that you have read and agreed to the Unique Account Numbers FAQs.

Uphold Europe Limited, Reg No. 09281410, Registered Office: Eastcastle House, 27/28 Eastcastle Street, London, United Kingdom, W1W 8DH

© Uphold 2024. All Rights Reserved.

Uphold (FRN: 938277) is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for AML purposes and complies with the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer for Funds (Information on the Payer).

Uphold is also an EMD agent (FRN: 900577) of Optimus Cards UK Limited (FRN: 902034) which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority to issue e-money pursuant to the Electronic Money Regulations 2011.

The purchase, sale and custody of cryptoassets are regulated by the FCA for anti-money laundering purposes but this does not indicate any approval by the FCA of Uphold’s cryptoasset activities. Cryptoassets are very high risk and speculative.  When purchasing, selling and/or holding cryptoassets, you will not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) if something goes wrong. You should be aware and prepared to potentially lose some or all of your money. You should carefully consider whether trading or holding cryptoassets is suitable for you in light of your financial circumstances.

Fiat money payments and balances (fiat is another name for traditional currencies, such as GBP, USD and EUR) constitute regulated e-money and payment services. In providing fiat balances, you are being issued with e-money by Optimus and Uphold is acting as its agent. See specific e-money terms. E-money is not a deposit or investment account which means that your e-money will not be protected by the FSCS. Your funds will be held in a designated safeguarding account with a regulated financial institution. E-money will not earn any interest.

Additional risk warnings are contained in Uphold’s Terms & Conditions
