Read guideFrequently asked questions
What should I compare before opening an account?
Start with the entity providing the service, your transaction costs, custody and withdrawal conditions. Check whether the specific service accepts customers from your country.
Which fees should I consider?
Check trading fees, possible spreads, and deposit and withdrawal costs. Terms can vary by service, interface and payment method.
Do all platforms offer the same services?
Do not assume a brand offers the same services in every country. Read the contracting entity’s terms for the product you intend to use.
Does regulation remove the risks?
No. Crypto-assets can lose value, and regulation does not remove market or custody risks. Read the terms and avoid committing money you cannot afford to lose.
