Is Uphold a free service?

Uphold is free to join and the majority of Uphold's services, particularly for verified members, are absolutely free. Sending and receiving financial value between any Uphold member, and holding financial value on our platform is 100% free.

Conversion fees

Unlike the majority of currency conversion and money transfer services, Uphold uses the real mid-market exchange rate for all conversions. We simply apply the mid-market rate, which is the midpoint between the buy and sell rates on the global currency market. This rate is market dependent, fluctuating constantly, and we have no control or influence over it – it is completely independent of Uphold and fully accessible and verifiable on global sites.  We rely upon the mid-market rate but cannot verify that such rate reflects fair market value.
