Fees for transactions

Last updated: September 3, 2026

Using Krak is free, there's no charge to send or receive funds. However, if you don’t already hold the currency you’re sending (e.g. you only have Bitcoin, but you want to send USD), our system will automatically convert your assets to the desired currency and a conversion fee will apply. If you already hold the exact currency you’re sending, there is no fee at all.

Note: there are no fees for opening or maintaining a Krak account; fees are only applied when you utilize services on the platform.

Funding fees make up for the costs associated with us accepting deposits or sending withdrawals.

  • Cryptocurrency deposit fees (mostly free, though there are a few exceptions)

  • Cryptocurrency withdrawal fees (to get your transaction onto the blockchain)

  • Cash deposit fees (as set by our funding providers)

  • Cash withdrawal fees (as set by our funding providers)

  • Debit & credit card purchase fees

Currency availability

Note: the below can change without notice and may not always be current. Please sign in to your Kraken account to see the most current information listed on each deposit page.

*Two versions of USDC are currently being supported on Polygon and Arbitrum: USDC.e and native USDC.

**For first-time MINA deposits, the address setup fee of 1 MINA is deducted from the deposit minimum. If you are depositing MINA to Kraken for the first time please ensure the deposit amount is above 2 MINA.

***Monero deposit limits may apply.

The Address Setup Fee is a one-time fee charged to the first deposit on a newly generated deposit address. ERC-20 tokens use the same single address within your account and thus will only incur the address setup fee once during the initial creation.

† Paxos currently charges a 0.02% fee for all onchain transactions of PAXG. For any deposit to Kraken this comes in addition to the flat fee we charge. Both your transaction to the deposit address and the transaction to sweep the deposit to our hot wallet will be charged the 0.02% fee by Paxos.

Our main service matches orders from clients who want to buy cryptocurrencies with orders from clients who want to sell cryptocurrencies (or vice versa). Trading fees are charged when your order is executed (matched with another client's order). Orders that are cancelled before being executed (also known as "untouched" orders) do not incur any fees. If you are trading using leverage (an optional, advanced feature), additional margin opening and rollover fees will apply.

See our pricing page for additional information.
