However, this is also the con. The app felt unfinished. Cons The overlay simplified interface. Too much blank space within the app. Does not compete with Robinhood.

I just hope I never need customer support for anything important. Pros What I like most about Uphold is that it's easy to use and a fast way to move money around from one account to another. Cons Uphold has a terrible customer support system. They only accept messages and it takes days to get a reply. Kenny K.

I use it for transfers in different national currencies with low fees. I mostly use EUR, USD, and GBP. It's fast, there are a lot of different payment methods available and withdrawals are fast and easy as well. I also use Uphold for sending cryptocurrency payments. At the time of writing this review, there are 56 different cryptocurrencies available at Uphold. I've been a happy Uphold user for many years now and has seen this company grown from a start-up to a solid, innovative company. I love how this company makes it easy to send/receive payments in different ways and get into cryptocurrencies with a few clicks. Thanks to innovative solutions like this, we don't have to rely as much on traditional money transfer or payment solutions. Pros Uphold is an easy to use platform that I'm using for sending payments to other Uphold users in different parts of the world and for buying different cryptocurrencies. Member to member payments are free, which I like a lot. I also find it easy to fund my account and make withdrawals, with low to average fees. I've used this platform to pay people from all over the world with ease. The interface is modern and clean. I've used many similar tools, but Uphold is one that I use every day because it's easy and safe. Cons There are different ways to send money and I needed some time to learn everything Uphold offers. In the very beginning, I found the interface a little confusing to get started, but there have been a few updates (big improvements) to the entire user interface over the past year. There's also enough documentation though, so if need more information, there's a great knowledge base you can tap into. Once I played around with Uphold for a while, using it is a breeze. It's fast and safe.

Pros you can easily track crypto coins, add them to your favorites, and what is particularly useful to me is that you can quickly and easily transfer to and from your own account or bank Cons There is nothing that really annoys me, if there is anything I should mention, the transaction costs.

The funding is also not as easy but again, this has changed over the last several years. So I'm going to say it's ok now. Pros This platform is one of the few that allows me to trade XRP and a few other coins that can't trade on other apps. Cons The onboarding process was brutal. I also had trouble funding my first trade. I felt like I jumped through hoops for weeks before I could buy my crypto. However that was years ago so I think they've changed since then. FP Fred P.

Pros it's interface is minimalistic, easy to use, I found out about it while using Brave browser, they seem to be connected. Cons I feel a bit limited in terms of how to setup the account and that it asks for actual cash to "jump Start" it, maybe at the moment I had no extra cash to put or "invest" in it Vincenzo Bernardino R. Freelance Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Good Ideas with poor implementation " 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 April 7, 2025 It's an average crypto exchange, it's cool cause it integrates seamlessly with Brave but besides that nothing special Pros Nothing specific I used it for Brave browser BAT rewards Cons The platform is definitely buggy every time I login it log me out even if I ask to stay logged in and when I login back passwords never work so I have to endlessly reset password. I read online lot of users experience this. Rafael P. Undergraduate Finalist Student Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "A wallet with a lot of potential" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 July 12, 2021 Overall, my experience with Uphold is being great: I'm receiving monthly BAT tokens from Brave Software which then I can hold or withdraw on this very wallet. This wallet also has a lot of markets (cryptocurrencies, utility tokens, stablecoins, national currencies and metals) in which I can invest. Despite the charged fees, the transactions are very fast and secure. I must also mention the "integrations" section in which I can connect third-party apps to my Uphold account, which is very practical and handy. Pros I firstly started using Uphold when I downloaded the Brave Browser. To start earning BATs (Basic Attention Tokens) when surfing the web on this browser, I was asked to create a wallet on Uphold. Since then I earned a lot of BATs, which either I could hold on Uphold or withdraw them to my bank via wire transfer. What I like the most about Uphold is its ease of use and the modern User Interface (UI), which is also very intuitive. I also like the fast withdraw transfers and the security of this very platform. Cons What I like the least about Uphold is the fees charged per every operation. I would like to see lower fees on these transactions, but the speed they are processed of course comes with a price! Other than that I don't have any other negative characteristics to point out about Uphold. I also didn't face any issues or concerns while using this software. Jaime M. anaylist development Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Uphold review" 5.0 July 20, 2020 In general the greatest benefit is being able to enter the stock market, in addition to this you also have to invest in cryptocurrencies or metals Pros With its new alternative to invest in the stock market from Latin America, it is great for us to be able to generate income from the United States stock market. Cons The bad thing may be the commissions that are lost when buying a share in any of the associated markets, the rate seems a bit excessive to me César C. Computer engineer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "The best virtual wallet" 4.0 April 11, 2022 It is the virtual wallet that I use, it has never given me problems with transactions, the deposits arrive quickly. It is a very easy-to-use wallet, so I would recommend it to anyone who wants to start using digital money. Pros I love the reliability of the entire transaction system, it is a very safe and easy-to-use platform. The interface is nice and useful, which makes it very easy to use. It has a large number of currencies to transact with, which is great. Cons In my opinion, I don't think it has any big flaws, although it is true that perhaps, in its mobile version, the app is a little poorly optimized, but they are minimal details.
