What are the fees when buying Bitcoin?

Before investing in cryptocurrencies it's important to understand the fees that are involved. When you buy crypto on an exchange you will typically need to cover two fees. The deposit fee is for transferring funds to the exchange account and the trading fee is what you pay for the exchange to sell you crypto.

On CoinSpot, they offer free and instant deposits for Heritage Bank members and when buying Bitcoin via the Market Buy feature, the fee is a competitively low and almost non-existent 0.1%. Most exchanges will charge 0.5% - 1% for the deposit fee and the trading fee industry average is 0.7%.
