Clear steps, security pointers, and an operational checklist so you can log in and trade anytime, securely.
This guide explains how to access your Uphold account quickly and securely, the main features that make trading "anytime" possible, and helpful troubleshooting plus compliance and fee pointers to keep in mind before you trade.
Uphold supports rapid conversion among fiat, crypto and other asset types in a single step — useful when markets move fast.
You can use Uphold’s web platform or mobile app to manage positions and move funds, making it practical to act on opportunities from anywhere.
Provide your email/username and password. If you use a password manager, let it fill credentials so you avoid typos.
Uphold supports two-factor authentication — use an authenticator app (TOTP) or SMS where available. Authenticator apps are more secure.
If you frequently trade, keep a secure device dedicated to trading (or lock your main device with strong biometrics + passcode).
Never reveal your private keys, 2FA codes, or full password to anyone. Uphold will not ask for your password over email or chat.
Fees vary by asset, payment method and region. Check the fees page before initiating deposits, withdrawals, or small trades to avoid surprises.
Contact official support immediately and do not respond to unsolicited requests for credentials while recovery is in progress.
If you automate trading or integrate banking flows, use the official API and sandbox/testing environment to build safely before production.
Never use mainnet funds for testing — sandbox/testnet is made for experimentation and reduces risk.
Use limit orders where available to avoid slippage in high volatility; be aware that instant one-step trades can incur spreads.
Always verify the domain and look for the secure padlock before entering credentials.
