Uphold — £50–£1,000 Crypto Transfer Cashback

Overview

Uphold is a UK-regulated crypto exchange running a tiered cashback promotion for new customers who move crypto onto the platform from another exchange. Transfer £100+ worth of crypto, hold it on Uphold for 90 days, and earn between £50 and £1,000 in cashback depending on the transfer size.

How to Claim

1. Open a new Uphold account via the 'Get This Offer' button and complete identity verification (KYC)
2. Open or use an exchange account in your own name (Coinbase, Kraken, Bitstamp, Crypto.com etc.) — same name as your Uphold account
3. Fund that exchange with GBP, buy USDC (a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar — no price volatility), then wait out any holding period (typically 3–7 days)
4. Withdraw the USDC from your exchange to your Uphold deposit address — same person on both sides
5. Leave the full amount on Uphold for 90 days — don't sell, swap or withdraw any of it
6. Cashback is credited to your Uphold account within 30 days after the hold ends (~120 days total) — withdraw to your bank when ready

Requirements

• Must be a UK resident, 18+
• Must be a new Uphold customer — anyone with an existing account (including dormant accounts) is excluded
• The crypto must come from an exchange account in your own name — you must own the cryptoassets at the source exchange
• Transfer must complete by 17 May 2026 (offer end date)
• Full transferred amount must remain on Uphold for the entire 90-day hold

Cashback Tiers

Crypto transferred (GBP value)	Cashback
£100 – £1,000	£50
£1,001 – £5,000	£150
£5,001 – £25,000	£350
£25,001 – £100,000	£600
£100,000+	£1,000

Tips

• USDC is the safest asset to transfer — it tracks the US dollar so its value won't drop during the 90-day hold
• Use Polygon or Solana as the network when withdrawing USDC to Uphold — Ethereum mainnet fees are £10–£30+, while Polygon/Solana are pennies
• Avoid Binance UK as the source exchange — it's in regulatory limbo. Coinbase, Kraken, Crypto.com and Bitstamp all work cleanly for UK users
• Triple-check the deposit address and network before sending — wrong address or wrong network = lost crypto with no recourse
• The £50 tier (£100–£1,000) is the best effective return — minimal capital tied up for the same minimum cashback
• Closes in days — if you're going to do this, do it now

Important Terms

• Offer runs 13 February 2026 to 17 May 2026 — your transfer must complete inside this window
• Existing Uphold users (registered before the qualifying transfer) are not eligible
• Third-party transfers won't qualify — UK exchanges share sender name and address with the receiving exchange under the Travel Rule. If the source-account name doesn't match your Uphold account name, Uphold may reject the deposit or disqualify it from the promotion
• Buying crypto inside Uphold or depositing GBP/EUR does not qualify — only crypto transferred from another exchange counts
• Withdrawing or moving any of the transferred amount during the 90-day hold forfeits the cashback
• Cashback is paid in GBP into your Uphold account
• Network fees on the originating exchange (e.g. ETH gas, BTC transfer fees) are paid by you
• Standard KYC/AML checks apply; Uphold is FCA-registered as a cryptoasset firm
