The fee on one buy by tapping Buy

The fee each charges on a single buy by tapping Buy, from $100 to $100,000, before paying in and before the spread built into the price; the dashed upright line is your buy size. Both lines are dashed: our all-in estimate, spread included, because no fee for tapping Buy is published.

Fees as each exchange publishes them, last refreshed 7 October 2026. To tap Buy: Binance about 0.5% (our estimate), Coinbase about 2% (our estimate). On the trading screen: Binance 0.1%, Coinbase 0.9%. Binance and Coinbase publish no fee for tapping Buy, so the ~ figure is our all-in estimate, spread included, and is never set against the other. Each row says which figure is lower; it doesn't rank the exchanges. BankMate compares buying only.
