Pro Trading (Exchange):
VALR has a tiered fee structure. Clients are assigned to a tier based on their 30-day rolling volume on spot and futures pairs. Clients can qualify for a specific tier through spot or futures volume; the same most favourable tier applies to both categories. Tiers are assessed on an aggregate account level, and the same fees will apply across all sub-accounts. All trade volume is converted to a USDT equivalent value to assign tiers.
Should your 30-day volume increase/decrease to the extent that a different tier applies, we will adjust your tier and applicable fees on the next Monday at 10 am UTC.
The following categories of fees apply:
- Fiat pairs: all pairs with at least one fiat currency, e.g. BTCZAR, USDTZAR
- Spot crypto to crypto: all pairs where both currencies are crypto, e.g. BTCUSDT, ETHUSDC
- Stable to stable: all pairs where both currencies are crypto stablecoins, e.g. USDTUSDC, EURCUSDC.
- Perpetual futures pairs: all PERP pairs
Note that stable-to-stable and OTC volumes do not count towards your spot volume for fee tier categorisation.

* Cryptocurrency withdrawals: Network dependent** (we always quote you a fee before you confirm your withdrawal. This fee can be more than we pay the network, and we use the difference to manage our series of cold, warm and hot wallet infrastructure.) To view the current withdrawal charge, click to send the relevant cryptocurrency, and you'll be provided with a fee quote.
** This depends on two factors: (1) the cryptocurrency being withdrawn and (2) the activity level on the relevant blockchain.
VALR reserves the right to change or update any fees at any time at VALR’s sole discretion and without prior notice. Account Holders should regularly review this information and stay informed of any changes.
