Security Note: Always ensure you're visiting the official Uphold® website (http://uphold.com) when accessing your account to avoid phishing attempts.
Accessing your Uphold® account is designed to be both secure and convenient, with multiple authentication options available.
For enhanced security, Uphold® recommends using biometric authentication (fingerprint or facial recognition) on mobile devices and maintaining up-to-date recovery options.
Uphold® doesn't charge account maintenance fees. The platform makes money through transparent spreads on transactions. Some services like bank transfers may have minimal network fees, but these are clearly displayed before confirming any transaction.

Uphold® is available in over 180 countries, though specific services may vary by region due to local regulations. You can check availability for your country on the Uphold® website.
Uphold® employs multiple security layers including two-factor authentication, biometric login options, encryption protocols, and cold storage for digital assets. The platform is also regulated in the US and complies with international financial regulations.
Basic account features are available after email verification, but to access full functionality including higher transaction limits and fcurrency services, you'll need to complete the KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process by providing identification documents.
