Frequently asked questions
Is Coinbase safe?
No material incident is on our record for Coinbase — an absence of documentation, not a guarantee.
Is Coinbase regulated?
Only registrations (FCA). That is an anti-money-laundering formality — the regulator does not vet the product and your balance is not protected.
What does Coinbase charge?
0.6% on the headline figure. Deposit, withdrawal and spread costs sit on top — check the linked schedule.
Can I withdraw crypto from Coinbase?
Yes — it is an exchange, so the asset is yours and can move to a wallet you control.

Crypto is volatile and largely unregulated. CFDs are leveraged and most retail accounts lose money. Never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
