The fee you pay when buying or selling crypto on the Luno Exchange depends on your total 30-day trading volume, and whether you’re placing a maker order or a taker order.

Your tier (NG) is calculated once per day by summing up all of your trading activity across all markets on the Luno Exchange platform over the last 30 days (converted to your primary currency). You are then assigned a fee tier based on this total 30-day volume according to the table below.

A taker order is an order that trades at market price. A maker order trades at a limited price.

We have special fees and rebates for USDT/NG and USDC/NG pairs. If you trade these pairs, the stablecoin pair pricing below applies.

When placing an order on the Luno Exchange, each currency pair (or market) has minimum and maximum volumes and prices you can set.

Volume refers to the size of the order you can place, applicable to all order types.

Price refers to the range within which you can specify the price for an order. It does not apply to market orders, which are automatically set at the current market price.

Bundles

The Luno Large Cap bundle is a collection of some of the largest cryptocurrencies. It automatically rebalances once per quarter to reflect market changes. Here are the fees and limits involved:

 

Fees

Fee type

Fee

Bundle buy fee

1%

Bundle sell fee

1%

Bundle rebalancing fee

2% per annum (charged quarterly)

Note

When you sell your bundle, the sell fee is combined with the pro rata rebalancing fee. In other words, you’ll pay 1% of the amount being sold, plus whatever portion of the 2% rebalancing fee has accrued by the time you sell.

Limits

Transaction

Limit per transaction

Buying or topping up your bundle

₦ 2,500 - ₦ 3,600,000

Selling your bundle

₦ 2,500* - ₦ 3,600,000

 

* If you’re selling your whole bundle, there is no minimum (you’re able to sell it even if your bundle balance is less than ₦ 2,500).

Sending and receiving crypto

Luno charges a dynamic fee for crypto sends. The only exceptions to this are:

  • XRP, which has a fixed 0.03% send fee

  • USDT sent on Tron, which has a fixed $0.90 send fee

You’ll always see the exact fee amount before confirming you want to proceed with the transaction.

Dynamic fee explanation

  • Blockchain fees, which are not controlled by Luno, increase and decrease depending on how much demand there is on that blockchain.

  • Your dynamic send fee is calculated based on the up-to-date blockchain fee, plus Luno’s operational costs for processing your transaction.

  • During periods of high demand, when the blockchain fee increases, the fee you pay for sending crypto increases as well. If the fee were too low, your transaction could become delayed – or even stuck indefinitely – while the blockchain’s nodes validate all the other transactions that paid them more.

Luno may limit the amount of cryptocurrency you can send during 24-hour and 30-day rolling periods.

These limits form part of our anti-financial crime measures, and they are in line with best practices in the industry.

Note

Send limits are tailored and dynamic in nature. The table below shows the general bandwidths of limits, which are based on your identity verification level. Your actual send limit may be different.

24-hour limit

30-day limit

Level 1

Maximum of USD 2,400

 

Level 2

Maximum of USD 12,000

 

Level 3

Maximum of USD 120,000

Level 1

Maximum of USD 12,400

 

Level 2

Maximum of USD 60,000

 

Level 3

Maximum of USD 600,000

 

US dollar amounts are converted to the equivalent crypto that you’ve selected.

Tip

Learn more about crypto send limits.

It's free to receive cryptocurrency, with one exception:

  • We charge a nominal fee if you receive “dust” – a tiny amount of crypto, usually much lower than minimum buy or sell amounts

  • This fee combats dusting attacks, where attackers send small amounts to many wallet addresses in an attempt to de-anonymise them
