Exchange tiers and fees

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.

Exchange trading limits

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.

Tokenised stocks, staking, bundles and prediction markets

Tokenised stocks

Customers verified in Nigeria can buy tokenised stocks or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on Luno. The trade cost you pay allows us to facilitate your trade instantly at a guaranteed price.

Trade cost Limits (per transaction)
2% Minimum: ₦ 50.00
Maximum: Approx. ₦ 15,000,000

*The maximum limit per transaction is subject to change and may vary per asset.

Bundle fees and limits

Bundles are 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).

Tip

Staking fees

Staking enables you to earn back a percentage of your staked crypto for contributing to the continued operation of proof-of-stake blockchains.

Cryptocurrency Staking service fee
DOT 35%
NEAR 35%
SOL 35%
ATOM 40%
AVAX 35%
ADA 20%

More info

The staking service fee is taken as a percentage of the rewards you receive from the blockchain. In other words, each reward payment sent to your Staking Wallet will have already had this fee deducted from it. The Annual Rewards Percentage (ARP) you see before you stake also takes this fee into account – so the ARP is your estimated earnings after the deduction.

Luno does not charge a fee when you stake or unstake your cryptocurrency.

Prediction markets

Buying or selling your position: Limitless fee 

Prediction Markets on Luno are powered by Limitless, a peer-to-peer decentralised exchange operating on the blockchain. When you buy or sell your position, Limitless charges the following adaptive fees as part of their Prediction Markets service on the blockchain:

  • Buy Fees range from just 0.03% to 3% — the higher the probability of event, the lower the fee.
  • Sell Fees start at 0% and gradually rise to 1.5% as the event probability approaches 50%.

Note

Limitless dynamically adapts their fee based on several factors, including the probability of the outcome (higher risk = higher fee). Visit Limitless to learn more about their adaptive fee structure.

Successful prediction payout: Network fee

If you make a prediction successfully, you’ll get a payout sent to your USDC Predictions wallet via the blockchain. This transfer incurs a dynamic network fee that the blockchain protocol calculates based on how busy the network is.

Sending and receiving crypto

Send fees

Luno charges a dynamic fee for crypto sends. The only exception to this is:

  • XRP, which has a fixed 0.03% 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.

Send limits

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.

Maximum send limits

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.
