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 30-day volume 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.

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.

Sending and receiving crypto

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.

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, but your actual send limit may be different.

24-hour limit

30-day limit

Maximum of USD 12,000

Maximum of USD 60,000


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

Tip

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
