Getting Funds Into Your PolyGram Account from the UK
Polymarket enforces geographic restrictions affecting UK-based participants, yet PolyGram offers unrestricted entry to the identical CLOB order book alongside bespoke UK funding pathways. All market contracts are denominated and settled using USDC across the Polygon blockchain.
Funding Options for UK-Based PolyGram Traders
Bank Transfer (Faster Payments / Open Banking)
British account holders can top up their PolyGram wallet through Faster Payments via PolyGram's fiat gateway partner. Your sterling converts instantly to USDC and normally posts within 5 minutes. The entry threshold stands at £10. PolyGram itself levies no charge; the gateway operator applies a 1–1.5% conversion spread.
Debit & Credit Card
Both Visa and Mastercard debit cards work seamlessly. Credit card transactions may face rejection from your issuer if flagged as a cash-like transaction — a debit card is the safer choice. The on-ramp charges roughly 1.8% per transaction.
Klarna
Klarna's Buy Now, Pay Later service is available for qualifying UK members. You can execute trades immediately and repay over a 30-day window interest-free. You'll need an active, compliant Klarna account to use this option.
Crypto (USDC, ETH, BTC)
Transfer USDC directly to your PolyGram address on Polygon from any major custodian (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance). Alternatively, deposit ETH or BTC — PolyGram's conversion layer handles the swap to USDC automatically. This route suits high-frequency traders best. Polygon confirmations happen in under 60 seconds.
Fee Breakdown by Method
- Bank transfer: ~1–1.5% on-ramp fee
- Debit card: ~1.8% on-ramp fee
- Klarna: 0% (interest-free 30-day)

Deposit Limits and Verification
The floor for any deposit is $10 equivalent. PolyGram imposes no upper ceiling on deposit size. Know Your Customer checks become mandatory once your cumulative deposits cross $1,500. Identity verification completes in 2–5 minutes.
