I try to check what you were talking about, but I found out the link works fine.
Speaking of fees there are sometimes some small things that turn out to be a big turn-off when checking a service
When you see big service doing amateurish mistakes like this is at least in my case a big minus point from the start
That being said I don't find the fees that big compared to other services like this, the spread is not that bad either with around 1% compared to the exchange rate this moment as I'm checking the price, but the one that would ever prevent me from using is the 4% fee on loading your account via a credit card and the 0.003 withdraw fee so if I'm going to use a bank to purchase something or deal with bigger sums I would stick with the traditional exchanges, for small sums, it's at ATMS levels but with KYC.
I agree with the above points.
I never try Kraken, does it provides you with your private key?
No. Kraken, as well as Uphold, Coinbase, Binance, Gemini, and pretty much almost all exchanges, are totally centralized and don't give you access to your private keys. What you need to do is, after buying the bitcoin, simply withdraw the funds immediately to a reputable non-custodial wallet such as Electrum[1] or BlueWallet[2]. Or if you have the money, opt-in for more security using a Ledger[3] or Trezor[4] hardware wallet.

I guess uphold is only popular to brave users who want to get their earnings while using the browser.
AFAIK they offer to buy/sell equities such as tesla, amazon stocks and etc. aside from cryptocurrency using your local currency and vice versa.
Yes, I get it.
Brave users are using it.
I have a verified Uphold account use to collect my BAT tokens from browsing in Brave browser it serves as a crypto wallet also supporting coins like LTC, BCH, eth, or even fiat, I know Binance P2P also supports uphold account users but not tried it yet.
It's your only option to use Uphold to get your brave rewards and BAT Tokens,
Is the verification process takes a long time and is it hard, what other benefits of using Uphold account?
Have you ever used the support and they reply in a timely manner?
i use uphold for my brave rewards
Is it your only option to use Uphold to get your brave rewards? I do not have any experience with Brave rewards and why they only using Uphold.
If the verification process takes a long time and is hard, Then tell me What other benefits of using Uphold account?
Have you ever used the support and they reply in a timely manner?
Up Hold is a centralized wallet popular among those who come to the crypto world through different "jaws," other types of users used it to verify PayPal, since they grant a MasterCard, which by the way they stopped accepting them, also due to its API it has created different alliances that allow it to be known in much of the Fiat-crypto community with various projects.
On the other hand, it has charges for use that are not the most advantageous in the market, fee and account maintenance, I do not mention it as a negative if not trying to find something for which it might be so popular, anyway the Marketing does its thing in these cases and misinformation helps.
Thanks that's a lot of useful information that you are providing which is great, Thank you, it was used more when they were issuing credit or debit card that works with PayPal, I think they still allow you to fund your account with PayPal in order to get cryptocurrency of your choice that's why I was interested in the first place.
marketing and misleading information may get you there and getting an account and you never know what going to happen next, sure you could end up paying finance fees as I wasn't aware off, I hate this type of business that makes you pay maintenance fees or any fees to have an account, not sure what they thinking of...!
Thanks for letting me know.
