Getting Funds Into PolyGram from the United Kingdom

Although Polymarket restricts access for UK-based users, PolyGram offers unrestricted trading on the identical CLOB order book alongside purpose-built UK funding pathways. Every contract resolves in USDC across the Polygon blockchain.

Funding Options for UK Traders on PolyGram

Bank Transfer (Faster Payments / Open Banking)

British account holders can top up their PolyGram wallet using Faster Payments via PolyGram's fiat gateway partner. Your sterling converts to USDC instantly, with settlement typically occurring within 5 minutes. The floor for any deposit stands at £10. PolyGram itself levies no charge — your on-ramp provider deducts 1–1.5%.

Debit & Credit Card

Both Visa and Mastercard debit cards work seamlessly. Note that credit card transactions occasionally get flagged as cash advances by issuing banks and rejected — debit remains the safer choice. The on-ramp applies roughly 1.8% in processing costs.

Klarna

Klarna's buy-now-pay-later service is available to qualifying UK members. The mechanism allows you to execute trades immediately whilst deferring payment for up to 30 days. You'll need an active, compliant Klarna account to participate.

Crypto (USDC, ETH, BTC)

Transfer USDC directly into your PolyGram Polygon address from any major custodian (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance). Alternatively, deposit ETH or BTC — the platform's bridge automatically swaps these into USDC. For high-frequency traders, this represents the quickest and most economical route. Polygon settlement occurs in under sixty seconds.

Deposit Fees Comparison

  • Bank transfer: ~1–1.5% on-ramp fee
  • Debit card: ~1.8% on-ramp fee
  • Klarna: 0% (interest-free 30-day)
  • Crypto (USDC direct): ~$0.001 Polygon gas only

Minimum and Maximum Deposits

The entry threshold is $10 in equivalent value. PolyGram enforces no ceiling on deposit amounts. Identity verification becomes mandatory once your cumulative deposits reach $1,500. The verification process completes in 2–5 minutes.

How Long Do Deposits Take?

  • Bank transfer: 2–10 minutes
  • Card: instant–3 minutes
  • Crypto USDC: 30 seconds–2 minutes
