How to Deposit on Polymarket from the UK
Polymarket enforces geofencing restrictions affecting UK-based participants, though PolyGram provides unrestricted access to the identical CLOB order book alongside purpose-built UK funding pathways. All market positions settle in USDC via the Polygon blockchain.
UK Deposit Methods Available on PolyGram
Bank Transfer (Faster Payments / Open Banking)
British account holders can top up their PolyGram wallet through Faster Payments, powered by PolyGram's licensed fiat gateway partner. Your sterling deposit converts to USDC instantly and typically lands in your trading account within 5 minutes. Entry threshold stands at £10. PolyGram itself levies no charge; the gateway operator deducts 1–1.5% from your transfer.
Debit & Credit Card
Both Visa and Mastercard payment cards work for deposits. Some banks classify credit card transactions as cash advances and may block them — debit cards sidestep this issue entirely. The gateway charges roughly 1.8% on card-funded deposits.
Klarna
Klarna's buy-now-pay-later service integrates with PolyGram for qualified UK members. You can execute trades immediately and repay over a 30-day period with no interest. Your Klarna account must be active and in good standing to use this option.
Crypto (USDC, ETH, BTC)
Transfer USDC directly into your PolyGram Polygon-native wallet from major custodians such as Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance. You may also deposit ETH or BTC — PolyGram's conversion layer swaps these automatically into USDC. This route delivers the lowest friction and cost for high-frequency traders. Polygon-based transactions settle in under 60 seconds.
