Getting Funds Into Your PolyGram Account from the UK

Polymarket operates under geofencing restrictions affecting UK-based users, yet PolyGram delivers unrestricted access to the identical CLOB order book alongside purpose-built UK funding pathways. Settlement of all positions occurs in USDC across the Polygon blockchain.

Funding Options for UK Players on PolyGram

Bank Transfer (Faster Payments / Open Banking)

British account holders can top up PolyGram wallets using Faster Payments routed through PolyGram's fiat gateway partner. Your sterling converts to USDC instantaneously, landing in your account within roughly 5 minutes on average. The floor for any single deposit stands at £10. PolyGram itself levies no charge; instead the gateway operator applies a 1–1.5% markup.

Debit & Credit Card

Both Visa and Mastercard payment cards work for deposits. Note that some card issuers may block credit card transactions if they flag the purchase as a cash-like advance — defaulting to a debit card mitigates this risk. The on-ramp charges roughly 1.8% per transaction.

Klarna

Klarna's Buy Now, Pay Later scheme integrates with PolyGram for qualifying UK members. The arrangement allows you to execute trades straight away whilst deferring payment for up to 30 days interest-free. You'll need an active, compliant Klarna profile to qualify.

Crypto (USDC, ETH, BTC)

Transfer USDC directly from your preferred crypto exchange (such as Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance) to your PolyGram address on Polygon. Alternatively, deposit ETH or BTC — the platform's bridge mechanism handles conversion to USDC automatically. This route suits high-frequency traders best, combining speed with minimal expense. Polygon settlement occurs in under 60 seconds per transaction.

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 upper ceiling on deposit size. However, identity verification becomes mandatory once cumulative deposits reach $1,500. The KYC process completes in 2–5 minutes typically.

How Long Do Deposits Take?

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