How much do I pay in fees for buying & selling Bitcoin?

Our transparent and competitive fee structure lets you get more bitcoin in your wallet. 0.9% fees when using an invite code (10% off the regular 1% fee) Zero fees on your first monthly auto-invest plan up to 100 CHF/€ – that’s up to 1,200 CHF/€ a year! Start buying bitcoin from just 50 CHF/€ By adding an invite code, you can reduce their fees from the initial 1 % to the final fee of 0.9 % for orders up to 100,000 CHF/€ per transaction. Credit card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay payments incur an additional fee of 3.0% per transaction.

What is self-custody?

Relai offers a self-custodial wallet - which means we never hold your Bitcoin for you. Instead, your Bitcoin goes straight into a wallet that only you can access. Not us. Not anyone else. When you create your wallet in the app, you’ll get something called a recovery phrase - a secret backup that proves ownership. As long as you keep that phrase safe, your bitcoin is always yours.

How do I buy Bitcoin with Relai?

To buy Bitcoin with Relai, start by downloading the app from the App Store or Google Play. Tap the ( + ) button and choose ‘Buy’.

You can also add a referral code to save on fees and choose to send Bitcoin directly to an external wallet. Finally, review your order and confirm it.
