We're introduced a new "Low Cost" withdraw option to continue our commitment to low fees for Bitcoin. This option is 5 times cheaper than other services withdraw fees and as all low cost transfers are sent with Immediate and High speed transfers, you will usually have your Bitcoin much sooner than the 8 hour estimate.

| 01/08/2020 | Optional services made clearer | |
|
Solidi always strives to provide the best and cheapest way to purchase Bitcoin and other crypto while at the same time offering the best support for our customers.
We've noticed over the last couple of months that a small proportion of our customers require additional service when purchasing crypto that usually get performed by the support team. We've now explicitly detailed these additional services and added them to our Fees page. We will begin charging for these services from today. These are completely optional in many cases we will provide them free of charge for the first instance. Please see more details on our Fees page. |

| 23/05/2020 | Support Fees for manually processed payments | |
|
Solidi always strives to provide the best and cheapest way to purchase Bitcoin and other crypto. We've led the way in the UK with a completely automated system for buying and selling crypto instantly. This system and our low pricing only works when we receive payments for the correct amount, correct reference and correct bank name.
We understand mistakes happen and although our terms and conditions have always given us the option to charge a fee for support, we have never done so. However, recently there has been a significant increase in payments arriving with the incorrect details which require our support team to manually process payments, often having to liaise with our bank. As of today we’re going to start passing on our support costs to customers who persistently require their payments to be manually processed. As normal we’ll send a polite email on the first occurrence, but for second and subsequent occurrences we’ll apply a discounted support fee of £5 (this is normally £15). We’ll monitor the situation and revise the fee if necessary. We hope that this will strike a fair balance between helping new customers and encouraging long term customers to keep the costs down for everyone. |
