Referral terms vary by region and account state.

KuCoin publishes 0.1% taker / 0.1% maker as its entry-tier trading fees, and every number on this page links back to the official schedule it came from (last checked July 11, 2026). KuCoin accepts sign-ups from South Africa at the time of our last check. Reserve transparency is part of the score here: the table notes what the platform publishes about its holdings. The service has operated since 2017, which we treat as track record, not as an endorsement. South African users usually have full access to global venues, with ZAR funding via local card or EFT rails where supported.
