Getting Funds into PolyGram as a UK-Based Trader
Although Polymarket operates with geographical restrictions affecting UK residents, PolyGram provides unrestricted entry to the identical CLOB order book alongside purpose-built UK funding pathways. Every contract resolves in USDC across the Polygon blockchain.
Funding Options for UK Customers on PolyGram
Bank Transfer (Faster Payments / Open Banking)
British account holders can top up their PolyGram wallet using Faster Payments via PolyGram's fiat gateway partner. Your sterling converts to USDC immediately, with most transactions settling within 5 minutes. Entry threshold stands at £10. PolyGram itself levies no charge — the gateway operator applies a 1–1.5% conversion markup.
Debit & Credit Card
Both Visa and Mastercard debit options work seamlessly. Issuing banks sometimes reject credit card transactions when flagged as cash advances — debit remains the safer choice. The on-ramp charges roughly 1.8% per transaction.
Klarna
Klarna's deferred-payment service is available for qualifying UK members. This arrangement permits you to execute trades immediately whilst deferring payment across a 30-day window. You'll need an active, verified Klarna account to participate.
Crypto (USDC, ETH, BTC)
Transfer USDC directly into your PolyGram Polygon address from any major exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance). You may also deposit ETH or BTC — PolyGram's bridge automatically swaps these to USDC. This remains the quickest and most economical route for high-frequency participants. Polygon settlement occurs within seconds.
