Comparing exchanges
How to compare crypto exchange fees in Australia
An exchange advertising "zero" fees isn't always the cheapest once the spread is factored in, so compare all four costs. General information only, not a recommendation.
Deposit fee. What it costs to get AUD onto the platform (Digital Surge: $0 by PayID or bank transfer).
Trading fee. Charged on each buy, sell or swap (Digital Surge: from 0.1%).
Spread. The buy/sell price gap, where "zero-fee" costs often hide.
Withdrawal fee. For AUD (Digital Surge: $0) and for crypto (the network fee, passed through at cost).
Do crypto exchanges in Australia have hidden fees?
Some do, usually in the spread, where a "zero-fee" platform recovers its margin. Digital Surge keeps its spreads transparent, so the price you see is the basis for what you pay.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What fees does Digital Surge charge?
Digital Surge charges from 0.1% to buy, sell or swap crypto, with automatic discounts for high-volume traders. A crypto-to-crypto swap is a single trade fee. One fee, not two. Depositing AUD by PayID or bank transfer is free, and withdrawing AUD to your bank is free. The only other cost is the blockchain network fee when you withdraw crypto, passed through at cost. Every fee is shown before you confirm an order.
Do recurring buys or trigger orders cost extra?
No. Recurring buys and trigger orders are charged at the same trading fee as a standard order: from 0.1%, with no separate scheduling or automation fee. Each order fills at the live price with the fee shown before it runs.
Is 0.1% a competitive crypto trading fee in Australia?
0.1% is a low, transparent trading fee. It’s charged as a commission on each buy, sell or swap, including recurring buys and trigger orders, and high-volume traders pay less again through automatic discounts. When you compare exchanges, also check the spread and any deposit or withdrawal fees, since those can outweigh a low headline rate. This is general information only, not a recommendation.
Are there any hidden fees on Digital Surge?
No. Digital Surge shows the trading fee, the live price and any volume discount on the order screen before you confirm, and passes blockchain network fees through at cost without a markup. AUD deposits and AUD withdrawals are free, and the spread is kept transparent and competitive, not used to hide a cost.
Does Digital Surge charge a deposit or AUD withdrawal fee?
No. AUD deposits by PayID or bank transfer are $0, and withdrawing AUD to your Australian bank account is also $0. You only pay a network fee when you withdraw crypto to an external wallet, and that fee is set by the blockchain, not by Digital Surge.
How much does it cost to withdraw crypto?
The cost to withdraw crypto is the blockchain’s network fee, which varies by coin and network conditions. Digital Surge passes it through at cost and doesn’t add a markup. The current fee for each coin is listed on our cryptocurrency withdrawal fees page and shown on the withdrawal screen before you confirm.
Are there fee discounts for high-volume or business trading?
Yes. Fee discounts apply automatically as your trading volume grows, with nothing to claim or apply for. Businesses and active traders can see the rate that applies to their account in-app and can also set up a company or business account with Digital Surge.
