As of Friday 6th October 2023 UK-based CoinCorner users are no longer able to purchase Ethereum or Litecoin on our platform.
UK users are still able to sell any ETH or LTC balances they hold with us, and can continue storing these altcoins in their CoinCorner wallet, but won't be able to purchase more on their CoinCorner account.
This is only the case for UK residents, and for the time being our users from non-UK countries will still have full buy functionality available to them on the platform.
Selling ETH and LTC
You will need to go into the Exchange tab in the sidebar of your account where you will be in the Buy tab by default, click the Sell tab to change. To sell ETH/LTC you will need to change the From dropdown from BTC Wallet to ETH Wallet or LTC Wallet.
Fill out the Amount field, the other box will autofill once you've entered an amount in one. Keep in mind that the amounts in these boxes will not take the sell fee into account.
A full breakdown of the transaction, including price and fees, will show on the right hand side of the page. This will display the price you're selling at, the fee you'll be subject to and the GBP/EUR amount you will receive in your GBP/EUR balance after the transaction has been completed.
Once you've checked the transaction breakdown if you're happy to proceed with the trade then click the Sell button. The trade will be completed instantly and your balances will be updated accordingly.
Buying ETH and LTC for non-UK residents
You will first need to go into the Exchange tab in the sidebar of your account where you will be in the Buy tab by default. To buy ETH or LTC you will need to change the To dropdown from BTC Wallet to either ETH Wallet or LTC Wallet.
Fill out the Amount field, the other box will autofill once you've entered an amount in one. Keep in mind that the amounts in these boxes will not take the buy fee into account.
A full breakdown of the transaction, including price and fees, will show on the right hand side of the page. This will display the price you're buying at, the fee you'll be subject to and the ETH/LTC amount you will receive in your balance after the transaction has been completed.
Once you've checked the transaction breakdown if you're happy to proceed with the trade then click the Buy button. The trade will be completed instantly and your balances will be updated accordingly.
Please keep in mind that we do not have send/receive functionality in place for the altcoins, for UK or non-UK users, so any ETH/LTC purchased will need to be held in your CoinCorner wallet and can't be withdrawn elsewhere.
