CoinJar vs Unigox for USDT on Tron or TON

| What it is | A UK exchange where you buy, sell, send and store crypto with pounds in the CoinJar app, plus CoinJar Exchange, an order book for professional traders. | A marketplace for selling USDT or USDC: a P2P merchant or a payment business buys it and pays the account you name. |
| Networks for USDT | Ethereum only. USDT is on CoinJar's list of ERC-20 tokens, which use one network, Ethereum. Tron's own coin, TRX, is supported, but not USDT on Tron. An unsupported coin sent to a CoinJar address may be lost for good. | Deposits for a sale on Tron, TON, Solana, Ethereum or another supported EVM chain. |
| Fee on the sale | Two prices.
| Built into the rate quoted for your amount, which you see before you accept. |
| Getting the money | Faster Payments at no fee, only to a UK bank account in your verified name, not joint and not linked to another CoinJar. You link it first with a small deposit from it. | The buyer pays the bank account you add for the sale. During a trade the crypto sits in an on-chain escrow that Unigox can release only to the buyer or the seller. |

CoinJar says the cryptoassets it trades are largely unregulated in the UK, with no access to the FSCS or the Financial Ombudsman Service. | Unigox works through two companies: UNIGOX NETWORK CORP. in Canada handles the local-money side and is registered with FINTRAC as a money services business and with the Bank of Canada as a payment service provider; UNIGOX NETWORK CORP. in Panama handles the crypto side, including wallets and escrow. |
