KoinKoin alternative with no 1% bank withdrawal step
KoinKoin charges 1% to withdraw to a bank. On Unigox, a KoinKoin alternative, the buyer of your USDT or USDC pays your bank or mobile money account directly. For futures, gold tokens or other coins, stay with KoinKoin.
When to stay with KoinKoin
You trade futures or coins other than stablecoins
KoinKoin lists more than 1,000 spot pairs and a USDT-settled futures market. Unigox has neither: it trades stablecoins against local money only.
You hold gold tokens or use Earn
KoinKoin sells PAXG and XAUt, gold tokens backed 1:1 and spot-settled, and its Earn tab offers flexible savings, fixed terms and staking from KuCoin's earn engine.
You want an exchange inside the SEC Ghana sandbox
SEC Ghana admitted KoinKoin to its 12-month virtual asset sandbox, one of 11 firms. KoinKoin's terms add that a sandbox licence is not full regulatory approval.
KoinKoin and Unigox for selling USDT
| Topic | KoinKoin | Unigox |
|---|---|---|
| How the sale works | You sell at the live USDT/GHS bid KoinKoin publishes, then withdraw the cedis. | A P2P merchant or a payment business buys your USDT or USDC at the rate Unigox quotes for the amount. |
| Spot trading fee | Its pages disagree: 0.20% maker and taker on the fee schedule, 0.10% taker and 0.08% maker in the terms, 0.13% on the home page. | No separate charge: the Unigox fee is counted in the rate you accept. |
| Getting the cedis out | Bank transfer, 1% of the amount, 1 to 2 business days. Cedi deposits to its virtual account are free. | Paid to the bank or mobile money account you name, by the merchant or payment business that bought your coins. |
| Where the coins sit | In a trading sub-account of your own at the liquidity venue KoinKoin uses, its home page says. | During a trade the crypto sits in an on-chain escrow that Unigox can release only to the buyer or the seller. |
| Identity check | Photo ID and a liveness check through Sumsub before trading. Withdrawals stop at 10,000 USD a day until Level 2, which adds proof of address. | Required before your first trade, at any amount. |
| Regulation | A participant in SEC Ghana's virtual asset sandbox under the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, 2025; not yet a full approval, by its own terms. | 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. |
UnigoxSwitch a USDT cash-out from KoinKoin in three steps
Verify before you move coins
Open a Unigox account and pass the ID check before your first sale. KoinKoin ran a Sumsub check on you, so keep the same photo ID at hand.
Send USDT out of KoinKoin
Send it to your Unigox deposit address on a network both list, such as TON or BNB Smart Chain. KoinKoin takes its network fee out of the amount: 0.50 USDT on TON, 1.00 on BNB Smart Chain, 1.99 on Tron.
Sell to a bank or mobile money account
Pick the currency to be paid in, enter the mobile money number or bank account the buyer pays, and accept the rate for your amount. On a P2P sale, confirm once the cedis arrive; only then does the escrow release your USDT to the buyer.
