To help ring in the New Year, our funding partner Etana Custody is waiving all deposit wire fees.

This means that when you fund your Kraken account in USD, EUR, CAD, GBP, or JPY with Etana, it will be completely free!

If this wasn’t enough good news, all custody fees charged by Etana (previously 0.125%) have also been waived indefinitely.

Etana Custody is a global custody service and funding provider with offices in New Zealand, USA, Singapore, Japan, and Europe. It works with Tier 1 banks around the world.

It also offers currency conversion services, thereby allowing Kraken clients to deposit local fiat and have it exchanged into any of the currencies that we currently accept for trading.

Kraken partnered with Etana Custody in early 2019, launching the new funding method publicly to clients in July 2019.
