The process of getting yourself up and running with a live Coinbase account is relatively straight forward, and fortunately this is a crypto exchange that has built a reputation as one of the best crypto exchanges for beginners. As one of the few crypto exchanges to be publicly listed in the US, there is also some greater insight into the business operations and client numbers than you might find elsewhere due to SEC regulatory oversight.

Making your first deposit with a safe and trusted crypto platform is often a priority, and Coinbase serve this market very well across many different Countries.

For those who are looking for something more advanced, and with the ability to reduce fees, it may be worth considering Coinbase Pro.

Coinbase Pro Minimum Deposit

Coinbase Pro minimum deposit is actually officially stated as $0 but it is clear to any aspiring crypto enthusiast that a $0 account balance is not going to get you very far with buying any crypto.

It could be assumed that someone opting for Coinbase Pro will already be holding crypto in some way, shape, or form, and in which case the minimum deposit level is rather irrelevant as you can choose to transfer crypto into Coinbase or Pro.

For the purposes of this guide, we are covering the Coinbase minimum deposit from a fiat, or cash, perspective, as opposed to direct cryptocurrency deposits.

If you are already a holder of cryptocurrency from an alternative exchange or wallet, then it is possible to transfer these into your Coinbase wallet effectively as a crypto deposit.

What is the recommended Coinbase minimum deposit

The Coinbase minimum deposit recommendation is mentioned as $50, but why is this different from the actual minimum allowed? Well, whilst it is a good thing for inclusivity that the minimum deposit with Coinbase is set so low across the board, the reality is that you cannot really make many crypto purchases with a $2 level. 

If you are a beginner to cryptocurrency, it could be assumed that you may want to pick one of the larger, more well known coins. In which case, the minimum order size that is offered on the Coinbase platform is 0.001BTC, 0.01ETH, or 0.01BCH which at this time has a lowest order value of around $28 for ETH, or $40 for BTC. 

So in short, if you do actually wish to purchase any cryptocurrency on Coinbase, you will likely need a deposit of at least those amounts above to get going with some of the major coins. The standard recommendation on Coinbase website is $50 or equivalent for that reason, which would provide you with some options in terms of your real entry level into the crypto market.

Coinbase Minimum Deposit UK

Although the official Coinbase minimum deposit UK to operate a GBP account does not change from the standard £2, it is recommended by Coinbase that if you are loading your account from a UK bank and wish to have instant verification then you proceed with a minimum deposit of £50.

UK customers of Coinbase are able to load cash into their accounts by using either Faster Payments and SEPA transfer. This can take up to 1 to 3 business days, meaning it is not instantaneous, so if you want to transact quicker than this, you will need to consider the alternatives. To buy cryptocurrency instantly on Coinbase, you can use your credit or debit card via 3D secure card. 

To cash out, Coinbase offers two options, which are Paypal, and Instant Card/Bank Cash Out.

Cashing out via Paypal can take up to 1 business day, which is still very competitive to the wider market. It is worth noting however that if your Paypal email address does not match your Coinbase email address, you would need to conduct a two step verification as a standard part of the KYC. The country and region must also match. As a standard policy, only 1 paypal account can be linked to one Coinbase account at any one time. If you would like to switch linked accounts, you must first unlink the previous account, and then link up the new and preferred account.

The other option would be an instant card/bank cash out. This process can take around 30 minutes on most occasions, but the guidance is to allow up to a maximum of 24 hours. 

The minimum withdrawal amount is set in line with the minimum fee you are charged for your Coinbase withdrawal which is set at £0.55. The Instant card cashout fee is set at 2% of the withdrawal amount, with the above minimum holding true, but the greater of either paid.
