Getting Funds Into Your PolyGram Account from the United Kingdom
Polymarket operates under geoblocking restrictions for residents of the UK, yet PolyGram delivers unrestricted access to the identical CLOB order book alongside purpose-built UK funding pathways. Every contract resolves in USDC across the Polygon blockchain.
Funding Options for UK-Based PolyGram Users
Direct Bank Payment (Faster Payments / Open Banking)
British traders may capitalise their PolyGram wallet using Faster Payments via PolyGram's licensed fiat gateway partner. Your sterling converts to USDC instantaneously, with deposits settling in roughly 5 minutes on average. The minimum required deposit stands at £10. PolyGram itself levies no charge; the gateway operator applies a 1–1.5% conversion fee.
Visa and Mastercard Options
Both debit and credit Visa and Mastercard products work seamlessly. Be aware that credit card issuers may reject deposits flagged as cash-like transactions — prioritise your debit card when feasible. The on-ramp charges approximately 1.8% per transaction.
Klarna Buy Now, Pay Later
Klarna's deferred-payment service is available to qualifying UK members. This arrangement permits you to execute trades immediately whilst deferring payment for up to 30 days. You must maintain an active, compliant Klarna account to utilise this option.
Digital Assets (USDC, ETH, BTC)
Transfer USDC straight to your PolyGram Polygon address from any major exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Binance). Alternatively, deposit ETH or BTC — PolyGram's conversion layer handles the swap to USDC seamlessly. This represents the swiftest and most economical route for high-frequency traders. Polygon settlement occurs in under 60 seconds.
