The online cryptocurrency exchange Exmo has been busy this week updating its service and in the last few days, some important news surrounding commissions has been announced. Free Tether Deposits If we first kick off with the best news, which surrounds Tether (USDT). As of last Sunday, Exmo has removed all commission on deposits via Tether, this means that players can now deposit via Tether to their Exmo Exchange account for free. This is excellent news for those out there looking to trade via the controversial currency. If you want the full details on this then you should check out the financial terms and conditions on their website. Qiwi and Yandex Money Deposit Commissions Drop There is also good news for players who are looking to make deposits to Exmo via Russian payment services, Yandex Money and Qiwi. Although there is still a levy on these deposits. As of this morning (13/02/2019), these commissions have been lowered by quite a significant amount. Qiwi will now come with a 2.45% commission fee, which is more than a 1.50% drop from 3.95%. While Yandex Money has dropped down by 1% from 3.45% to 2.45%. These are very respectable drops, so it is ideal for players who were looking to deposit via these methods in the very near future.

The affected currencies will be USD, EUR, PLN, TRY, UAH, RUB. While rates of the commission still remain the very low amount of just 0.2% if you make up to 2 operations over one day. They will triple up to 0.6% if you opt to conduct more than 3 operations a day. These rates will be introduced as of 1/3/2019. This does not stretch across their service though, and you will still be able to generate EX-CODES for cryptocurrency assets and move them between accounts with no commission attached. While all other fiat currencies will remain free from the commission. EX-Code has been applauded for the benefits it offers players using the Exmo service, such as the instant transfer of funds to the account and the ability to transfer any fiat and cryptocurrency assets with optimal ease. It has contributed largely to Exmos popularity since its launch. With such a minimal increase it is unlikely to put too many people off using the service at this time, especially with simultaneous decreases happening with other currencies. However, it remains unclear why exactly so many changes are being made to their trading functions this week. In a blog post on Exmo’s website, co-founder, Ivan Petukhovsky explained the fiat increase was “to ensure the active development and maintenance of EX-CODE functionality.” Although this doesn’t shed much light on the situation, we will keep our ears on the ground and keep you updated with any developments on this topic.
