Fees and Charges

Do you know the prices of one Bitcoin is not the same in every crypto exchange instead it varies from platform to platform? Bitcoin from ‘CoinSwitch Kuber’ is the most expensive one in India, after that ‘WazirX’ then ‘Zeb-pay’ and the lowest listed price of Bitcoin is on Binance.

There is a 5%-7% difference in prices between CoinSwitch Kuber and WazirX.

Now you might think Binance has the least price of a Bitcoin, so why not use Binance?
