Company mission
To provide modern infrastructure for on-chain payments, banking and investments.
Our take
The world of modern finance is changing fast, but a lot of people and businesses still feel stuck and are struggling to catch up. On top of this, getting into crypto or moving money across borders can feel like trying to solve a puzzle with half the pieces missing, making modern financing feel out of reach for most people.
Since 2013, Uphold has been helping people take control of their money with a digital wallet that makes trading, saving, and spending simple. Whether it's sending money abroad or buying Bitcoin, Uphold makes it all straightforward and easy. It even has an "Anything-to-Anything" feature that lets users swap between cryptos, currencies, and metals, all in one place.
In 2025, Uphold partnered with FTSE 250 trading platform IG Group to bring its digital wallet to an even larger audience. With millions of customers already in over 140 countries, Uphold has certainly proven it can make finance fairer.
