Probably as part of exchange rate where they add a markup. So you don't see an explicit fee in your statement but they use little worse exchange rate and that is their cut.
Also whoever is their payment processor (whoever they partnered with to print those debit cards as they don't have license to do it themselves) is charging some fees.
- colecut 9y agoI could be wrong, but I haven't seen any evidence of these fees. Coinbase charges a 1.49% fee when transferring to/from my Bank changing between USD and BTC. GDAX, which is owned by Coinbase, does not appear to charge me this fee. I don't see evidence of the Shift card charging it either.
