WazirX review

Trading costs a taker fee of 0.25% and a maker fee of 0.1%, both published on the same fee schedule. That taker fee sits above the 0.2% median across exchanges on this site, so each trade costs a little more than on a typical venue.

Fiat deposits run through bank transfer, the only method in the listing, so you fund the account from a bank rather than by card or wallet. Bank transfer is also the most common deposit route among the exchanges compared here.

Crypto deposits are free, while withdrawals follow a per-coin schedule rather than one flat charge, so the cost depends on which coin you send. Trading fees sit on top of that, with a taker fee of 0.25% when you sell into the order book.

The registration names the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), India, which is the only regulator listed for the exchange. Because that is a financial intelligence registration rather than a broader rulebook, it pays to read the custody terms closely before putting money in.

Yes. Custody here is custodial, meaning the platform holds balances on your behalf rather than handing you the keys. Spot trading covers 150 coins on those accounts, and derivatives are available on the same venue.

The listing shows 150 coins, comfortably above the 62 median for the exchanges compared here. It is still narrower than the widest lists, so traders after long-tail tokens may find gaps. Derivatives are offered on the same platform.

Support runs by email, phone and help centre, so a help centre, email, phone and a community channel are all listed. Phone contact in particular is not offered by every exchange in this comparison, which helps when a deposit or withdrawal needs chasing.

WazirX is headquartered in India and was founded in 2018, so it is an India-based operation rather than a front for something offshore. The listing describes it as a centralised exchange, meaning trading and custody sit with a single operator.
