What are the withdrawal fees?

Reading time: 2 min Updated October 2, 2026
TL;DR

No fees on Ktkarena's side. The only possible fees are your provider's (1.5% for Stripe, 0.5% for Yellow Card, 0.4% for Kotani Pay, 0% for Mobile Money). They're exactly the same fees as for deposits - we add no markup.

Payments aren't open yet during the beta.

No fees on Ktkarena's side

It's a strict rule: we take NO fees on your withdrawals. Our only revenue is the commission on the pot of every settled challenge (1.5% to 5% depending on the stake tier).

Provider fees (which we don't mark up)

Method Withdrawal fee
Mobile Money (Orange, MTN, Wave)0%
Bank card (Visa, Mastercard)1.5%
USDC stablecoin (Yellow Card)0.5%
USDC stablecoin (Kotani Pay)0.4%

Good to know. These are the fees our providers charge us. We pass them on as-is, with no markup.

Why is Mobile Money free?

Because Orange, MTN, and Wave charge us nothing for outgoing transfers (unlike incoming ones). So we charge you nothing either.

What about exchange fees?

No explicit exchange fees, but the conversion rate from KTK to your local currency is based on market rates at that moment. If you deposit in FCFA and withdraw later, the rate may have shifted slightly. That's inherent to any multi-currency transaction.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. Our Legal Notice page and our Terms of Service are explicit: no fees other than those displayed at the time of the transaction. If you see an amount different from what was announced, report it - it's a bug to fix.

Because we chose a single source of revenue: the commission on the pot of every settled challenge. It's more transparent and better aligned with your interest: we earn when a challenge is played, not when you move money around.
