Understanding All the Fees

Updated June 27, 20265 min read

The Fees, Plainly

Bitlendex keeps fees minimal and transparent. Here's everything you might pay on a loan:

  • Origination fee — 2%: a one-time fee applied to every loan. It is financed — added to your loan balance rather than deducted from your payout.
  • Network fees: standard Bitcoin transaction fees when you deposit or withdraw collateral, plus a small bridge/network fee on the USDC payout.
  • Conversion (bank payouts only): when you receive fiat, a small spread applies to convert USDC to USD through our banking partner.

No surprise fees

There are no prepayment penalties, no monthly maintenance fees, and no account fees. You'll see your costs before you confirm a loan.

How the Fees Are Applied

The 2% origination fee is financed: it is added to your loan balance instead of being taken out of your payout. Only the small flat network/bridge fee is deducted from the amount sent to you. For a $40,000 loan, you'd receive $40,000 minus a network fee of well under a dollar, and your starting loan balance would be about $40,800.

A sample loan summary for a $40,000 loan — the origination fee is financed on top, not deducted. Figures shown are illustrative.
