# How fees work

> What Loosh charges for, and where to see the current amounts.

Loosh charges in one place: **when you take money out**. Everything you do inside Loosh is free.

|                                   |                                                  |
| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Topping up by card                | **Free**                                         |
| Sending to another wallet         | **Free** — the person gets exactly what you send |
| Receiving                         | **Free**                                         |
| Issuing and redeeming cash tokens | **Free**, both sides                             |
| Settling a pledge                 | **Free** — it is an ordinary send                |
| **Withdrawing**                   | **A platform fee**, shown before you confirm     |

## What you see when you withdraw

The review screen breaks it down before you commit — the amount you asked for, the platform fee, the one-time verification fee if it is your first withdrawal, and what you will actually receive.

Operational and administrative costs are covered by a **platform fee** that is calculated as a percentage of the amount of money you withdraw from your wallet. This fee applies to every withdrawal you will ever make from your Loosh wallets.

## The one-time verification fee

Verifying your identity costs something, and Loosh recovers it once, from your first withdrawal. Never again after that — and if that first withdrawal fails, the fee is released with the refund, so you are not charged for a payout that never happened.

<Info>
  **The figures live in the app, not on this page.** Fees and limits are set per region and can change. The app always shows the amount that will actually be charged, on the screen where you are about to be charged it. Publishing a number here as well would create a second version that can fall out of date.
