You may have earned some Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) while using the Brave Browser.
This is great as you’re earning some passive income while browsing the web!
The BAT you’ve earned will be deposited into your Uphold account.
![Uphold Receive BAT Uphold Receive BAT](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Uphold-Receive-BAT.png)
However, if you’re not from these supported countries, you will be unable to withdraw your BAT for cash!
So how do you go about withdrawing BAT from Uphold?
Here’s what you need to know:

How to withdraw BAT from Uphold
Here are 8 steps you’ll need to withdraw BAT from Uphold:
- Go to ‘Transact’ at the right of your dashboard
- Select the account you wish to withdraw BAT from
- Select the amount of BAT you wish to withdraw
- Select your destination
- Find the address of your external wallet
- Paste the address of your external wallet in Uphold
- Review the transaction
- Receive BAT in your external wallet
#1 Go to ‘Transact’ at the right of your dashboard
When you go to your Uphold dashboard, it can be rather overwhelming.
![Uphold Dashboard Uphold Dashboard](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Uphold-Dashboard-1024x504.png)
If you want to withdraw BAT, you’ll need to focus on the ‘Transact‘ tab which is at the right of your dashboard.
#2 Select the account you wish to withdraw BAT from
The first thing you’ll need to select is the ‘From‘ field.
![Uphold From Field Uphold From Field](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Uphold-From-Field.png)
This allows you to select where you want to exchange your tokens from.
If you’re withdrawing BAT from your Brave Browser wallet, it should look something like this:
![Uphold Select Brave Browser Wallet Uphold Select Brave Browser Wallet](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Uphold-Select-Brave-Browser-Wallet.png)
#3 Select the amount of BAT you wish to withdraw
You’ll need to enter the amount of BAT you wish to withdraw from your wallet.
![Uphold Select Amount of BAT To Withdraw Uphold Select Amount of BAT To Withdraw](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Uphold-Select-Amount-of-BAT-To-Withdraw.png)
#4 Select your destination
For the next step, you’ll need to decide where you want to send your BAT to.
![Uphold Select Destination Uphold Select Destination](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Uphold-Select-Destination.png)
If you are from one of Uphold’s supported countries, you are able to send your BAT to your bank account.
![Uphold Select Bank Currency Uphold Select Bank Currency](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Uphold-Select-Bank-Currency.png)
However, you may not be from a country that is supported by Uphold! In this case, you’ll need to send your BAT to another crypto platform that allows you to sell BAT for a fiat currency.
You’ll need to look for ‘Crypto Networks’, and select BAT as the network you want to send your BAT to.
![Uphold Select Crypto Network Uphold Select Crypto Network](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Uphold-Select-Crypto-Network.png)
If you select the wrong network, your BAT will be lost forever!
You will be able to preview the fee that you’ll need to pay.
![Uphold View Network Fee Withdraw BAT Uphold View Network Fee Withdraw BAT](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Uphold-View-Network-Fee-Withdraw-BAT.png)
The network fee can be really hefty! If you intend to only send small amounts of BAT, I would recommend waiting a few months to earn more BAT first.
#5 Find the address of your external wallet
You will be asked to give the address of the external wallet that you wish to deposit your BAT to.
![Uphold Withdraw BAT To BAT Wallet Uphold Withdraw BAT To BAT Wallet](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Uphold-Withdraw-BAT-To-BAT-Wallet.png)
At this time, you’ll need to find the wallet address on the platform that you want to receive BAT.
For this example, I will be depositing my BAT into Gemini. As such, I’ll need to retrieve the wallet address from Gemini.
![Uphold Retrieve BAT Wallet Address From Gemini Uphold Retrieve BAT Wallet Address From Gemini](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Uphold-Retrieve-BAT-Wallet-Address-From-Gemini-1024x779.png)
When you’re copying the wallet address, don’t forget to copy the entire address!
If you miss out any number or letter in the address, your BAT will be lost forever too.
#6 Paste the address of your external wallet in Uphold
After retrieving the address from your external wallet, you’ll need to paste it into Uphold.
![Uphold Paste External Wallet Address To Withdraw BAT Uphold Paste External Wallet Address To Withdraw BAT](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Uphold-Paste-External-Wallet-Address-To-Withdraw-BAT.png)
#7 Review the transaction
Before sending your BAT to your external wallet, you can review your transaction one more time.
![Uphold Review Transaction BAT Uphold Review Transaction BAT](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Uphold-Review-Transaction-BAT.png)
After that, you’ll need to authenticate the transaction with your 2FA.
![Uphold Approve Transaction BAT Uphold Approve Transaction BAT](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Uphold-Approve-Transaction-BAT.png)
#8 Receive BAT in your external wallet
After approval, your BAT will be sent to your external wallet.
Depending on the network usage, it may take a while before you receive your BAT in the external wallet.
Where can I withdraw my BAT to?
Here are 9 options that you can consider withdrawing your BAT to:
- Gemini
- Binance
- Crypto.com
- AAX
- Coinbase
- Coinhako
- Huobi
- KuCoin
- Celsius
Gemini
Gemini allows you to deposit BAT into your account.
![Uphold Retrieve BAT Wallet Address From Gemini Uphold Retrieve BAT Wallet Address From Gemini](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Uphold-Retrieve-BAT-Wallet-Address-From-Gemini-1024x779.png)
You can choose to sell your BAT immediately via Gemini Exchange.
![Gemini Exchange Sell BAT Gemini Exchange Sell BAT](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Gemini-Exchange-Sell-BAT.png)
However, the fees can be really high, especially if you’re only selling a small amount of BAT!
Instead, you could try to use Gemini’s Active Trader instead.
![Gemini Active Trader Platform Gemini Active Trader Platform](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Gemini-Active-Trader-Platform-1024x472.png)
There are 3 trading pairs on the platform with BAT:
- BAT-BTC
- BAT-ETH
- BAT-USD
![Gemini Active Trader BAT Trading Pairs Gemini Active Trader BAT Trading Pairs](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Gemini-Active-Trader-BAT-Trading-Pairs.png)
If you want to sell your BAT for EUR, GBP or SGD, you’ll need to make at least 2 trades.
The fees are much cheaper as you will be charged up to 0.35%.
You can earn interest on your BAT on Gemini too
If you intend to hold onto your BAT as you see its value increasing in the future, you can send your BAT to Gemini Earn.
![Gemini Earn BAT Gemini Earn BAT](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Gemini-Earn-BAT-595x1024.jpeg)
Gemini loans out your BAT to their approved partners, and you’ll get interest in return.
Currently, Genesis is Gemini’s only approved partner. You’ll also be able to earn up to 3.49% in interest as well!
However, Gemini may loan out your BAT via an unsecured loan.
![Gemini Earn Terms Of Service Program Risks Gemini Earn Terms Of Service Program Risks](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Gemini-Earn-Terms-Of-Service-Program-Risks-1024x533.png)
This makes Gemini Earn riskier compared to other platforms like Celsius or BlockFi.
Binance
Binance supports a lot of cryptocurrencies on their platform.
You are able to buy and sell over 200+ currencies!
You can send the BAT you own to Binance, and trade them for these currencies:
- BTC
- USDT
- BUSD
- BNB
- ETH
- USDC
![Binance BNB Trading Pairs Binance BNB Trading Pairs](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Binance-BNB-Trading-Pairs.png)
This is great if you want to buy another cryptocurrency on Binance’s platform.
Binance charges you a trading fee of up to 0.1%, which is really low!
However, Binance does not have fiat support. This means you can’t trade your BAT to a fiat currency, and withdraw the fiat to your bank account.
Sending BAT to Binance would only be suitable if you want to trade your BAT for another cryptocurrency.
Crypto.com
Crypto.com supports BAT on their platform as well. You can either send it to the app,
![Crypto.com App Receive BAT Crypto.com App Receive BAT](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Crypto.com-App-Receive-BAT-694x1024.jpeg)
or to the Exchange.
![Crypto.com Exchange Receive BAT Crypto.com Exchange Receive BAT](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Crypto.com-Exchange-Receive-BAT.png)
The app allows you to sell off your BAT to a fiat currency. However, you may have to make multiple trades.
For example, if I want to sell off my BAT for SGD, I would need to make 2 trades:
- BAT to CRO
- CRO to SGD
Crypto.com’s Exchange is similar to Binance, where you can only trade your BAT for another cryptocurrency.
![Crypto.com Exchange Platform Crypto.com Exchange Platform](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Crypto.com-Exchange-Platform-1024x442.png)
However, they have a limited number of trading pairs with BAT:
- BAT/CRO
- BAT/USDT
As such, you can only trade your BAT for these 2 currencies.
Crypto.com charges a trading fee of up to 0.16%, which is slightly higher compared to Binance.
Overall, Crypto.com is good if you want to sell off your BAT for a fiat currency.
However, its exchange platform is less appealing compared to Binance.
AAX
AAX allows you to receive BAT on their platform.
![AAX Receive BAT AAX Receive BAT](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/AAX-Receive-BAT-1024x325.png)
After that, you can trade your BAT for either USDT, or BTC.
![AAX BAT Trading Pairs AAX BAT Trading Pairs](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/AAX-BAT-Trading-Pairs.png)
From there, you can use the Exchange function to sell your USDT or BTC for a fiat currency.
![AAX Exchange USDT For Fiat AAX Exchange USDT For Fiat](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/AAX-Exchange-USDT-For-Fiat-913x1024.png)
When you withdraw your fiat currency to your bank account, you will incur a withdrawal fee of 0.3%.
The minimum fee depends on your currency.
AAX is a good platform to send your BAT to if you want to cash out to a fiat currency like CAD or JPY. However, the fees may be rather hefty if you’re only withdrawing a small sum each time!
Coinbase
Coinbase allows you to send BAT to their platform.
![Coinbase Receive BAT Coinbase Receive BAT](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Coinbase-Receive-BAT.png)
However, different amounts of functions will be available to you, depending on the country you’re from.
For example, I am from Singapore. I can only convert my BAT to another currency on Coinbase.
I cannot withdraw my funds from Coinbase to a bank account!
As such, the usefulness of withdrawing to Coinbase depends on the country you’re from.
Coinhako
If you are from Singapore, you can consider sending your BAT to Coinhako.
![Coinhako Receive BAT Coinhako Receive BAT](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Coinhako-Receive-BAT-1024x901.png)
After that, you are able to sell your BAT for SGD immediately.
![Coinhako Sell BAT For SGD Coinhako Sell BAT For SGD](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Coinhako-Sell-BAT-For-SGD-1024x571.png)
There are some fees that you need to consider:
- Trading fee of 1%
- Withdrawal fee of $2
Even with the higher fees, it may be worth it as you only need to make one trade.
Huobi
You can deposit your BAT into Huobi.
![Huobi Receive BAT Huobi Receive BAT](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Huobi-Receive-BAT-1024x439.png)
After that, you can use Huobi’s trading platform to trade your BAT to these currencies:
- USDT
- BTC
- ETH
![Huobi BAT Trading Pairs Huobi BAT Trading Pairs](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Huobi-BAT-Trading-Pairs.png)
Similar to Binance, Huobi does not support any fiat currencies.
Moreover, Huobi charges a trading fee of up to 0.2%, which is twice as much as Binance.
As such, Binance may be the better option for you, due to the lower fees.
KuCoin
You can deposit BAT on KuCoin as well.
![KuCoin Receive BAT KuCoin Receive BAT](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/KuCoin-Receive-BAT-1024x931.png)
However, you can only trade your BAT for USDT.
![KuCoin BAT Trading Pairs KuCoin BAT Trading Pairs](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/KuCoin-BAT-Trading-Pairs.png)
This is much more limited compared to Binance or Huobi.
KuCoin also charges a trading fee of up to 0.1%, which is similar to Binance.
Celsius
Instead of trying to sell your BAT for cash, why not earn interest on it instead?
Furthermore, the price of BAT could increase in the future as it increases its adoption rate!
Celsius is another platform, apart from Gemini Earn, that allows you to earn interest on your BAT.
![Celsius Earn Interest On BAT Celsius Earn Interest On BAT](https://thefipharmacist.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Celsius-Earn-Interest-On-BAT-713x1024.jpeg)
You are able to earn up to 3.51% on your BAT! This is very similar to the interest rate provided by Gemini Earn.
If you are interested in depositing your BAT to Celsius, you can check out my guide to find out more.
The best part is that Celsius does not charge you any withdrawal fees. This allows you to freely withdraw your coins from Celsius to another platform to cash out!
As such, Celsius is a platform you can consider to earn interest on your BAT.
Conclusion
If you do not come from one of Uphold’s supported countries, the only way you can receive BAT is by withdrawing to another wallet.
However, the network fees are really high. If you are only transferring a small amount each time, you will lose a lot of BAT in the process! An alternative would be to link your Brave Browser to Gemini instead, which has up to 10 free withdrawals a month.
There are quite a few platforms that you can consider transferring your BAT to. Here are some things you may want to consider when deciding on a platform:
- The ability to sell BAT directly to a fiat currency
- The trading pairs available with BAT
- The fees that you’ll incur when trading
