Company information
The facts on file
- Description
- Kraken Pro is the advanced trading interface of Kraken (Payward, Inc.), covering order-book spot, margin, futures, API and OTC trading, distinct from the simpler Kraken instant buy/sell app. It uses a 17-step maker/taker fee ladder that from 2026 can be qualified for by either 30-day spot volume or Assets on Platform, reaching 0.00% maker and 0.05% taker at the top. It suits active order-book and API traders and large on-platform holders rather than casual buy-and-hold retail users.

- Regulatory
- Operating entity is Payward, Inc. Kraken publishes equities-specific legal terms and passes through regulatory agency fees on US stock/ETF trades, implying a regulated US brokerage arrangement, and it publishes a formal complaint-handling process. However, no entity registration details (SEC/CRD, FinCEN MSB, state money transmitter or EU MiCA licence) were verified this session, and the 'Proof of Reserves since 2014' claim is vendor marketing copy on its Trustpilot profile that has not been independently confirmed here.
