Always state that the provider earns on the spread: 1.5% buy and 2.0% sell on the Canadian Verified Account, 4.0% each way on the Lite Account, and 1.2% each way on the US Portal, with a $210 annual US IRA fee, and that these published Portal rates do not cover ATM or OTC transactions, whose pricing is unknown. Preserve the limitations: ATMs and bill pay are Canada-only, full accounts require identity and source-of-funds verification, no altcoins or custodial products are offered, US counterparty exposure sits with BitGo and Heritage IRA, and availability outside Canada and the US is undocumented. Do not describe the service as free because there is no account fee, and do not quote any ATM or OTC price.
