PricingSnapshotBanxa help article "How does Banxa set the price of cryptocurrency?" (https://support.banxa.com/en/support/solutions/articles/44002465167-how-does-banxa-set-the-price-of-cryptocurrency-, "Modified on Thu, 15 May, 2025"), fetched 28 September 2026, HTTP 200. Processing fee: BUY "Cards & Apple Pay" "1.99%", "Other payment methods" "0%". Spread table (buy): Banxa Spread "Typical: 2-4%" "Min: 0%" "Max: 15%"; Partner Spread (Optional) "Typical: 0-1%" "Max: 10%"; Recovery Spread "Typical: €0-1" "Max: €5". Network fee is a separate buy-side line item ("Market price"). Banxa's own worked example: "if you purchase €1,000 of Litecoin using SEPA" with Banxa spread "3%", Affiliate Fee "1%" and Recovery Fee "$1" ("0.1%") gives "Total Spread" "4.1%". The EU entity's identical article (44002625876, "How does EU Internet Ventures B.V (EUIV) set the price of cryptocurrency?") carries the same table. Worked example (our arithmetic, not a Banxa figure): a EUR 200 SEPA purchase at the typical spreads costs roughly 2 to 5 percent plus network fee; by card add the 1.99 percent processing fee, roughly 4 to 7 percent. The spread benchmark ("reputable, independent third-party pricing providers") is not named.Ramp Network help article "What fees are charged when buying crypto?" (https://support.rampnetwork.com/en/articles/10415-what-fees-does-ramp-network-charge-for-buying-crypto, dated "June 25, 2025"), fetched 29 September 2026, HTTP 200, unchanged from 18 August 2026. Buy-side fees (minimum fee, fee percentage): Bank transfers (manual) "Up to €2.49", "Up to 1.40%"; Easy Bank transfers "Up to €2.49", "Up to 2.40%"; Credit or debit cards (USD, EUR, GBP) "Up to €2.49", "Up to 3.9%"; Credit or debit cards (other currencies) "Up to €2.49" (local equivalent), "Up to 5.45%"; Pix "Up to €2.49", "Up to 2.90%"; Apple Pay and Google Pay "Same as the underlying card". The page says "The fees listed here apply to transactions on our own platform" and that partners may add their own fee. Network fee: "The network fee is determined by miners/validators on the blockchain in question." Rate: "the amount of crypto you receive is based on the exchange rate at the time your payment reaches our account"; no spread percentage and no named benchmark. Worked example (our arithmetic, not a Ramp figure): a EUR 200 purchase by manual bank transfer carries a Ramp fee of at most EUR 2.80 (1.40 percent cap), by EUR card at most EUR 7.80 (3.9 percent cap); the minimum fee does not bind at EUR 200; network fee and any partner fee are extra.

Which should you pick?
BA
Banxa
68#5 of 16
Pick it when
Pick Banxa if quote honesty matters most — it scores 6/10 to Ramp Network's 5/10 there (weight 26).
Strength
Licence identity — 8/10
Tradeoff
The honest disclosure cuts both ways: the 'typical 2-4%' Banxa spread carries a contractual maximum of 15% (plus 10% partner-spread max), and the 'locked-in' Final Price is guaranteed only if you send proof of payment 'immediately' - on a 1-3-business-day SEPA/ACH rail the number on the confirm button can lawfully move before settlement.

Leads
Pick it when
Ramp Network leads on no published criterion; its edge is measured data (8.3 vs 6.5 points). Pick it if that term is what you are buying.
Strength
Licence identity — 8/10
Tradeoff
The confirm-screen number is explicitly not the settled number: Ramp's own rate article says 'the amount you receive may differ from the initial quote' because the rate is struck 'at the moment your payment reaches our account', and its terms make bank-transfer repricing contractual — with the markup hidden inside an unquantified 'floating exchange rate' rather than published as a spread over a named benchmark.

Score dimensions
weights sum to 86
The published score is five dimensions, each weighted for the category. "Published criteria" is the criteria block above; the other four are the engine's own terms — availability, friction, trust record, measured data. Each bar is one side's points out of that dimension's maximum; the weight beside the name is its points of the 86-point weighted total. The published criteria above can fill 24 of the block’s 30. A weight marked “constant here” belongs to a dimension every ranked product in the category holds at the same value: it still counts in the total, and it orders nothing here.
