Three costs decide it: the exchange's taker fee, the spread you cross, and how you fund the account. A limit (maker) order usually costs less than a market (taker) order, and funding with a USDT or USD transfer is normally cheaper than a card purchase, which carries its own processing fee. Check the fee schedules on Kraken, MEXC, KuCoin before you trade — they differ.
Most major exchanges let you buy USD or USDT with a card, then swap into BOB on Kraken. Direct card-to-BOB depends on the exchange and your country — check that venue’s payment options.
Neither, as things stand — BOB is not on Binance or Coinbase spot in the venue list we track. The exchanges above are where it does trade, and listings change without notice.
That depends on the exchange, not on BOB itself — each venue serves different regions and runs its own verification. Check the exchange’s country list before signing up.
