If you used the BRAVE browser on your smartphone regulary for some time, you probably earned quite a few BAT tokens with the Brave Rewards system. For a long time it was not possible to withdraw the tokens from the mobile app - this has changed now and it is a straightforward process.
Create an Uphold account to withdraw BAT
The first step to access your tokens from the Rewards program is to create an account on Uphold. This is a service that allows you to trade different cryptocurrencies, fiat currencies and even some commodities like gold or platinum. Additionally to that you can buy and sell crypto with your bank account.
The Uphold account is needed for withdrawing BAT from any system, regardless of whether you're using Brave for Android, iOS or PC. You have to go through a KYC process, which admittedly is not working as smooth as other similar services, but is nonetheless working. This official guide describes the process. You can register for an Uphold account on https://uphold.com/.
Withdraw BAT from your phone
Once you created an account on Uphold and verified your identity you have overcome the biggest challenge. The next step is to click the 'Brave Rewards' symbol in your browser. A pop-up will open up that shows your current BAT balance. In the top left corner you should see a button that says 'Verify Wallet' (see the screenshot bellow), after you click this button, you will get redirected to the Uphold website where you login to your account.
Congratulations! You have now successfully linked your mobile Brave browser to your Uphold account and withdraw your BAT tokens. Note that currently you need to have at least 25 BAT to withdraw them, this limitation does not exist on PC Brave browser.
After you linked your Brave Rewards and Uphold account it can take a few minutes up to a few hours until both token amounts sync. After that you can withdraw your BAT to your Ethereum wallet, trade them for other cryptocurrencies or withdraw them to your bank account.
