Can I use Changelly in the United States?

No. Changelly's terms exclude residents of the United States and its territories, including Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and U.S. IP addresses are blocked. Anytime Capital is a U.S. money services business serving customers in the United States and worldwide.

What does Changelly charge?

0.25% on crypto-to-crypto swaps, plus a spread that is wider on fixed-rate swaps, plus the network fee. Buying crypto with a card goes through partners such as MoonPay, Banxa or Simplex at the partner's own fee, minimum and spread. Anytime Capital's card pricing starts from 4% with the spread included, one all-in number shown before you confirm.

Why is my Changelly transaction on hold?

Changelly's risk scoring flagged it for AML review, which means providing ID, a selfie and possibly source-of-funds documents to its compliance team by email before the coins are released. Holds can last weeks. Anytime Capital's verification happens before you pay, and a question is answered at (470) 748-2530.

Does Changelly have a phone number?

No. Changelly offers 24/7 live chat and email, with a separate compliance address for held transactions. Anytime Capital can be reached at (470) 748-2530, by email, at its Atlanta branch, or at its Miami office.

Is Changelly regulated?

Changelly publishes an AML and KYC policy but is not registered with FinCEN or licensed in any U.S. state, and its operating company is registered offshore. Fiat purchases rely on its partners' licenses. Anytime Capital is a U.S. money services business with a branch in Atlanta.

Can I switch from Changelly to Anytime Capital without moving my crypto?

Yes. Both send purchased crypto to a wallet address you control, so nothing needs to move. Create an Anytime Capital account, verify once with your ID and a selfie, and paste the same address at checkout.

How does Anytime Capital pricing compare with Changelly?

Anytime Capital quotes one all-in number: card, Apple Pay and Google Pay orders start from 4% with the spread included, and the amount you pay and the crypto you receive are both on screen before you confirm. Changelly prices no card rail of its own; fiat purchases are handed to partners such as MoonPay, Banxa, Simplex and Mercuryo, whose fees are widely reported at roughly 1% to 7% plus each partner's minimum, spread and network fee, with the network fee to deliver the swapped coins; Changelly does not hold an account balance for you. Blockchain network fees apply at both. Compare the crypto that lands on the same order size rather than the headline rate.

Is Anytime Capital regulated?

Anytime Capital is a U.S.-based money services business registered with FinCEN, serving customers worldwide, with a physical branch in Atlanta and an office in Miami. Identity verification is required before you can transact, the same as at every compliant platform.
