How long does Changelly verification take?

Most swaps complete in minutes; a held transaction waits on an email exchange with the AML team, and reviews describe holds lasting weeks or months.

Can I use Changelly without KYC?

No. Swaps run without an account, but Changelly's risk scoring can put a transaction on hold and require ID, a selfie and source-of-funds documents before releasing it; fiat purchases run the partner's full KYC. Anytime Capital is the same: verification is required before you can transact, because it is the law for a registered U.S. money services business.

Can I verify with Anytime Capital in person?

Yes. Bring your government ID to the Atlanta branch at 2549 Piedmont Road NE, Suite 110, Atlanta, GA 30324 during business hours, or verify online and call (470) 748-2530 if anything stalls.

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.
