Why is Gemini not working?

Most "Gemini is down" reports are ACH deposits held longer than expected, a withdrawal paused for a document request, or app slowdowns during sharp price moves, rather than the exchange itself being offline.

How long will a pending Gemini order take?

Minutes when it is a blockchain confirmation, hours to days when it is a verification or compliance review. Open a ticket with the order ID rather than resubmitting.

Can I buy crypto today if Gemini is down?

Yes. Anytime Capital is independent of Gemini and its processors. Card and Apple Pay orders confirm in minutes, wires settle the same business day, and the Atlanta branch takes cash. Call (470) 748-2530 if you want someone to walk you through it.

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

Yes. Withdraw from Gemini to a wallet you control (or leave it there), create an Anytime Capital account, verify once, and paste any wallet address at checkout. Nothing you already hold needs to move.

How does Anytime Capital pricing compare with Gemini?

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. Gemini prices a 3.49% fee on debit card purchases in the app, on top of the convenience fee and the transaction fee, roughly 3.49% on the headline, with a number of free crypto withdrawals each month, then the network fee; free ACH cash-out. 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.
