Changelly does not publish a single headline fee, so this page collects the terms it does publish and links every claim to its source (last checked September 8, 2026). Changelly does not currently accept customers from Hong Kong according to its published terms, so this page is informational for Hong Kong readers — the alternatives listed below do accept local sign-ups. Verification rules are summarised below straight from the official help pages, so you know what the platform asks for before you commit an email address. The service has operated since 2015, which we treat as track record, not as an endorsement. Hong Kong licenses retail crypto trading through a local regime, and some global venues exclude Hong Kong residents from parts of their product line.

Using Changelly from Hong Kong
Signing up from Hong Kong puts Changelly under a local rulebook, and it is not what the fee table alone tells you. Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) oversees retail crypto: centralised virtual asset trading platforms serving Hong Kong investors must be licensed by the SFC. SFC virtual asset trading platform (VATP) licence, granted under the Securities and Futures Ordinance for security tokens and the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance for non-security tokens; the SFC publishes a public list of formally licensed platform operators. How money actually reaches the order book here: Faster Payment System (FPS) — Hong Kong's real-time payment rail connecting banks and e-wallet operators, implemented by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and operated by Hong Kong Interbank Clearing Limited. FPS runs round the clock and supports payments in both the Hong Kong dollar and the renminbi; all banks and e-wallet operators in Hong Kong can participate. On tax treatment in this market: Hong Kong imposes no capital gains tax and no value-added or sales tax, so retail crypto disposal gains of a capital nature are not taxed; only business trading profits sourced in Hong Kong fall under profits tax. None of this market context changes the Changelly figures in the table above — it decides how you act on them.
