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 August 31, 2026). Changelly does not currently accept customers from United States according to its published terms, so this page is informational for United States 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. The United States is the strictest major market: several offshore venues do not accept US persons at all, so availability is the first thing to check before comparing fees.

Using Changelly from United States
Signing up from United States puts Changelly under a local rulebook, and it is not what the fee table alone tells you. FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, US Treasury) is the federal AML regulator; its guidance classifies virtual-currency exchangers as money transmitters, alongside state money-transmitter regulators. Federal baseline is FinCEN Money Services Business (MSB) registration via FinCEN Form 107, renewed every two years; exchanges additionally need state money transmitter licences. How money actually reaches the order book here: ACH bank transfer is the dominant deposit rail; the ACH Network connects essentially all US bank accounts and is operated by the Federal Reserve's FedACH and The Clearing House's EPN. Instant interbank payments are available via the Federal Reserve's FedNow Service, live since July 20, 2023, settling in near real-time at any time of day. On tax treatment in this market: The IRS treats digital assets as property, not currency; disposals of investment holdings are taxed as capital gains or losses, and all digital-asset transactions must be reported. None of this market context changes the Changelly figures in the table above — it decides how you act on them.
