Referral terms vary by region and account state.

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 July 11, 2026). Changelly accepts sign-ups from South Africa at the time of our last check. 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. South African users usually have full access to global venues, with ZAR funding via local card or EFT rails where supported.

The table below is the public entry-tier snapshot for Changelly: published fees, verification rules, and account terms, each linked to the official page it was read from and dated July 11, 2026. Logged-in tiers, promotions, and regional product lines can differ from the public schedule, so treat these numbers as the starting point for South Africa and confirm inside the account before moving size.
