Changelly review

The minimum deposit is $5, which sits below the site median of €8.77. It is a low barrier for a first purchase, and the accepted coins btc, eth and usdt cover holdings most accounts already keep.

Funding runs on credit card and debit card. That is a narrower set than several rivals, so anyone wanting to pay from a cryptocurrency wallet or a mobile pay option has less choice here than on a brand built around those routes.

The identity check policy is threshold based (threshold), so checks apply once a purchase crosses a set level rather than at the first small transaction. Expect verification before larger buys and have documents ready.

The accepted coins are btc, eth and usdt, which covers the common holdings for most accounts. Coins outside that list are not offered, so anyone holding other assets would look elsewhere for support.

Support runs on chat, email and help centre. There is no phone line in that set, so urgent account questions would go through chat or by email, while the help centre covers general queries. Only a small share of the brands in this group list a phone number.

A mobile app is part of the feature set (mobile app), which suits players who want to manage the account away from a desktop. It suits short top-up sessions rather than long sittings at a computer.

The legal entity behind the service is Marella (Marella), and the operation dates back to 2015. That length of trading is worth weighing when you come across an unfamiliar brand in this group.

Changelly suits adults who want a modest first deposit of $5 and already hold the coins it accepts. It suits you less if you need wallet funding, a phone support line, or a wider coin range, since credit card and debit card and the accepted coin list are both narrow.
