Changelly PRO is required to identify its users. This is carefully executed to prevent the use of fraudulent accounts, and to keep our customer base safe. The Changelly PRO risk management team verifies trading activities within the platform ensuring full compliance with international AML and KYC regulations.
We offer different levels of verification for your account – Starter, Trader, and Pro. As soon as you register with your email, you become a Starter and are allowed to start trading, however we urge you to reach the Trader status. Here is why.
