Legal Action
July 15, 2023

I attempted to swap 1 BTC to XRP. After 24 hours and 27 bitcoin confirmations, the swap still had not been done. Another day later, and I still have neither my BTC or XRP. I was told this would be dealt with the same day. Considering legal action against this bad practice company.

REFUSE KYC AND LOSE YOUR COIN
March 30, 2023

Since when did Changelly require KYC?!? This is new and it is NOT heavily apparent at all. Then, once the transaction is executed one HAS to provide KYC in order to get the coin back whether as initiated or even as a refund. Legitimate exchanges will refund the coin back to the sender's address if KYC is refused but Changelly will keep it and "hold" it as ransom for one's private information. BUYER BEWARE.

EDIT:
Been nearly a year and Changelly still refuses to release my funds. Even with KYC, they want more and more information, an endless game. I asked for them to simply return the XMR back to the original wallet but they refuse.

Used Changelly since a while to DCA.
Always swapped cryptos, never used FIAT or credit card.

Today for a swap around 100$ of BTC, they wanted KYC. And as i'm refusing a KYC for a crypto swap, they just keep my BTC and don't cancel the transaction...

Crypto Customers, be warned.

Stay away from Changelly because if you submit a transaction that requires KYC verification and you opt-out of the KYC process, they will not refund the crypto you sent them, and it will be forfeited to them.
I submitted an ALGO-to-XMR swap on March 24,2022 that triggered Changelly's KYC process. I told Changelly that I did not want to complete the KYC process and asked them to refund me my ALGO. They told me that they couldn't refund the ALGO because they had already swapped it into XMR, and that I would need to complete the KYC process for them to release the XMR. Since I had no intention of completing the KYC process, I presented an alternate solution to Changelly. I asked them to swap the XMR back into ALGO at the prevailing market rate and to send the ALGO less any fees to the initiating ALGO address. Their security team refused to do this, and said that I needed to complete the KYC process for a refund.

DO NOT USE CHANGELLY, especially if you do not intend to complete their KYC process as they will not refund your crypto.

About transactions
October 27, 2021

Thing I can praise is the amazing quickness with which transactions are completed, I've made a few and they've all turned out perfectly, yes, you have to pay for them in terms of costs, but they are well worth it in my opinion!

My Changelly experience
October 20, 2021

I have never had a single big issue with Changelly since my first purchase. The changes were made quickly (only one took more than 15 minutes to proceed). They constantly add new currencies to the list, and it's a great way to learn about different altcoins, therefore I highly recommend it to anybody seeking for a new crypto trading site.

Four Months ago
Four Months ago, I deposited 2K Matic from Matic Mainnet but changlly doesn't support Matic Mainnet. They support ERC20 Matic. I didn't know that made a transaction.
So now I am helplessly begging for my founds from Changlly for continues more then four months. Their funny replys, they don't support Matic Mainnet so they are unable to excess my funds, They will return it once they will start supporting Matic but not guaranteed.
There was not any notice or anything during my transactions that can prevent me from doing that transaction.
I did little research on Matic both networks and found that You can send or receive Matic from any Network and you won't loss a single penny, Changlly is special dictates its own rules on costumers. I am still waiting in the dark but no help at all from Changlly.

Awesome crypto exchange! But you can't swap crypto for US dollars, only for another crypto. You can buy crypto for us dollar through Changelly. Crypto fees are reasonable, support works fast. I consider Changelly as the safest crypto exchange since they don't hold users' funds. Liked the UX.

I hardly ever write reviews but this company left a bad taste in my mouth. They changed up the terms in the middle of the transaction, and I didn't feel comfortable so when I tried to back out they insisted that I still cover the network. Even though, I reverified everything before sending them the money, everything changed within a 30 minute window and that's not cool. The network fee was tiny and they refused to refund it, thank god I didn't send a larger amount. Stay away from them

I've been using Changelly for 3 years and I had an issue with a transaction only once. But the support reacted right away and I've got feedback from the support lady within like 20 min. Changelly is the biggest crypto exchange for instant swaps which provides deep liquidity (it's important for the crypto exchange market). Thanks guys! You're the best.

Still waiting...
May 19, 2021
Updated review

I am still waiting on my refund and Changelly closed out my ticket. My ticket should remain open until my refund is issued. That is when my case will be resolved and then could be closed. It has now been 10 days. I will update when I actually get my money back. I do think it is ridiculous that it is taking this long considering the fact that sending the bnb was a quick and immediate action.

Changelly stole my money
May 13, 2021
Previous review

I have been trying to get my money back for three days. I did a transaction with Changelly to exchange bnb to eth and I did make the mistake of sending slightly less than was asked because a fee was taken, literally a few cents short. I even sent the small additional amount of bnb in a second transaction. Changelly claims they didn't receive my bnb but they are lying. I have proof and I sent it to them. A transaction can be tracked and it clearly shows bnb from my wallet to them. I just want my money back. I don't even care if they keep the small additional amount I sent in a second transaction. I am out over $800 because of Changelly and that could have been more by now. They stopped answering me once I sent all the proof. Sad to say I think this service at the very least doesn't know how to handle refunds and they may possibly be scamming people. If my money is returned I will gladly update my review. But for now I would say, do not use this service!
