Changelly provides fast exchanges between Bitcoin, Monero, fiat, and 1000+ altcoins. The service may require identity verification during AML/risk checks and currently scores poorly on privacy and trust.

Key points:
- Supports BTC, XMR, fiat, and 1000+ altcoins.
- Contact: support@changelly.com
- Overall score: 2/10 (Very poor). Privacy: 14/100 (Very bad). Trust: 22/100 (Bad). Level: 3/4 https://kycnot.me/service/changelly
- “Shotgun KYC”: Automated AML flags can freeze transactions and trigger a Customer Identification Procedure requiring ID, a selfie, and source-of-funds (SumSub) verification.
- The service may request KYC, SoF, or other identity checks at any time, including before refunding flagged deposits.
- Deposits are scanned against blacklists; flagged transactions may be frozen, seized, or require extended verification.
- The provider can suspend or terminate access at its discretion. Personal/account data may be shared with authorities or third parties for compliance.
- Users report slow processing times and difficult refund/resolution paths.
- Evidence of abnormal operation or exit-scam indicators should be treated as a serious warning.
Note to the community from Trêvoid
Avoid using Changelly for privacy-sensitive transactions or large amounts; if you must use it, test with small amounts and be prepared to complete KYC and provide source-of-funds documentation.Best regards,
