Changelly PRO is required to identify its users. We do this to help prevent the use of fraudulent accounts, and to also 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.
Benefits of upgrading an account to TRADER status

3. Streamlined service
Becoming verified as a user gives you better access to Changelly PRO’s full suite of services, be it; security, customer care and gives you peace of mind that everything is under control.
