Referral terms vary by region and account state.

Changelly does not publish a single headline fee, so this page collects the terms it does publish and links every claim to its source (last checked July 31, 2026). Changelly accepts sign-ups from Kenya at the time of our last check. Verification rules are summarised below straight from the official help pages, so you know what the platform asks for before you commit an email address. The service has operated since 2015, which we treat as track record, not as an endorsement. Kenyan users most often fund via mobile money or P2P rails, which makes deposit-method support a bigger differentiator than the headline fee.
