FAQ

How do you choose which services to list?
Compliance first: the service must run proper KYC/AML checks. We then weigh supported countries, payout options, transparency and cost.
Do the fees include the exchange-rate spread?
Treat all listed fees as indicative and unverified. The real cost is the provider fee plus any exchange-rate margin — check both on the provider's site.
