How to check an exchanger's license in a minute

  1. Find the full legal entity name and BIN on the exchanger's website, usually in the footer or the user agreement.
  2. Open the registry of licensed operators on Cryptokurs or on the National Bank of Kazakhstan website.
  3. Compare the name, BIN and license number. If anything differs or the company is missing, it is not a licensed exchanger.

Signs of an illegal exchanger

  • no BIN, license number or legal address;
  • payment is requested to a private person's card;
  • no verification, or an offer to bypass it;
  • a rate far better than every licensed exchanger;
  • a website that copies a known brand with a domain one letter off.

What a license gives the customer

A licensed operator must identify customers, keep transaction records and work through bank accounts. For you that means a clear agreement, receipts for the tax office and a legal entity you can hold accountable.
