If you want to compare exchange rates quickly and find the service that fits your needs and requirements, take a look at our smart calculator — the green rectangle on BestChange.biz’s homepage.

What exactly can it do, though?

Find the best rate in seconds

Enter the currency you want to exchange in the Selling field, or select it from the dropdown list. Repeat for the Buying field, and the calculator will instantly show you available offers arranged by profitability.
If you also enter the desired exchange amount, the calculator will highlight which services have sufficient reserves to complete your transaction.

Build complex exchange routes

Can’t find a direct exchange pair, or the available rates aren’t attractive enough?
Enable the Multistage exchange option using the button above the Selling field. The calculator will generate routes involving several transit currencies, allowing you to choose the most suitable option.

Apply precise filters

Click Filters in the upper-right corner of the calculator to set additional search requirements. For example, you can filter out manually processed exchanges or services without brick-and-mortar offices. Custom filters help narrow the results to offers that truly match your needs.

Save your Favorites

If you regularly exchange the same currency pair, you can save it for quick access. Enter the currencies into the calculator and click the heart icon in the lower-right corner. The pair will be added to Favorites in your personal account (prior registration is required). Next time, just open your account, select a currency pair from your Favorites, and the calculator will automatically fill in the fields and display matching offers.

Create exchange rate alerts

Click Alerts next to the Add to Favorites icon. A short form will be revealed, and you’ll be able to configure the currency pair, the desired exchange rate, the transaction amount, the alert expiration period, and the delivery method (email or Telegram). You’ll receive an alert as soon as a suitable offer appears, so there’s no need to monitor rates manually.

If you regularly compare exchange rates and look for reliable exchangers on your smartphone — whether you’re traveling, at work, or simply on the go — it helps to have quick, reliable access to the service. That’s exactly what the BestChange mobile app is designed for. Available in 175 countries, it brings all the key monitoring features into a convenient mobile format.

👩‍💻 Find the best rate in seconds

When you open the app, you’ll land on the Calculator screen. Enter the Currency you’d like to exchange in the Selling field, or select it from the list. Repeat for the Buying field — and the app will instantly display available offers, sorted by the most favorable rates.

You can also specify an amount to improve the accuracy of the search results. In this case, the app will indicate which exchangers have sufficient reserves to complete your transaction. Need additional criteria? Tap the green Filters button below the offers list to narrow results — for example, to find exchangers with a brick-and-mortar office.

👩‍💻 Dark mode for a more comfortable experience

Open the rightmost tab on the bottom navigation bar and go to Appearance. There, you can choose between a light or dark theme. Additionally, there is a System theme option that automatically matches your device settings. This makes it easy to use the app comfortably at any time of day.

👩‍💻 Favorites and Block list: only choose offers from your preferred services from the services you need

To keep the exchangers and currency pairs you prefer within easy reach, add them to Favorites, then tap the heart icon in the bottom navigation bar to access them.
If certain services don’t meet your requirements, you can add them to the Block list. The list of the exchangers you blocked will be kept in the All Exchangers section — the leftmost icon of the bottom navigation bar.

You can manage both lists directly from the search results. Simply swipe an offer to the left and tap one of the icons:

❤️ — add to Favorites
✋ — add to Block list

If you regularly exchange large sums, cold wallets can provide a higher level of security.

Freelancers often work with clients from different countries and receive payments in multiple currencies. That’s why choosing a digital wallet is not about finding a universal solution. You need to consider client geography, transaction and conversion fees, as well as how easily you can withdraw funds to a bank card or crypto wallet. Based on these different needs, we’ve put together this selection:

👩‍💻 PayPal — a widely used international wallet. Fees vary depending on country, transaction type, and currency conversion. For commercial payments, the standard fee is around 4–5%, plus additional currency conversion costs. Without a verified account, single transaction limits are capped at $4,000. After identity verification (an official document is required), limits can increase up to $60,000 per transaction.

👩‍💻 Payoneer — a popular option for freelancers and contractors working with platforms like Upwork and Fiverr. It supports direct payouts to Payoneer accounts and offers a commercial Mastercard. Withdrawal fees are approximately 1.5–3% depending on the region. Daily spending limits on the card are up to $5,000. Higher limits require identity verification.

👩‍💻 Skrill — supports global transactions and more than 40 cryptocurrencies. Currency conversion fees can reach up to 4%. Limits are set daily, weekly, or monthly depending on the deposit method. Full functionality requires identity verification.

👩‍💻 Neteller — commonly used as an international e-wallet for payments and withdrawals. Like Skrill, it supports more than 40 cryptocurrencies. Fees for deposits and withdrawals can reach up to 5% depending on the country, with limits ranging from $5,000 to $10,000.

👩‍💻 WebMoney — one of the oldest payment services, although it is not the go-to choice for clients from Western Europe or the USA. The fee is 0.8% for transfers between wallets of different types. The maximum balance for an unverified user is $300. To increase limits, identity verification is required, including passport submission and VideoID.

👩‍💻 Volet — convenient for working with cryptocurrency and multi-currency transfers. The service allows users to receive digital assets, convert them, and withdraw to fiat currencies via supported channels. Fees: 0.25% for crypto deposits and transfers; 0.25% to 4% for fiat withdrawals depending on the country. Monthly limit without identity verification is $1,000; higher limits require KYC verification.

👩‍💻 Capitalist — a payment system designed for freelancers, arbitrage teams, and businesses. It supports multiple major currencies, international payments (including SWIFT and SEPA), and cryptocurrencies. SWIFT and SEPA deposits are fee-free, while global transfers may cost up to 5%. Identity verification is mandatory and requires a national passport, international passport, ID card, or driver’s license.

We’ve recently introduced AML tags — special signs that help you assess the transparency of AML procedures of any exchange service listed on BestChange upfront, thereby reducing the risk of delays and additional checks.

Let’s make sure you know exactly where these tags are located, since their appearance and placement depend on how you search for the best rates and which version of the BestChange website you are using.

If you already know which currency pair you want to exchange:

Select the required currencies on the main page of either the new or the classic version of our monitoring platform to get a table of offers.

👩‍💻 On the new website — AML tags can be found in the far-right column, displayed as square icons in red, yellow, or green.

👩‍💻 On the classic website — to see the tag, you need to hover your mouse or tap the (i) icon to the left of any exchanger’s name. The tag will appear in the upper right corner of the pop-up window.

If you start by selecting an exchanger:

Go to the “Exchangers” page of either the new or the classic version of our monitoring platform.
👩‍💻 On the new website — the tag is located to the right of each exchanger’s name in the list.
👩‍💻 On the classic website — the same as in the offers list: hover your mouse or tap the (i) icon to the left of any exchanger’s name. The tag will appear in the upper right corner of the pop-up window.

If an exchanger does not have an AML tag, it means it does not support cryptocurrency operations.

In early April 2026, a user contacted our support team regarding an incorrect exchange rate recalculation. According to their complaint, the exchange service changed the USDT–XMR rate in its own favor AFTER the user had transferred the required sum, and the resulting deduction exceeded the actual market price movement significantly.

What BestChange did

Step 1. We requested data from the exchange service for verification:

• order logs and exchange rate change logs;
• transaction hashes;
• exchange rate lock conditions for the currency pair;
• information about the service fee;
• the source of the market exchange rate.

Step 2. We assessed the exchange rate change. During the review, two important facts were established:

1. The market rate at the moment the order was created was 357.36 USDT per 1 XMR, while the exchange service’s rate at the same time was 357.949 USDT.

This means the exchange service displayed a rate above market quotations, even though, under BestChange’s rules, the displayed rate should already include all costs associated with the upcoming exchange — including the exchange service fee, which for the XMR–USDT direction amounted to 0.4%.

2. Under the exchange service’s exchange rate lock conditions, 50 confirmations in the Monero network were required for the funds to be- credited. By the time the required number of confirmations had been received, the market rate had already changed to 354.47 USDT.

As a result, from the moment the order was created until the required number of confirmations was received, the market rate changed by 0.8%.

Step 3. We compared the actual market movement with the final recalculation applied to the order:

• 6801.03 USDT — the amount the user was expected to receive when creating the order;
• 6746.59 USDT — the correct amount taking into account the actual market movement;
• 6678.51 USDT — the amount the user actually received.

The discrepancy amounted to 68 USDT.

Step 4. We pointed out the inconsistency to the exchange service. After reviewing the verification results, the service paid the user the missing 68 USDT.

Step 5. We received confirmation from the user that the full amount, including the additional payment, had been received and stated that there were no further claims regarding the order.

Step 6. We took additional measures: retained information about the incident for further monitoring purposes. In addition, we explained to the service administration how exchange rates and rate-lock conditions should be displayed and applied correctly, after which we verified that the necessary corrections had been implemented. Finally, the service was warned that restrictive measures could be applied if similar situations occur again.

Bitcoin recovered after falling to its lowest level of the month over the weekend. On May 23, the leading cryptocurrency dropped to $74,200, its lowest level since April 20. As of May 25, Bitcoin is trading around $77,500, according to CoinMarketCap data. Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded net outflows over the past week, with investors withdrawing approximately $1.2 billion, according to SoSoValue.

France has emerged as the most dangerous country for cryptocurrency holders. According to journalist Joe Nakamoto, roughly 70% of all attacks targeting digital asset investors occur in France. He stated that the country has already recorded 41 crypto-related kidnappings this year alone. Nakamoto attributed the rise in such crimes largely to centralized data collection under KYC procedures: the personal information stored on centralized servers has repeatedly been compromised in cyberattacks.

Binance announced plans to expand hiring as it accelerates development of its artificial intelligence initiatives. Despite widespread layoffs across the technology sector, the company has opened approximately 380 vacancies, with around 20% of new hires in 2026 dedicated to AI-related development. Binance noted that technology firms cut more than 52,000 jobs globally in the first quarter of 2026 — a figure 40% higher than during the same period in 2025. Against this backdrop, the exchange said it had chosen not to replace employees with AI, but instead to integrate AI-driven tools into existing workflows.

On the evening of May 4, Pavel Durov announced that Telegram would replace ‘the TON Foundation as the driving force behind the blockchain’ and become ‘the network’s largest validator.’ Earlier, on April 30, crypto market participants noted the staking of a substantial amount of Toncoin — around 2.2 million coins — a move intended to support network operations and generate rewards for transaction validation.

The move marks the third of seven steps in the project’s Make TON Great Again roadmap. Earlier, the Catchain 2.0 upgrade made the network 10 times faster while reducing fees by 6x. For TON, this signals a shift toward becoming a global infrastructure built around Telegram.

Durov added that the next stage of ecosystem development would focus on achieving “tech superiority.”

Following the announcement, Toncoin rose by more than 25% in just 24 hours. According to CoinMarketCap, the token entered the top 20 most in-demand digital assets, with a market capitalization of around $4.9 billion.

For the first time since late January, Bitcoin has climbed above the $80,000 mark, supported by improving conditions in global markets. Asian equities, as measured by the MSCI index, recorded solid gains, while investors also remained focused on geopolitical developments surrounding the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. President Donald Trump previously stated that the United States would escort vessels not involved in the conflict. Iranian authorities, however, responded that any such intervention would be viewed as a breach of the ceasefire. As of today, Bitcoin has returned to negative territory and is trading at approximately $78,700, according to CoinMarketCap.

Investment analyst Lyn Alden argues that the global financial system is under mounting pressure due to the United States’ $39 trillion national debt. In her view, the system faces a stark choice between magic or death, with Bitcoin playing a critical role due to its distinction from traditional assets. Alden suggests that the record level of debt signals a gradual erosion of purchasing power for the middle class. She noted that Bitcoin was the key to breaking out of that closed loop, suggesting a potential rise above $150,000 in the longer term.

Since October of last year, the cryptocurrency sector has undergone a pronounced downturn. Overall market capitalization has declined, and trading activity has slowed. Although recent weeks have seen signs of modest recovery, the market remains well below previous peaks, indicating weakened momentum. Binance co-CEO Richard Teng highlighted the scale of potential growth in the sector. He pointed to a broad range of markets where cryptocurrencies could see wider adoption, noting that financial services alone represent a $36 trillion opportunity, while the global payments market is valued at approximately $788 billion.
