How long will my order take?

In most cases, unless there is a payment problem, your buy order will be delivered within a few minutes. Sell orders are confirmed and processed immediately, then your money may take up to 2 business days to reach your bank account, due to the way banks operate. If your order hasn’t arrived after 2 working days, please contact us and we’ll be happy to look into it.


Where is my crypto held?

The crypto is sent to an address that provided during the order process.


How secure is your platform? Are there any risks?

We take security very seriously and you should too! We take every precaution possible to ensure that your funds and crypto are secure. We strongly recommend that you keep your antivirus software up to date, run it regularly, set up strong passwords and activate 2FA.

We’ve included some info on security risks in our Risks document, please check it out and stay informed.


What are your fees?

Easy Crypto’s rates are inclusive of all costs. With us, what you see is what you get. All fees related to your order are transparent when buying or selling, before you commit to finalising it.


Can I get a discount on my Easy Crypto fee?

Why yes you can! We add a discount depending on how much you have spent with us. You’ll get your first discount of 5% off the fee automatically applied at $1,000, the second discount of 10% at $10,000 and then 20% at $100,000.


What’s included in your crypto prices?

Our prices are quoted inclusive of all our fees. This includes foreign currency exchange and withdrawal fees, everything! Network fees are charged by the network for confirming the transaction and in most cases are not included.


Why are your prices higher than I’ve seen elsewhere?

There are two reasons for this. The first is because we show real buy and sell prices, while many others commonly show the spot price, which is the middle point between buy and sell, this isn't a real price that can be used for buying or selling. Spot price is better thought of as a reference point to show how markets are moving.

Secondly - our prices are inclusive of all our fees so there are no surprises.Other crypto retailers add their fees at the end.


What are network fees?

Network fees are charged to validate transactions when a crypto transaction is sent over the blockchain. This is an external fee which varies in amount depending on what crypto is purchased.

This is not charged by Easy Crypto but may make up part of your transaction.


What are your buy and sell minimums and maximums?

Minimums

Currently NZD $50 for buying and NZD $50 for selling.

Minimums are subject to change and may fluctuate depending on network demand and costs.

Maximums

The maximum order through our website is $500,000. Larger orders can be done "OTC" - see below.


Do you offer Over The Counter (OTC) trades?

Yes we do! If you’re looking to trade a significant amount, we may be able to offer you better rates.

Please contact us and let us know what you need and we can get this sorted for you.


What are your buy & sell limits?

Buy limits
