Crypto

Digital assets are volatile. Custody failures, security incidents and a complete loss of funds are possible.

What the service is and is not

MEXC is a crypto exchange or broker; this review is not investment advice and does not establish account eligibility.

Who it suits

Who it suits

  • Suits people who want to buy crypto by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay without an exchange service fee
  • Suits futures traders who want 0% maker and 0.02% taker at the base tier

Who it suits less

  • Less suited to people who do not want Advanced KYC: every fiat purchase requires advanced verification

Before you choose

Before opening an account, check the servicing legal entity, account type and costs for your plan.
