Verdict
MoonPay requires KYC verification before you can trade and doesn't have a verified fee figure in our data yet. We don't yet have enough verified data (49% of criteria) to publish a CompareCEX Score for it, so treat this page as a starting point rather than a final verdict. As a custodial platform, it holds your funds until you withdraw, so its security track record and regulation below matter as much as its fees. Check the fee table, KYC and country availability, and security sections below before you decide — exchange terms change without notice and we re-verify data periodically rather than in real time, so always confirm against the source links.
