Why Exchange With Alea
- 01
Regulated, Not Just Registered
Alea Group AG is a Swiss financial intermediary under AMLA, affiliated with SO-FIT — the same regulatory framework that governs our payment infrastructure. Exchange isn't a side project; it runs under the same oversight.
- 02
Nothing Sits With Us
Every completed order settles directly to the wallet address you provide. We don't pool client assets, and we don't hold a balance on your behalf between transactions.
- 03
Screened Before It Settles
Destination wallet addresses are checked against blockchain analytics before any transfer completes — a control most retail-facing exchanges skip.
- 04
One-Time Verification
Identity confirmation happens once. After that, placing an order is the whole process — no repeated document uploads.
Non-custodial exchange, fiat-to-crypto only. Every transaction settles directly to the client's own external wallet — Alea does not hold client digital assets at any point.
A one-time identity check is required before your first transaction, in line with Swiss AML requirements. Details are set out in our KYC Policy.
FAQ
Short answers to what people ask first.
Do I need to verify my identity every time I place an order?
No — verification happens once, before your first transaction.
Can I send assets to someone else's wallet?
No. Exchange is for converting your own funds into assets delivered to your own wallet only.
What happens if I enter the wrong wallet address?
Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Alea cannot recover or reverse a transfer sent to an incorrect address — double-check your address before confirming.
Who can use Exchange?
Individual retail clients, verified under Swiss AML requirements. Exchange is not available to businesses or legal entities.
