What Mine.exchange is
Mine.exchange is a Russian-language exchanger for crypto, MoneyGo and bank cards in hryvnia, tenge, rupees and other currencies, also reachable through a Telegram bot. Its user agreement names the operator as 3-102-939015 Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada in San José, Costa Rica, and lets the service request a passport, card photos, card video verification and payment receipts "for any reason" related to the services, refusing and refunding within five banking days if they are not provided. Its AML/CTF and KYC policy speaks of mandatory identification of users allowed to transact, verification levels that depend on volume and number of operations, one-time card verification for each new card, refusal of residents of listed high-risk countries, and blocking of deposits from listed platforms. A confirmation email is sent on completion; the FAQ explains card verification.
