Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to trade on Mt Pelerin?+
Taker fees run 0% to 1.3% on the exchange, a band that covers cheaper dealing on smaller orders. For comparison, the median taker fee across buy-crypto brands is 0.25%, so the range sits in the middle of the pack rather than at either extreme.
What do transfers cost?+
Exchange trading runs 0% to 1.3% in taker fees, while transfers follow a separate rule: receiving costs nothing, sending is billed the on-chain network fee the user pays, and SWIFT fees from banks apply to transfers outside Switzerland and the SEPA zone.
How can I fund the account?+
Fiat deposits run through card, bank and sepa, covering card, bank transfer, SEPA and a mobile wallet route, so a Swiss or European buyer can fund the account from the app. Across buy-crypto brands, 31% accept SEPA transfers.
Who holds the coins?+
The mobile wallet is set up for self custody, meaning the keys stay with the user, and recovery rests on a seed phrase. Among buy-crypto brands, 13.8% work this way, so self-custody here is the less common route.
Is Mt Pelerin regulated?+
The operator is Mt Pelerin Group Ltd, registered in Switzerland, and it belongs to SO FIT (self regulatory organisation recognised by FINMA), a self-regulatory organisation recognised by FINMA. Membership gives the firm a Swiss supervisory framework for its trading business, and 355 of the brands compared carry a licence.
How many coins are listed?+
The exchange lists from 30 coins and the wallet supports from 30. For context, the median across buy-crypto brands is 60, so the selection is compact rather than exhaustive and a long tail of obscure tokens belongs on a larger exchange.
How do I get help?+
Support runs on email, help centre and community only: email, a help centre and a community channel. Help centres are common, with 91.6% of buy-crypto brands offering one, but anyone needing live chat or a phone line has to rely on email.
How established is the company?+
Mt Pelerin has run as a cex since 2018, and the legal entity behind it is Mt Pelerin Group Ltd. The exchange model puts the order book on the provider's side of the deal, while the mobile wallet keeps the keys with the user.
