Who it suits

  • Residents of TR funding the account from a local bank account.
  • Holders who want staking on the same custodial balance.
  • Traders who want a long coin list and can live with the 0.28% taker fee.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Not for the cheapest trading, since ActivTrades takes a taker fee of 0%.
  • Not for the longest coin list, since Bitpanda lists from 650 against 229 here.
  • Not for the lowest starting costs, since bunq runs fees 0.25% to 1.99%.

How it compares on our data

On our data Paribu sits at 60 of 172 brands for coins listed, so the range is broad though the longest lists sit elsewhere. Trading costs push it further down the table at 77 of 118 brands on taker fee. Plenty of assets, a steeper price per trade.

The company behind it

The company behind the account is Paribu Kripto Varlik Alim Satim Platformu A.S., registered in Turkey and trading since 2017. Support is the practical strength, with email, chat and phone all listed, so questions can go to a person as well as a help centre.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to trade on Paribu?+

Paribu charges 0.12% when an order adds liquidity to the book and 0.28% when it removes it. Most regular buying takes the taker side, and that rate is what to budget around. Limit orders at the maker rate are the cheaper way in.

Who holds the coins on the account?+

Paribu is custodial, so Paribu Kripto Varlik Alim Satim Platformu A.S. holds the balance rather than a wallet you control. That suits beginners and phone users because there is no key management to learn, but the coins stay with the operator and moving them elsewhere is a separate step.

How is the account funded?+

Deposits go by bank transfer, which is the only fiat method listed. That suits people banking locally, and anyone used to paying by card should look elsewhere. The exchange is aimed at the TR market.

How many coins can I buy?+

Paribu lists 229 coins, which sits above the median of 60 for this kind of site. Enough for the majors and a long tail of smaller assets, though not the longest range available.

Can I earn on coins I hold?+

Staking is included in the listed features, custodial and staking, so coins left on the account can be put to work. It runs on the custodial balance, which means no second wallet, no seed phrase and no separate validator to manage.

What support is available?+

Support runs on email, chat and phone. That means phone and chat are available, not just email, plus a help centre and a community space. For a locally focused exchange the written and spoken routes together are a reasonable safety net for account questions.

Who is Paribu suited to?+

Paribu is a Turkish exchange, registered in Turkey and operating since 2017. It fits local buyers who want to fund the account by bank transfer, hold on a custodial account and reach support by phone. The deposit route is the part most likely to rule out buyers elsewhere.

How does the fee compare with the alternatives?+

The taker fee here is 0.28% against a site median of 0.2%. ActivTrades charges 0% as a taker fee, and bunq runs 0.25% to 1.99%. For frequent trading the gap between these rates matters more than the coin list.
