Ferma

Ferma is a crypto exchanger that has been operating since 2017 and focuses on swapping cryptocurrencies. The service runs AML checks on transactions and may require customer verification (KYC).

How exchanges work

The user picks a pair, sends the coins and receives the chosen cryptocurrency at the service's rate. There is no separate fee: it is built into the rate, so the final amount is visible as soon as the order is created.

Security and checks

• AML screening — incoming funds are checked for links to suspicious addresses.
• KYC — the service may ask the customer to verify their identity.

For users, this means large or unusual transactions may be held until checks are complete, but the risk of receiving tainted coins is lower.

Affiliate program

Ferma pays partners 0.5 to 0.9%. The rate applies to transactions by referred users, which is of interest to rate monitors, crypto channels and websites.

Who it suits

People who regularly swap one cryptocurrency for another and value a service with a long track record and transparent pricing. For partners, it is a way to monetise a crypto audience.
