Scammers

Scammers! Avoid them!!! I came back after a long time to app and the account is almost empty. They stole 20 euros each month. You should write a letter every month when the money has been taken!!!!!!!

Edit: I have received only one letter about the changes and it was 2024.01.17!!!! I have all letters.

Dear Renata,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for any frustration you've experienced regarding the passive account fee.

We have sent multiple emails about these fees, including on 18th August, 18th September, 5th October 2023 and 17th January 2024 (+ socials and website) - so it has been almost every month. It's important to note that the passive account fee can be easily avoided by staking at least one cryptoasset, making a trade within a 90 days period or simply making a deposit.

We remain committed to providing a properly licensed, audited, and secure investment experience, which comes with associated costs that cannot be overlooked. Our clients' trust means everything to us, and we're constantly working to improve our communication channels to better serve you.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,
Change

EDIT: Based on system data - 18. 8. 2023 - "We are updating Terms and Fees" - opened on 2023-08-18 at 14:54:07. 18. 9. 2023 - "Reminder about changes in our Terms of Service" - received, not opened. These two were the most important from our side, the rest of the communication was just our proactivity and openess. Please check your spam folder from time to time as some emails are automatically deleted after 30 days.

Dear Hana,

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologise for any frustration caused by the recent changes in our terms and conditions.

We would like to clarify that we contacted you 30 days in the advance (18. 8. 2023) and after these 30 days (18. 9. 2023) you received another at least 2 more reminders ([18. 8., 18. 9.], 5. 10. 2023 and also in native Czech language 17. 1. 2024 - not to mention that we also communicated these changes via our social media and website).

In emails from 18. 8. and 18. 9. you could find the following message: "We kindly request you to take time and review the updated Terms, which can be accessed here. The changes take effect today, 18th September 2023. By continuing to use our services, you are agreeing to the revised Terms." and later in the reminder also "We would like to kindly remind you that a Passive Account Maintenance Fee may soon be applied to your account. The fee is charged on the 19th calendar day of each month if you have been inactive 90 days prior to that." To be honest, we did our best.

We regret any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused. We take your feedback seriously and are actively working to improve our communication methods to ensure a more transparent experience for our users. If you didn't receive these emails, please contact us.

Kind regards,
Change

Dear Hakes,

We're sorry that you were not satisfied. We take our customer feedback seriously and would like to know more about your negative experience. As we have contacted you through Trustpilot and haven't heard back from you after 3 days and your review is up (which it shouldn't be), we would like to ask you here what the problem was. Your feedback will help us to improve. Thank you!

Concerns Regarding the Introduction of a Maintenance Fee

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the recent implementation of a €20 passive account maintenance fee. I understand from your comments on trustpilot that customers were informed about this new fee via email and through your social media channels. However, the reality is that the volume of services and corresponding updates that an individual is expected to track is overwhelming, making it impractical to stay informed of all terms and conditions changes.

If customer retention and satisfaction are truly priorities for your company, a more direct and personal notification method such as SMS or a dedicated email warning about the impending charge would have been appreciated. This would have allowed your customers the courtesy of taking necessary actions to avoid this fee.

I have personally recommended your services to many in my circle, and this situation has not only placed me in an uncomfortable position but has also led me to reconsider my choose of your company. I am now faced with a loss of trust from those I have referred, and I am contemplating withdrawing my association with your services altogether.

I understand that these are challenging times for businesses, but transparency and customer respect are crucial. An alternative approach could have been the introduction of optional plans with minimal fees, which customers could choose to opt into, rather than imposing a flat maintenance fee.

I feel misled by this action and would appreciate a more considered approach in the future.

Dear Petr,

We hear your frustration about the inactivity fees and the challenges of transferring altcoins to your wallet.

We are committed to providing a safe and secure investing experience, and there are costs associated with maintaining such standards. The passive account fee can be avoided by staking at least one cryptoasset or making a trade within a 90 days.

Looking ahead, our plans for 2024 include significant enhancements, including new withdrawal options. Thank you for your feedback; it helps shape our improvements.

Kind regards,

Horrible experience

Horrible experience, after the company starts selling your crypto assets on their own and taking 20EUR fee for themselves without your consent. I hardly believe this is a legal action, hopefully some regulatory authority will look into this as it seems straight up fraudulent.

Dear Ferda,

Thank you for your feedback.

We understand the importance of effective communication and we have sent emails about these fees to all of our customers on 18th August, 19th September, 5th October 2023 and 17th February 2024. We have also communicated via our website and Telegram.

We apologise for any confusion regarding the passive account fee. It's important to note that this fee can be easily avoided by staking at least one cryptoasset or making a trade of any size within 90 days. We feel the need for clearer communication on our end and are actively working to improve in this area - in 2024 we have hired a Czech person to help us with the language barrier.

From a legal perspective, we would like to emphasise our commitment to operate transparently and within the law. We assure you that we will cooperate 100% with any regulatory authorities to address and resolve any concerns.

We want to assure you of our commitment to providing a properly licensed, audited, and secure investment experience. The associated costs are essential to maintain the high standards required for your financial security.

Please feel free to contact us at support@changeinvest.com and we will be happy to verify whether or not you have received this communication. We want to make sure that you have access to the information you need to make informed decisions.

Dear Maarek,

Thanks for taking the time to give us feedback.

We don't really understand what do you mean by "taxes". Our active users have some of the best rates on the market today. If you mean passive account fee then It's important to note that this fee can be easily avoided by staking at least one cryptoasset or making a trade (buy or sell) of any size within 90 days. We don't really ask that much.

We want to assure you of our commitment to providing a properly licensed, audited, and secure investment service. While we strive to keep our services accessible, there are unavoidable costs associated with maintaining such high standards.

We value your opinion and are committed to continuous improvement. If there's anything else, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Pricing is better than most other apps I’ve used and customer support also faster. Overall very happy and will continue using.

As i’m staking crypto no passive account fee applies, easy hack around it while earning money too.

Dear DLB,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, we really appreciate it.

Firstly, we sincerely apologise if you missed our recent emails about these updates, sent on 18th August, 18th September, and 5th October 2023. Clear communication is essential and we regret any inconvenience this may have caused.

It's important to note that this fee can be easily avoided by staking at least one cryptoasset or making a trade of any size within 90 days. We are committed to providing a properly licensed, audited, and secure investment experience, but this high standard comes with costs and our app cannot be completely free. For our active users we offer some of the most competitive pricing on the market.

While we do our best to be as transparent as possible, we see that there is room for improvement. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us - support@changeinvest.com.

Inactivity fee unnotified

I was charged a €20 inactivity fee despite never receiving any email communication. I tried reaching out to support, but they keep stating it's not their fault if I didn't receive the email. I'm not the only one facing this treatment, and we've decided to close both the account and relationship with them. It's a truly shameful and borderline fraudulent attitude; users shouldn't bear the consequences of email delivery issues!

Dear Mateo,

We appreciate your openness, and we want to assure you that your feedback is important to us. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by the inactivity fee you have experienced.

Firstly, we understand your frustration and the importance of clear communication, and we regret any oversight that may have led to your dissatisfaction.

We would like to clarify that we sent emails regarding updates, including the inactivity fee, on the 18th August, 18th September, and 5th October 2023. If you can contact your email provider and provide us with real evidence, we will refund you in full, but the data from our system is crystal clear.

Regarding the inactivity fee, we would like to point out that it can be easily avoided by staking at least one cryptoasset or making a trade of any size over a period of 90 days. Our goal is to encourage engagement and ensure that our users have an active and rewarding experience with us.

We want to emphasise our commitment to providing a properly licensed, audited, and secure investment experience. While we understand that fees can be unwelcome, it's essential to maintain the high standards necessary for a secure platform. Please be assured that these fees are not arbitrary and are a result of the costs associated with ensuring the highest levels of security and compliance.

Thank you for your understanding, and we wish all you the best.

We're sorry to hear about your recent experience with the inactivity fee.

This is a scam

This is a scam! They sold my ADA at the cheapest rate ever! With no notification, no warning, anything!
I opened the app after some time to make an investment and what could I see I have been charged already 3 times 20eur. They just sold ADA to take fees. SO no I will never will be able to make returns on my investment... A complete scam! I believe this is an illegal action.. To charge a fee of 20€/month if your account is in what they call passive mode and sell your portfolio with no notice! Do not use Changeinvest!!!

Dear D3vil,

We hear you, we feel you, and we'd like to clarify a few points:

We regret any confusion regarding the passive account fees. It's important to note that these fees can be easily avoided by staking at least one cryptoasset or making a trade of any size within 90 days. In addition, we have communicated these changes via email on three separate occasions (18th August, 18th September, and 5th October 2023 + Telegram and our websites) to ensure that our clients are informed well in advance.

We pride ourselves on providing a properly licensed, audited, and secure investment experience. However, it's important to recognise that maintaining these high standards comes at a cost that that cannot be fully absorbed as a free service. This commitment is essential to protect your investment and ensure a trustworthy platform. For our active users, we continue to offer some of the most competitive prices in the market.

Thank you for your feedback and understanding.

Best regards,

With regard to the passive fee, we would like to emphasise our commitment to providing a properly licensed, audited, and safe investment service. There are significant costs involved in maintaining this and whilst we strive to offer competitive services, it's important to acknowledge that certain fees are necessary to support the security and compliance measures we have put in place. For our active users we continue to offer still some of the most competitive prices in the market.

Your feedback is vital in helping us to improve our services, thank you.

Dear Ondřej,

Thank you for your feedback.

We would like to emphasise our commitment to providing a properly licensed, audited, and secure investment service. This commitment comes at a cost and unfortunately, we cannot offer our services completely for free. We strive to be transparent about our fee structure to ensure that users are informed. We understand that you may be frustrated by the monthly fee. It's important to note that the passive account fee can be easily avoided by either staking at least one cryptoasset or making a trade of any size within 90 days.

Regarding your statement about "an additional 20 EUR fee on the last transaction", we would like to clarify that this information is not correct. We do not charge an additional 20 EUR on any transaction, so we are not sure if you were not charged a high gas fee on the withdrawal, which is very common these days and beyond our control.

We understand the importance of financial security and are committed to providing a strong and reliable platform for our users. If you have any further questions, please contact our support team, and we'll be more than happy to assist you - support@changeinvest.com.

Thank you for your understanding.
