No. LBank is a legitimate exchange operating since 2015. Registered in the British Virgin Islands and claims registrations in several other jurisdictions; not licensed by FinCEN, any U.S. state, or a major national regulator, and not verifiable beyond its own statements.

Is LBank regulated in the United States?

LBank does not serve U.S. customers. Its user agreement excludes residents of the United States, it holds no U.S. license, and there is no separate U.S. entity. Anytime Capital is a FinCEN-registered U.S. money services business with a branch in Atlanta.

Does LBank hold my crypto?

Yes, until you withdraw it to your own wallet. Anytime Capital delivers to a wallet you control or to its free non-custodial wallet.

Can I switch from LBank to Anytime Capital without moving my crypto?

Yes. Withdraw from LBank to a wallet you control (or leave it there), create an Anytime Capital account, verify once, and paste any wallet address at checkout. Nothing you already hold needs to move.

How does Anytime Capital pricing compare with LBank?

Anytime Capital quotes one all-in number: card, Apple Pay and Google Pay orders start from 4% with the spread included, and the amount you pay and the crypto you receive are both on screen before you confirm. LBank prices third-party card purchases through partner processors at whatever rate the partner quotes, and none of them serve U.S. residents; LBank itself charges no card fee because it runs no card rail, with a per-coin network fee set by LBank, which reviewers note runs above the on-chain cost on some networks. Blockchain network fees apply at both. Compare the crypto that lands on the same order size rather than the headline rate.

Is Anytime Capital regulated?

Anytime Capital is a U.S.-based money services business registered with FinCEN, serving customers worldwide, with a physical branch in Atlanta and an office in Miami. Identity verification is required before you can transact, the same as at every compliant platform.
