Final Checklist: Are You Ready to Sign Up or Not?

This is the moment to decide: proceed carefully or walk away.

Final Checklist: Are You Ready to Sign Up or Not?

You reached the final step. This page helps you make one clear decision: sign up, test carefully, or walk away. No hype. No pressure. Just a final crypto exchange safety checklist.

Reminder: There is no perfect exchange. The goal is to avoid dangerous ones and choose the safest option available to you.

The full checklist (1–25)

Go through each section honestly. Give 1 point for every check passed.

How to use: Mark each group only if you passed most checks in that section. Then add your total score at the end.

1–5: Legit company, regulation, and transparency Company identity, clear legal pages, trust signals you can verify 6–10: Security features and account protection 2FA, alerts, device control, login protection 11–15: Fees, spreads, and hidden costs Transparent fees, clear spreads, no surprise charges 16–20: Usability, support, and beginner experience Clear interface, real help center, support that responds 21–25: Withdrawals, wallet control, and exit safety Withdrawal rules, wallet control, safe exit test

Now write your total score (0–25) on paper or notes and use the table below.

Your final score (be honest)

20–25 Proceed carefully — looks reasonably safe.

14–19 Test only — small amounts, slow steps.

0–13 Walk away — risk is too high.

If your score is 20–25 (Proceed carefully)

1. Create the account
2. Enable all security options (2FA, alerts)
3. Deposit a small test amount
4. Buy a small amount of crypto
5. Test a withdrawal to your own wallet

Rule: Never skip the withdrawal test, even on a good exchange.

If your score is 14–19 (Test only)

1. Do not deposit money you cannot afford to lose
2. Avoid bonuses and promotions
3. Keep balances small
4. Re-check red flags regularly

If your score is 0–13 (Walk away)

• Do not sign up
• Do not send documents
• Do not send money just to test
• Choose another exchange and restart the checklist

Important: Walking away is a smart decision, not a missed opportunity.

The calm test (final question)

Ask yourself:
“If I needed to withdraw all my money tomorrow, would I feel calm?”

If the answer is no — the decision is already made.

What to do next

1. Pick the safest exchange from your list
2. Start slow and stay in control
3. Keep learning before increasing risk

FAQ: Final crypto exchange decision

Is this checklist enough to be 100% safe?

No checklist guarantees safety, but this one helps avoid the most common and dangerous mistakes.

Should I trust an exchange with a high score completely?

No. Always stay cautious, keep balances small, and test withdrawals regularly.

Why is testing withdrawals so important?

Because control over your money matters more than features, fees, or promises.

What if I feel unsure even after this checklist?

That feeling is information. Choose another exchange or wait until you feel calm and confident.
