Guardarian offers quoted purchases, sales and crypto swaps through a website and partner integrations, with separate business and OTC routes. Its customer journey is built around a particular exchange and destination rather than a standing retail order book. The service can be used without opening a conventional trading account, while identity checks and transaction records still apply.[1][11]
The contracting structure changed materially around the current review period. Published July 2026 notices describe transfers of customer relationships to FinSeven CZ in the Czech Republic and GRNTech Solution in Canada. The present website terms say EU/EEA crypto services are supplied through licensed third parties. This profile therefore distinguishes the Guardarian interface, the named operating companies and the provider allocated to an actual order.[13][12][2]
Retail exchange, business conversion and OTC
Sections ↑Guardarian service configurations
| Service | How it is presented | Scope to retain |
|---|---|---|
| Retail buy and sell | Fiat-to-crypto purchases and crypto-to-fiat sales through a quoted exchange flow. | The asset, network, payment method and destination are selected for the individual transaction.Source 1 |
| Crypto swaps | Exchange between supported crypto assets. | A supported ticker does not imply every network or pair is available in every jurisdiction.Source 1 |
| Business exchange | Separate partner dashboard, onboarding and invoicing. | The business page advertises over 30 cryptocurrencies and more than 400 business clients, as company claims.Source 23 |
| G-OTC | A request-and-offer process for larger individuals, businesses and institutional clients. | Rates and limits are arranged with a manager; a numerical minimum is not published on the reviewed page.Source 24 |
| G-Custody | A separate business product advertised for holding, converting and managing assets. | The ordinary non-custodial exchange description does not define this product’s asset ownership or insolvency treatment.Source 25 |
Guardarian’s retail site advertises more than 1,000 cryptocurrencies, whereas its business-exchange page describes a smaller catalogue. These are product-range statements, not comparable measures of trading activity. The reviewed material does not provide an independently verified active-trader count or exchange turnover from which to rank it against the largest centralised venues. A business client should identify the relevant product catalogue before treating the retail total as its own dealing universe.[1][23]
The G-OTC page explains the operating sequence as requesting access, receiving offers and then creating the transaction. It describes personal management and preferential large-transaction terms. It does not publish an order book, fixed spread, execution-size guarantee or uniform institutional tariff. Accordingly, its commercial details belong in the actual offer rather than in a fabricated maker/taker table.[24]
Quoted costs, variable rates and business charges
Sections ↑Cost information by transaction stage
| Item | Published information | Meaning for comparison |
|---|---|---|
| Retail calculator | Fees depend on the payment method and are included in the displayed estimate. | The page’s no-extra-fee statement concerns Guardarian’s estimate, not every external bank charge.Source 4 |
| Exchange-rate movement | The estimate is calculated when displayed; receipt and confirmation of payment take time. | The final crypto amount can change with market conditions.Source 5 |
| Business conversion | The business calculator says exchange costs are included in its rate. | Compare the net amount received for the same amount and payment route.Source 23 |
| OTC quote | Tailored rates and larger limits are marketed. | No public flat commission or guaranteed spread was established.Source 24 |
| B2B refund commission | The B2B terms publish €5 or equivalent, plus bank fees or the crypto network fee. | This is a B2B refund provision, not a universal retail trade fee.Source 2 |
An inclusive estimate and a fixed exchange rate are different promises. The fee guide can say that charges are already included while the rate guide allows the crypto output to move before execution. A useful record therefore includes the calculator estimate, payment time and final settlement quantity. Without those timestamps and amounts, a difference can be wrongly attributed entirely to a hidden fee or entirely to market movement.[4][5]
For a business transaction, the published default size and the individually agreed quote also answer different questions. The permitted size determines whether the order can be accepted; the quote determines what it buys or sells for. A large permitted maximum is not evidence that the displayed small-order exchange rate applies unchanged to that maximum.[9][23]
Payment methods, limits and refund routes
Sections ↑Retail funding and published limits
| Item | Published reference | Qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Bank payments | SEPA and SEPA Instant for euro exchanges. | The current transaction must offer the method; euro settlement is distinct from the card currency list.Source 6Source 7 |
| Cards and wallets | Visa/Mastercard, Revolut Pay, Google Pay and Apple Pay are listed. | The support article specifies Safari for its Apple Pay route.Source 6 |
| Fiat currencies | The May 2026 guide says more than 30, including USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD and BRL. | Its SEPA row is EUR; card and payment-wallet coverage is broader.Source 7 |
| Detailed retail limits page | €15–€12,000 daily for buys, sells and swaps; €50,000 monthly headline. | The monthly footnote ties an increase to source-of-funds information and bank-payment routes.Source 8 |
| Homepage limit claim | €15–€50,000 daily and €50,000 monthly. | This conflicts with the detailed help-page daily ceiling. It is not treated as a universally available allowance.Source 1Source 8 |
| Business default | €250,000 per exchange in the business help article. | Further volume is subject to adequate source-of-funds and source-of-wealth evidence.Source 9 |
The public daily-limit discrepancy is material for someone planning a transfer. The smaller help-page number should not silently be replaced by the larger homepage number, and the monthly footnote does not clearly publish a lower unverified baseline. The applicable order limit and verification status therefore remain necessary transaction-specific information. Sending a larger amount first would not settle that uncertainty.[1][8]
Retail funding must originate from the customer’s own personal card or payment account, according to the customer-support article. That rule should not be applied indiscriminately to the separately onboarded business product, which has its own corporate process. An employee’s personal checkout and a company’s treasury transaction are different customer relationships even when the commercial purpose looks similar.[21][23]
Cancellation, refunds and delayed delivery
| Situation | Documented handling | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
| Request to cancel | The cancellation guide says cancellation is unavailable once funds arrive in the bank account. | A completed exchange or blockchain delivery is not a cancellable pending order.Source 16Source 14 |
| Refund timing | Help material describes a typical one to three business days. | The terms allow up to ten business days for bank crediting; the shorter period is not a guarantee.Source 15Source 2 |
| Sending phase | Usually described as minutes; the guide allows up to an hour before escalation. | Network congestion can extend the process.Source 18 |
| Wrong destination | Recovery of funds sent to the wrong address is described as unlikely. | Address correctness must be resolved before the transfer.Source 17 |
| Unsuccessful crypto-to-fiat order | Current terms normally return crypto to its original wallet; a different address requires live verification. | Shared exchange hot wallets can make the return-address issue consequential.Source 2 |
The refund wording also distinguishes a failed exchange from a compliance hold. A suspicion review can delay release of assets, and the current terms allow network costs to reduce a crypto refund. For a bank refund, an issued refund and the receiving bank’s credit are separate events. The transaction reference, original funding evidence and refund reference are therefore more useful for escalation than the homepage’s normal transaction-speed claim.[2][15][19]
Ordinary wallet delivery and the separate custody proposition
Sections ↑The standard exchange service is presented as non-custodial and delivers the purchased asset to a destination wallet. That reduces the need to leave an ongoing trading balance in the exchange interface, but the payment and transfer still have to complete. Non-custodial delivery does not mean a transaction cannot be held for verification, sent to the wrong address or delayed in a network.[3][17][18][27]
G-Custody advertises cold storage, transfers and asset management through a business API. Its public product page does not establish the detailed custody agreement, named subcustodian, segregation treatment, client claims on insolvency or a quantified insurance policy. Those questions cannot be answered by importing the ordinary checkout’s non-custodial description. The service is therefore discussed as a separate business proposition, outside the detailed consumer conversion scope of this profile.[25]
Guardarian’s account-free wording concerns the purchase interface rather than anonymity. The optional Personal Cabinet authenticates through the email used on earlier orders and displays transaction history. The verification process separately uses identity information and liveness checks. Those credentials need continued access if an order is disputed or a later record is required.[11][20]
Verification, regional availability and provider changes
Sections ↑Eligibility and identity checks
| Area | Published approach | Practical consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | Email code, acceptable identity document and a liveness/selfie step. | Accepted documents depend on the selected region, and camera access can be needed.Source 20 |
| Reused verification | Guardarian announced support for Sumsub KYC reuse in September 2025. | A prior check may reduce repeated document handling; it is not an exemption from current eligibility controls.Source 28 |
| Countries | The September 2026 help list names supported countries across several regions. | A country on this list is a platform availability statement, not independent proof of local licensing.Source 10 |
| EU/EEA | The current website terms assign crypto services to licensed third parties. | The transaction-specific provider and its conditions have to be identified.Source 2 |
| US fiat processing | The terms name Bridge Building Inc. for certain US onboarding and fiat settlement services. | The division between fiat processing and access to crypto exchange is explicit; this profile did not independently inspect the partner’s licence entries.Source 2 |
Guardarian’s AML policy describes customer checks, ongoing monitoring, risk assessment and sanctions screening. Those controls can affect an existing customer as well as a first purchase. Prior successful use is not a promise that a new payment, larger amount or different wallet will clear automatically. Business source-of-funds and source-of-wealth information serves a different purpose from merely demonstrating that a payment card works.[27][9]
Transaction tracking, records and official contacts
Sections ↑Official Guardarian contact routes
Scope Submit a transaction issue through the official help centre.
Scope Data-controller changes, privacy rights and related compliance questions.
Scope Business, listing, marketing and legal contact categories.
A transaction URL is supplied during the exchange so the customer can follow progress and identify the next step. The sending-phase guide advises contacting support if processing continues beyond an hour. A support enquiry should identify the transaction number and current stage, rather than submitting a new payment in an attempt to make the first one complete. No published telephone dealing facility or guaranteed outage response time was established in the reviewed contact material.[19][18][3]
Personal Cabinet gives retail customers access to past order details using the same email address. Business clients have a separate partner cabinet containing invoices and exchange history. This distinction matters for reconciliation: an accounting team should use the company’s business record, while an individual order belongs to the email identity used for that purchase. Neither record is, by itself, a complete tax result for assets subsequently moved or sold elsewhere.[11][22]
Registration claims and the EU third-party boundary
Sections ↑What the published legal material establishes
| Entity or claim | Evidence available | Qualification |
|---|---|---|
| FinSeven CZ s.r.o. | The website identifies Czech company code 22304681 and a Prague address. | Company registration is not a finding of MiCA permission.Source 3 |
| GRNTech Solution Inc. | The website identifies Ontario company number 1001145678 and claims FINTRAC MSB number C10001703. | This is an attributed operator disclosure; a current independent register match was not established in this profile.Source 3 |
| EU/EEA service model | Crypto services are described as third-party licensed-provider services. | A general Guardarian marketing reference to EU regulation cannot replace the allocated provider’s exact permission.Source 2 |
| G-Custody protection | The product page uses security and regulated-service language. | No customer insurance amount, beneficiary definition or insolvency guarantee is verified by that wording.Source 25 |
The practical permission question is which company supplies the particular service in the customer’s location. An AML registration, a corporate registration and a crypto-service authorisation answer different questions. This profile does not promote the Canadian MSB claim into approval of all investment services, nor the Czech company identity into a verified EU-wide crypto licence. The current third-party structure is a material part of the product description.[3][2]
Migration history and current account continuity
Sections ↑The July 2026 FinSeven notice says customer relationships and technical infrastructure were transferred from Guardance UAB in Lithuania to FinSeven CZ. It tells affected customers that account status and access remain unchanged and names the new data controller. It also says the former entity may retain records required for legal obligations. Brand continuity therefore does not mean that every historical privacy or contractual reference still identifies the current operator.[13]
A separate July notice describes a transfer of business operations and customer relationships to GRNTech Solution in Canada, including verification information, order history and communications. These notices concern their respective affected relationships; they should not be collapsed into a claim that every customer moved to one single company. The provider and data-controller information on the current customer route remains consequential.[12]

Business records, embedded integrations and persistence
Sections ↑Guardarian publishes API documentation and a partner integration proposition. A business embedding the checkout should preserve the transaction reference and the provider information presented to its customer. A branded entry screen does not eliminate the underlying exchange relationship, and changing a website integration should not make completed orders impossible to reconcile with invoices or blockchain transfers.[26][22][19]
The Personal Cabinet is optional for placing new retail transactions, but it is useful for retrieving older order details. Losing access to the email used for those transactions is therefore different from losing the keys to a self-custody wallet: one affects records and authentication, while the other affects control of the coins. The public material reviewed does not state a uniform recovery waiting period, so this profile does not invent a standard post-recovery withdrawal hold.[11][20]
For larger business flows, the published €250,000 default is a starting parameter, not a promise of unlimited volume. The business article links further volume to sufficient source-of-funds and source-of-wealth evidence. That distinction should remain in internal payment planning and any customer-facing description of the service. It also explains why a retail card rule, a business exchange limit and an OTC offer should remain separate records.[9][21][24]
