As the title says.
I was depositing eur (via sepa) on Mexc successfully with almost no fees, but they charge around 1% now (no matter the sum).

What are other CEX to depost fiat/buy usdt with no fees or for a few bucks?

Telegram is also offering usdt purchases at 0%, but the no fee threshold is only 500$.

Kraken and bybit should be fine, binance too, it depends on the volumes though

you can save on fees if you subscribe to Kraken+ (up to $10k/month voume)

Kraken pro is significantly different compared to kraken when it comes to fees, i dont understand the need for "not pro" kraken, which one do you mean?

Non pro kraken is for random small exchanges, and for those who don't understand trading.
Kraken+ is a half way between pro: you still get the easy quick exchange interface with no fees up to $10k.
Kraken OTC is for non trivial amounts and if you don't want to spend your day playing with the book.

How does this work? How do you send fiat to tg?
Anyway you can never be wrong with Kraken.

You but usdt with credit card. Telegram partnered with mercuryo.io.
Go to @wallet in telegram and check it out.

ok so probably better to avoid using it with some crypto-fearmonger bank (including revolut).

Never had a problem buying crypto with revolut so far. Good experience!
Revolut personal, not business

I sweat every time I open Revolut 😬
I have a corporate account since 2019 and never had a problem, I'm too coward to try anything so exotic.

I was not accepted for Revolut personal though 🤦

Why sweat if there are no problems? 🤓

Because there are no problems :p Which is unusual, especially for Revolut from what I hear.

No, it's just the bank monkeys acting randomly.
