What is Paribu
Paribu is a Turkish centralised crypto exchange operated by Paribu Kripto Varlık Alım Satım Platformu A.Ş. in Istanbul, active since 2017. It offers crypto trading against the Turkish lira and USDT in three views (easy, standard and advanced), round-the-clock lira deposits and withdrawals through partner banks, staking, and DeFi access from the Paribu balance.
Good to know
- Paribu calls itself 'SPK licensed', but the Capital Markets Board (SPK) list that names it is a provisional list of firms that declared they would operate, and SPK states the list does not mean they are authorised. ↗
- Quick buy/sell in the easy view has no commission; limit orders there and all orders in the standard and advanced views pay maker/taker fees. ↗
- Paribu may hold customers' crypto pooled in one or more hot or cold wallets, rather than in a separate wallet per customer. ↗
- Lira withdrawals are free (minimum ₺10) but can only go to a personal Turkish lira current account in the customer's own name. ↗
- Identity checks (ID scan, face check, investor profile, address) can be done only in the mobile app; no deposits, withdrawals or trades before verification. ↗
- A sole shareholder, Yasin Oral, owns 100% of the operating company and is also chairman and general manager. ↗
- A related custody company, Paribu Kripto Varlık Saklama Kuruluşu AŞ, appears on the same SPK list as a custody applicant. ↗
