Swapuz is a non-custodial exchange with a Shotgun KYC policy. They ban VPNs, log IP addresses, and can suspend funds indefinitely if a swap is flagged until KYC is completed.

Users are explicitly prohibited from using VPNs or proxy software to conceal their IP address. IP addresses are monitored to enforce geographic restrictions.

Data Sharing

The service will transfer user data, including IP addresses, to business partners or governmental bodies upon their request.

Third-Party Liquidity

AI Summary

Updated

Users generally find Swapuz to be a fast and reliable crypto exchange platform. Many appreciate the clear interface, responsive support, and seamless small transactions. However, a noticeable number of users complain about extensive KYC delays, hidden fees, and frozen funds for larger amounts, despite the platform advertising no KYC. While most daily transactions go smoothly, high-volume traders report long wait times and a lack of transparency regarding AML checks. It is highly praised for common swaps but carries risks for larger exchanges.

Transactions are handled quickly and accurately, regardless of the amount. Even swaps in the range of 200–300 XMR are processed without any complications. The consistency and reliability over time make it one of the best exchangers I’ve used.

KYC issue

Service required extensive KYC, but the process was delayed multiple times over several weeks.

Documents were requested step by step instead of upfront, creating unnecessary delays. No clear timeline or written justification was provided for holding the funds.

Users should be cautious regarding transparency and refund timelines.

Swapuz
Support at Swapuz

We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations.

KYC procedures are sometimes required to comply with regulatory and security standards, especially in certain transaction scenarios. That said, we understand how frustrating delays and step-by-step document requests can feel, particularly without clear timelines.

Our goal is always to review cases as efficiently as possible while ensuring compliance and fund safety. We appreciate this feedback — transparency and communication are areas we continuously work to improve.

If the case is still unresolved, we encourage reaching out again with your ticket ID so it can be reviewed in detail.

Completed several exchanges on Swapuz and the overall experience has been very smooth. Most swaps were processed quickly, with clear details shown upfront and no surprises at the end.

I don't know how reliable the reviews here are, but Swapuz has already been flagged as a scam by at least two websites. https://monerica.com/exchanges/non-kyc-exchanges/swapuz https://xenaps.com/service/detail/swapuz/

Swapuz
Support at Swapuz

Hi

Monerica and Xenaps (like many privacy-focused resources) flag nearly all no-KYC exchangers as "scam/high risk" if the service has ever applied an AML check on suspicious chains — this is standard in 2026 due to regulatory pressure. We’re not a scam: operating since 2020–2021, we’ve processed massive volumes (over $150M+), thousands of successful swaps daily, with fast transactions in 2–10 minutes. For large swaps: they usually go smoothly and without issues when funds are clean. In rare cases an AML check may be required — this protects everyone, including you, from legal problems. It’s not selective scamming, but a necessary industry measure.

seven-year-old_tonic_5537

I often use sites like kycnotme. Because I can still find more or less honest reviews on them. But after studying the links above, I think you were marked as a scam not because you check AML, but because even after passing KYC, you don't return the money, hiding behind the law.

Swapuz
Support at Swapuz

Thanks for checking kycnot.me — we respect those platforms for real user insights. To be crystal clear: There has never been a single case where we withheld funds after successful KYC/AML verification when everything was confirmed clean and legal. If checks pass, the swap completes fully and fast — thousands of times, including large amounts. Holds happen only on persistently high-risk coins (e.g., tied to hacks/theft via Chainalysis), where regulations require us to freeze/report. It's not a way to keep money — it's compliance to protect everyone. We've been operating since 2021 with massive volume ($150M+ processed). A real scam exchanger wouldn't survive this long. 🦖

Used Swapuz multiple times — the first five exchanges were completed quickly and without any issues. One exchange later took almost two hours, but it turned out the delay was caused by blockchain network problems, not the platform itself. After contacting support, everything was explained clearly, which helped put the situation into perspective.

The last three exchanges were completed within 10–15 minutes, even with amounts over 50k. Based on this experience, it’s better to check with support before jumping to conclusions if a delay happens — they’re responsive and transparent about what’s going on.

Support at Swapuz

Hi! Thank you so much for the detailed and honest review — this kind of real feedback really helps us improve and shows others what to expect 😊 We're glad the first five swaps went fast and smoothly, and the last three (even over 50k) completed in just 10–15 minutes. That's exactly our goal for clean transactions: when the network isn't congested and there are no AML flags, everything flies through instantly. Regarding that 2-hour delay — yes, blockchain congestion (especially on BTC/ETH during peak times) can add extra time, and we always try to explain what's happening right away so there's no unnecessary worry. Awesome that our support team cleared it up quickly and helped put things in perspective. You're 100% right: if something isn't instant, the best move is to reach out to live chat or support@swapuz.com with the order number. We're online 24/7 and always transparent about every step (whether it's network issues, a rare AML flag, or anything else). It saves a lot of stress. Thanks again for sharing your experience — reviews like this motivate us and confirm we're doing things right. Ready for any volume, and we always look forward to seeing you back 🚀 If you have questions or need another swap — just hit us up, we'll make it one-click easy! Best regards, Swapuz Team

I was exchanging BTC to ETH on Swapuz and didn't notice that I copied the wrong ETH address before confirming the swap. When I saw the problem, I reached out to support. They checked carefully the transaction, guided me through the verification steps, and helped correct the destination. The issue was resolved without any loss, which was a huge relief. This showed me that Swapuz takes user support seriously and doesn't leave clients alone with problems.

Hello, support! I fulfilled all the exchanger's requirements (KYC), but I ended up waiting over a week the first time, then another week the second time, and now they're asking me to wait a third time because they're requesting documents one by one, even though I could have done it all at once. This is unethical, to say the least. I'm wasting time and resources that could have been put to better use instead of waiting. Please intervene and ask the exchanger, citing specific points in their AML KYC policy, to provide a response regarding the reasons for stopping the exchange, confirming their statements, and the rule that allows them to deliberately delay the refund process. Thank you! I hope this issue is resolved promptly!

They are a Whitebit reseller, and their claim of Own Liquity is false. Do not believe it. It took nearly a week for me to receive my XMR, so I wouldn’t recommend using their service.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Recently, we’ve seen unusually high demand for XMR, which in rare cases has caused some delays. We use a variety of liquidity sources, including our own, to keep swaps moving as quickly as possible.

on screen it was stated, 6.087901 XMR this is what i will get but on my xmr wallet i got 6.099 xmr. i asked support and they said to me ‘Hi! this happened because the liquidity provider charges 0.1% of the withdrawal amount in addition to the 0.0005 fee for withdrawing coins. ‘

hidden fees and avoid using, you will not get what they promised on screen.

Swapuz
Support at Swapuz

Thanks for your feedback. In this case, you actually received slightly more XMR than the amount shown on the order screen, which can happen due to rate fluctuations during processing. We understand it might still feel confusing, so we’ll work on making our explanations about such differences clearer, even when it’s in the customer’s favor.

Multiple times before, even after they checked my coins and guaranteed no issues, they dinged me 5-10% extra on the fees. Their explanation: ' we just said you wouldn't need to KYC, we never guaranteed any rates and your coins were tainted once we received them. '

So this time I had them check my coins again and I also had them guarantee no further fees. But guess what? The order was frozen for KYC and now I've just lost several thousands of dollars because no way am I trusting them with my PII given their trail of dishonesty. I feel stupid for having used the site all after the 2 previous bad experiences with them.

Hi massive_equinox_8677!

We’re very sorry to hear about your recent experience — this definitely sounds like a misunderstanding. Please reach out to our support team directly so we can look into your case in detail. We want to assure you that Swapuz never leaves a customer behind, and we’re fully committed to resolving any issues fairly and transparently. Let’s work together to make things right.

I want to mention that Swapuz has a poor reputation outside of Bitcointalk, with many negative reviews on forums and aggregator sites excluding Trustpilot, where could be mostly positive reviews appear to be paid content. The platform likely relies on other third-party centralized exchanges, which means your transactions could be routed through multiple CEX services. For these issues, I would not use their service to exchange my coins.

Added context: BitcoinTalk Thread

Swapuz
Support at Swapuz

Hi Trevoid, appreciate the feedback!

Just to clarify: Swapuz has been running smoothly for over 5 years, with zero KYC, fast swaps, and our own liquidity sources in addition to selected third-party providers. We don’t rely solely on CEXs — that’s simply not accurate.

As for reviews, we never pay for them — real users leave them across different platforms, and we’re proud of the trust we’ve earned in the privacy community. Thousands of users exchange daily, often in under a minute.

Feel free to test it yourself — speed, simplicity, and privacy are what we’re all about 🔁🕶️

You state zero KYC, but your Terms of Service indicate that refunds or exchanges may be suspended indefinitely and KYC may be required if fraud is suspected. Additionally, transactions flagged by internal controls could lead to refunds being denied or services blocked, with potential KYC demands. How do you reconcile this with your claim of no KYC?

Never been asked for any KYC. Small orders under $2000 were processed quickly. However, orders over $10000 had a couple of hours delay. One time, they even refused to complete my order and returned the money back. I guess this happens because of issues with matching your order (like XMR to BTC) with a counter-directed one (BTC to XMR).

Swapuz
Support at Swapuz

Hi flipping_euphemism_4525!

Thank you for sharing your experience — we really appreciate your honesty and balanced feedback. We're glad your smaller transactions have been smooth and fast!

Regarding the delay with larger orders: you're absolutely right. Occasionally, high-volume swaps (especially with pairs like XMR ↔ BTC) may take more time due to liquidity or network matching issues. In such cases, we always prioritize transparency and, when needed, offer refunds rather than leaving you waiting indefinitely.

Thanks again for using Swapuz — we’re continuously working to improve and make the experience even smoother for all users.
