Quickex review
Quickex operates as a swap aggregator, managed by Blockex Lab Corp in Panama, comparing live rates and routing each swap to its chosen platform. No account is necessary for use. Every order requires consent to potential AML and KYC checks. If a deposit carries an AML risk greater than 40%, it can be frozen indefinitely until full KYC is completed. A refund, in such cases, is sent only to the sending address, incurring a 5% commission. The terms explicitly prohibit the use of VPNs and proxies, and exclude the United States, EU, and EEA. In our view, Quickex is suitable for swappers whose coins have a clean history.

Where you live and the provider's terms
Many services on this page do not serve every country. Some exclude people because of where they live or their citizenship, not only where they connect from. Read the provider's terms before you send funds. If the terms exclude you, do not use the service, and do not try to get around the restriction, for example with a VPN.
Taxes
A service that does not ask for ID does not change your taxes. In the US, the federal income tax return asks a yes-or-no question about digital assets, and you must report digital asset transactions whether or not they result in a gain or loss. In the UK, you may owe Capital Gains Tax when you sell, swap or spend crypto, and you must keep your own records. Rules in other countries differ.
No KYC is not anonymity
"No KYC" here means the provider says it does not ask for ID in the cases its terms describe. It does not make you anonymous. Quickex's terms say it can ask for ID in these cases: AML risk score above 40%; labels incl. dark service, scam, stolen, mixing (mixer), ransomware, hack, phishing, sanctions, gambling and others; request from the liquidity provider (exchange); request from competent authorities; suspicion of the Quickex AML officer; funds from Garantex, Tornado Cash, Hydra, Blender.io, Lazarus Group, Genesis Market, ChipMixer, Shinbad.io, Commex, Iranian and sanctioned-country platforms, darknet markets (blocked); FreeWallet, Join Market Project, Railgun, Rapira, Capitalist, Nobitex, Wasabi Wallet may be high risk. Regulated exchanges you send funds from or to may have to collect information about who sends and who receives a crypto transfer. Your tax duties stay the same.
Funds can be held
If a provider asks for more information during a swap or a withdrawal, it may hold your funds until it gets it. Its terms decide what happens next. In the UK, a crypto business that asks for information on a transfer to or from a self-custody wallet, and does not receive it, must not pass the funds on. Read what the provider's terms say before you send. Quickex's terms say that if a check is requested and not completed: freeze: indefinite, until full KYC; review time not regulated; refund: only after passing KYC, only to the sending address, with a 5% commission; deadline: no return if requested information is not sent within 30 calendar days; no return: if authorities request or seize the assets, or the liquidity provider withholds them; extra fee: up to 5% on high-risk transactions; evasion: up to 5% withheld if other addresses or e-mails are used to bypass a block.
