DFX review
DFX is an on-ramp operated by DFX AG in Zug, Switzerland, facilitating crypto purchases and sales through bank transactions in CHF or EUR. The system sends coins directly to your personal wallet, meaning DFX does not hold customer funds. As a company regulated in Switzerland under anti-money laundering laws, it enforces KYC for transactions above a certain threshold. The highest verification level requires identification with an ID card or passport. If you exceed the limit and omit the verification, DFX will return the transaction after 7 days. In our view, DFX is suitable for buyers willing to undergo verification for larger transactions.

DFX asks for ID above a limit, per its own pages.

How we read the terms
We do not give privacy services a score. We record what each provider's own pages say: when it asks for ID, the limits, who holds your coins and what it costs. Labels come from each provider's terms, never from our guess. How we read the terms
