About NoKYC Score

A directory that tries to answer the question people actually lose money over: will I get it back?

What this is

NoKYC Score maps services you can use without handing over identity documents: crypto exchanges, swap services, peer-to-peer platforms, wallets, cards, VPNs, servers, email, eSIMs and more. It currently lists 337 live services and 43 documented incidents.

Why it exists

Wanting to keep your passport out of one more database is a reasonable thing to want. Identity databases leak, and a leaked scan cannot be reissued like a password. But a service that never asks who you are also gives you nobody to complain to. In this corner of the internet, track record is the only consumer protection there is.

Most lists answer one question, "does it ask for ID?". We think there are two, and that the second matters more once money is involved: "does it pay out?". So every listing here carries two grades, and they are never blended.

How it works

  • Terms first. KYC levels come from what a service's terms allow, not from its homepage.
  • Evidence labelled. A grade based on documentation says so. A grade backed by test transactions shows the ledger.
  • Incidents tracked. Held funds, hacks and shutdowns are recorded with a source and an outcome, and serious unresolved ones cap the Safety grade.
  • Rules, not opinions. The formula is public, and nobody can adjust a grade by hand.

Nothing for sale

Listings, grades and positions are not for sale. Every source of income, and any link that pays us, is on the transparency page.

What this is not

It is not financial or legal advice, and a listing is not a recommendation to use a service. Whether a provider may serve you depends on the law where you live. We do not list sanctioned services, mixers or gambling, and we do not publish ways around a provider's country restrictions.
