## What it is
Exolix is an instant exchange that says it aggregates liquidity from more than fifty centralised exchange platforms and builds its fee into the quoted rate. No account is needed. Its terms say customers are never asked for KYC over ordinary transaction errors, but that funds flagged as suspicious by its security system may lead to a request to verify the source of funds. The separate AML/KYC policy lets the service suspend, delay or cancel transactions until a compliance review is complete and lists the identity details it may request. In mid-2026 an exposure of partner-API swap metadata was reported.
