What NeverKYC is
NeverKYC is an account-free swap service for Bitcoin, Monero, Ethereum, Litecoin, USDT and other coins. Its terms say registration and KYC are not required for regular users, that rates come from third-party liquidity providers, and that deposits pass automated AML screening; high-risk transactions may be declined, in which case the funds are returned to the refund address the user gave, and the service says it does not confiscate funds. Its privacy policy says it does not collect names, emails or IDs, uses no analytics and does not log IP addresses or activity history, apart from temporary logs during attacks. Optional accounts exist for extra features and the referral programme. No company is named.
