Buy Crypto with Apple Pay — No KYC
Apple Pay is the fastest way to buy crypto on iPhone or iPad — confirm with Face ID or Touch ID and skip typing card numbers entirely. Swaps compares every licensed provider that supports Apple Pay in your country and surfaces the best total receive amount; many process under-threshold purchases without full identity verification. Your crypto lands directly in your wallet.
How KYC works when you pay with Apple Pay
- Swaps — no KYC, no account. It compares providers and routes your purchase.
- Your provider (Paybis, Transak, and others) — licensed and regulated; may ask for ID above its threshold as required by law.
- Your crypto — sent straight to your wallet. Swaps never custodies it.
No-KYC limits by payment method
"No KYC" means no identity check below a provider's verification threshold. The ceiling depends on the provider, your country, and the payment method. Swaps compares every eligible provider so you see each one's requirement before you commit — no surprise ID request mid-checkout.
| Payment method | Speed | Typical no-ID ceiling* | Best for |
|---|
| Credit / debit card | Instant | ~€700–1,000 | Speed, small amounts |
| Apple Pay | Instant | ~€700–1,000 | Fastest mobile checkout (iOS) |
| Google Pay | Instant | ~€700–1,000 | Fastest mobile checkout (Android) |
| Bank transfer / SEPA | 1–2 business days | Higher (varies) | Larger amounts, lowest fees |
*Ceilings vary by provider, country, and regulation; above the ceiling some providers need only email or phone verification, not full ID. Swaps never custodies your crypto — it goes straight to your wallet.
