Why use QRPh on Swaps

Swaps does not process payments itself — we route your QRPh transaction through licensed on-ramp providers (Paybis, Transak, Bridge by Stripe, Onramper, Mercuryo, OKX, Coinbase, and others) and rank their live quotes by total receive amount in your local currency. The best provider for QRPh depends on your country, the amount, and the coin you are buying, which is why every quote is re-evaluated in real time. The crypto goes directly to the wallet address you control; Swaps never custodies funds during the transaction.

What to expect

QRPh availability varies by provider and country. Some providers settle QRPh payments instantly, others may batch transfers depending on the rail. KYC requirements depend on the provider's compliance rules in your market — many corridors complete without verification at smaller amounts. Before you pay, Swaps applies a Tier-1 fiat-aware filter so QRPh routes that would be rejected by every available provider in your country never appear in the comparison. If a route is shown, it can complete; if it is hidden, the rail is not currently supported in your market.
