Detailed Review

ChangeNOW: Instant, Account‑Free Crypto Swaps

Overview:
ChangeNOW is a non‑custodial instant‑swap service that lets users convert crypto—or buy with a card—without creating an account. With support for 900 + assets and no upper limits on transaction size, it’s built for quick, privacy‑focused exchanges.

Features:
Asset coverage: 900 + coins and tokens across major blockchains, plus fiat on‑ramps in 60 + currencies.
Rate options: choose fixed (locked price for 20 min) or floating (best available) rates.
Tools & add‑ons: widgets, API, and NOW Wallet for multi‑asset storage on mobile/desktop.
Transparency: clear fee breakdown and no hidden charges; typical spread ~0.5–1 %.

Usability:
The swap form auto‑detects best routes, and most exchanges finish in 2–15 minutes. No login means fewer steps, while optional email receipts help with tracking.

Security:
Because ChangeNOW never holds user funds or keys, custody risk is eliminated. AML checks run in the background; suspicious transfers may trigger optional KYC.

Bottom Line:
ChangeNOW is ideal for anyone who values speed, privacy, and broad coin support over advanced trading tools or yield products.
