# Swapped > Buying crypto made simple Swapped is a cryptocurrency on-ramp and off-ramp service. It lets individuals and businesses buy and sell digital assets using local payment methods across many countries. Swapped is a cryptocurrency on-ramp and off-ramp service that lets individuals convert between fiat currency and digital assets. It provides access to a range of popular cryptocurrencies through numerous local payment methods, aiming to make buying and selling crypto straightforward for both newcomers and experienced users. The service also offers business-facing tools so platforms and companies can integrate crypto purchasing into their own products. The platform addresses friction commonly found in crypto on-ramps, such as unclear pricing and limited local payment support, by presenting transparent fees and instant delivery of purchased assets to a user's own wallet rather than holding customer funds. It operates under applicable licensing and registration in the jurisdictions where it serves customers, and works with a regulated partner to serve customers in the European Economic Area. Support is available directly from the company's team rather than through automated channels alone. Its core offering spans consumer-facing buying and selling of crypto and a business API for platforms that want to embed crypto purchasing into their own services. Swapped is used by individual retail buyers as well as businesses and platforms seeking to offer crypto access to their own customer bases. - Type: Company - Sector: Payments - Status: Active - Founded: 2021-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/swapped ## Products - [Swapped Ramp](https://thegrid.id/profiles/swapped): Swapped Ramp is an on/off-ramp service that lets individuals and businesses convert between fiat currency and cryptocurrency.
