How it works

Three simple steps to connect the currency you have with the currency you need.

1

Post your offer

List the currency you have, the currency you need, the amount you want to exchange, and your proposed rate. Your offer is displayed clearly so others can see exactly what you’re offering.

2

Compare verified offers

Browse offers from identity-verified members and compare rates, amounts, and vendor transaction histories. Make an informed choice before contacting anyone.

3

Connect and arrange your exchange

Connect directly with the other person through WhatsApp to discuss and arrange the exchange. You agree on the details and make any payments directly between your own accounts.

SWAP FX connects people; it does not hold or transfer their money.

Built on trust

Exchanging currency with another person requires confidence in who you’re dealing with. That’s why trust is central to SWAP FX.

Verified individuals

Members must complete identity verification and receive approval before publishing exchange offers. Our goal is to build a community of accountable individuals, not anonymous profiles or unverified listings.

Transparent exchange rates

See the proposed rates and amounts before you make contact. Compare available offers side by side and decide which one works for you.

Your money stays yours

SWAP FX does not hold, receive, or transfer customer funds. Exchanges are arranged directly between users, who remain responsible for agreeing on the terms and completing their own payments.

Reputation you can see

View vendor transaction histories and available feedback to help you make more informed decisions. Verification helps establish identity; transaction records and community accountability help build trust over time.

Made for students far from home

You’ve arrived in India with money in your home country’s account. Meanwhile, rent, tuition, food, and everyday expenses need to be paid in rupees.

Finding a fair, convenient way to exchange currencies shouldn’t be harder than it needs to be.

SWAP FX is being built with African student communities in India at its heart, starting with students from Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, and Tanzania, with the ambition to serve international students from across Africa and beyond.

Your currency. Your community. Your choice.
