We’re thrilled to share some exciting news that’s taking our platform to the next level! As of May 2025, we’ve rolled out a brand-new ID verification system powered by SumSub, a global leader in identity verification trusted by giants like Binance. This upgrade is all about making SWAPD the safest, most reliable place to buy, sell, and trade virtual assets like social media accounts and digital services. Here’s why we’re so pumped about this change and what it means for you.
Why We Made the Switch
At SWAPD, your trust and security are our top priorities. Our old manual ID verification process worked well, but we knew we could do better. It took time, and some of you hesitated to share personal info with a smaller marketplace—totally understandable! That’s why we teamed up with SumSub to bring you a faster, more secure, and privacy-first verification system. Starting May 1, 2025, we stopped storing or managing IDs ourselves and let SumSub’s cutting-edge tech take the wheel.
What’s New and Awesome About It
This isn’t just a tweak—it’s a complete game-changer. Here’s what our new ID verification system brings to the table:
- Trusted and Seamless: SumSub’s reputation speaks for itself. If it’s good enough for global leaders, it’s perfect for SWAPD. New users can now verify with confidence, knowing their info is handled by a world-class provider.
- Lightning-Fast Process: No more waiting around! Verifications are now instant, so you can dive into buying, selling, or trading without delay.
- Top-Notch Fraud Protection: SumSub’s advanced algorithms catch fake IDs and suspicious activity like never before, keeping scammers far away from our community.
- Your Privacy, Our Promise: We don’t store your IDs anymore. SumSub’s secure system ensures your data is protected with the highest standards, giving you peace of mind.
Listening to You, Always
You know we’re all about our community. Before making this big move, we listened to your feedback—like the 2023 discussions where you shared thoughts on balancing safety and accessibility. That’s why we made sure this system is user-friendly and welcoming for everyone. Whether you’re a seasoned seller or a first-time buyer, verifying your ID is as easy as visiting SWAPD.co/ID or reaching out to our verification team.
Striking the Perfect Balance
We get it—safety is key, but we don’t want to make things harder than they need to be. That’s why we’ve kept things flexible. Sellers still need to verify their IDs to maintain trust, but buyers can choose to verify or not, making SWAPD accessible to all. With SumSub’s tech, we’re catching bad actors while keeping the process smooth for legit users like you.
The Results? Safer Than Ever
Since launching the new system, we’ve already seen a huge drop in fraudulent activity (shoutout to SumSub’s tech!). Whether you’re grabbing an IG account, securing a verification, or trading services, you can transact with confidence. Our community is loving the faster, safer vibe, and we’re just getting started.
