Coinbase alternatives without KYC

Coinbase asks for an ID document before you can buy. If you used it to buy crypto with a card or a bank transfer, these platforms accept fiat with no ID or with only light checks.

Fiat purchases are where limits bite first: most of these platforms set a maximum amount without ID.

13 platforms listed, 7 with no ID at all. Sorted by how much identity they ask for.
