Why Easy Crypto users are choosing Lightning Pay instead
Australian-owned
Swyftx is Australian. Your data and funds are subject to Australian regulations and banking.
Custodial = Not your Bitcoin
Swyftx holds your funds. If they freeze your account, you lose access. Lightning Pay is self-custodial — your keys, your Bitcoin.
Hidden fees add up
Swyftx charges $10 withdrawal + $30 minimum. Lightning Pay has no withdrawal fees. Just 1% flat.
