Oobit Wallet - new Swap feature for direct trade of one cryptocurrency for another
  
Oobit's Swap Feature (https://www.oobit.com/blog/streamline-your-crypto-trading-with-oobits-new-swap-feature/) is a new feature of Oobit Wallet (https://www.oobit.com/) that allows users to quickly liquidate one asset for another that they believe has more growth potential. It also allows users to hedge against events that may affect the one crypto, or just to move from a volatile market to a more stable one, it allows users to trade between the following cryptocurrencies:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
  • USD Coin (USDC)
  • Ripple (XRP)

Swap lets you bypass network fees and instead do an internal trade of one cryptocurrency for another. Providing a non-custodial, on-chain transaction. For example, users can swap Bitcoin for Ethereum directly from their Oobit Bitcoin wallet, with the funds being deposited directly into their Oobit Ethereum wallet.

Just to be clear, users are required to do the KYC process even if they would "only" use this wallet for sending and receiving transactions?

Looks like it's heavily inspired by Blockchain.com's platform ;)

Cryptocurrency under your control
IMO, the part I've highlighted in red is misleading.

I believe after contacting the company the answer is yes.

They tried to combine the best of all platforms for a complete solution

I took a look at the Oobit website, and it seems like they're an unknown company out of Singapore that's apparently been in business since 2016.  Their "About Us" page looks extremely slim:

They also offer a crypto debit card that seems way too good to be true, and I'm wondering if anyone out there has tried it out.  As far as the swap function goes, my location is blacklisted (not a surprise) and they seem to service basically the same countries as Binance.  I have no idea whether Oobit is legitimate or not, but I'm skeptical to say the least.

It's quite surprising that the domain has bought almost 15 years ago when Bitcoin wasn't born. Here is the domain information.

It seems they mentioned on the about us page they are working from 2016, really need 5 years to build an instant exchange? I am not familiar with the development process, but I think it's taking a too long time to launch an instant exchange. However, I am curious how the Oobit team gains the domain which is 15 years old.

About the Visa card, at the beginning lot of companies offer that kind of crypto card. But eventually very few launched on the market. Let's see Oobit performance on that field. I am interested to see any reviews from the forum after using it how potential they are.

They may have an office in Singapore (at least according to their website), but the company QQCap OÜ is from Estonia.
