A segwit receiving address is an address that specifies that a segwit output should be created. Many wallet software developers have begun using a different key type and BIP 32 derivation paths for keys that are to be used in segwit addresses. Segwit addresses begin with bc1 (for native segwit outputs). Segwit change addresses are the same as receiving addresses except are used for your change outputs. These are not typically shown to the user and are managed internally by the wallet.

    A change address is where the change in your transaction is sent. See this Q&A: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/736/how-does-change-work-in-a-bitcoin-transaction – Ava Chow Oct 13 '17 at 14:35
  • I would like to add that our Segwit receive addresses are all P2SH-P2WSH, as native bech32 addresses are not yet supported. – arik Nov 01 '17 at 23:49
