New Delhi [India], February 14: Peer-to-peer (P2P) trading empowers users to buy and sell crypto directly with one another, choosing their preferred price and payment method. To enhance this experience, Binance has introduced the P2P Shield Merchant Program, which vets and verifies select merchants to provide a safer and more reliable trading environment. While P2P trading offers flexibility and accessibility, using trusted platforms like Binance P2P is essential to minimise risks, protect against scams, and ensure secure transactions.

Exchanging digital assets for fiat or other cryptocurrencies is a foundational activity in the crypto market. Many users choose peer-to-peer (P2P) trading for its flexibility and accessibility, and competitive pricing.

Binance P2P has long been a trusted platform facilitating these transactions with robust security measures and smooth user experience. Trusted by millions of users worldwide, Binance P2P offers the best liquidity and top-of-the-line security.

To further enhance P2P trading safety and confidence, Binance continues to improve its P2P Shield Merchant User Protection Program designed to vet select merchants to provide an even safer and faster way to trade on Binance P2P.

What is the Binance P2P Shield Merchant Program?

-

The Shield Merchant Program reviews and verifies P2P merchants who have a positive transaction history, no negative feedback regarding frozen bank accounts, and meet other criteria.

-

Select merchants who pass the program's review receive a special badge next to their names on the Binance P2P platform. By choosing Shield Merchants, users can trade with those who have demonstrated consistent, reliable trading behavior and met strict selection criteria, including a strong track record of successful transactions and adherence to platform rules.

-

By trading with Shield Merchants, users benefit from an added layer of security and peace of mind, knowing that these merchants have been vetted and are committed to maintaining high standards.

How to Identify Shield Merchant

When browsing offers on Binance P2P, look for the "Shield Merchant" badge next to the user's name. This sign indicates that the counterparty is part of the Shield Merchant Program and has met its standards.

Essential Safety Tips for P2P Trading

While P2P trading offers unmatched flexibility, security remains paramount. Binance encourages users to:

-

Take screenshots of all transactions to maintain evidence in case of disputes

-

Trade exclusively on reputable platforms like Binance P2P that use identity verification and escrow services

-

Verify receipt of funds before releasing cryptocurrency

-

Communicate within the Binance P2P platform to avoid misunderstandings or scams

-

Contact Binance customer support promptly if disagreements arise

These best practices, combined with Binance's comprehensive security features, significantly reduce risks and enhance user confidence.

Why Binance P2P?

Binance P2P offers zero trading fees, a wide choice of payment options, a global reach, and robust security infrastructure that together deliver an unparalleled peer-to-peer trading experience. As the crypto ecosystem expands in India, Binance remains committed to educating users and developing innovative security programs to protect the community.
