Bisq Payment Methods: Fiat Options, Altcoins & Limits

Bisq is a true peer-to-peer (P2P) network, so fiat and altcoin settlements occur directly between buyers and sellers outside the application.

No Easy Chargebacks!
To protect sellers from fraud, Bisq strictly prohibits payment systems where chargebacks are easy (like PayPal, Venmo, Cash App).
