P2P trading advise
P2P trading advise
For the past 2 weeks I am being redirected to 395 different authorities and banks for me to complete the procedure to become P2P trader.
Long story short, I have some crypto, willing to sell via P2P platforms, but the bank that I use prohibited me from using their account for this.
I called few other banks in my country and they are telling me that I need VASP license to trade crypto.
I searched for VASP license and it it really complicated and not worth for me as I will need to register a company, invest in shared capital, appoint AML officer etc.
Is it really that hard to start P2P trading? I see tons of people on Binance trading P2P. All of them have VASP license? or they are hiding income with banks?
I want to do everything legally, according to all procedures. I have explained to bank that I am not a crypto exchange or smth to obtain either VASP license or open business bank account.
I am from Estonia. I can travel to few countries to open bank account. I am willing to continue P2P trading even after I sell my initial crypto.
I need your advise, where to open bank, which bank. Is there any document I can show to my bank that will persuade them that I don\’t need VASP license?
Thank you in advance.
I’ve been trading in Binance P2P for many years now, I don’t encounter such issues. I don’t think if it’s just in your Country, because here in my place all is well in terms of P2P trading. Binance provided an instruction how to post an ad and they provide the criteria how to become a verified merchant. And because what I’m doing is to withdraw from them, I just need to find an ad. And since your problem is about the bank you’re using, try to make up with another banks because afaik there are lot of method to send the payment.
