How we write and check our guides

Official sources only

• Steps, button names, limits and fees come from the exchange's own help center, fee pages, terms or public data pages. We don't use third-party blogs, forums or videos as sources.
• Which countries an exchange serves comes from its official terms and restricted-countries list.
• Every guide lists the official pages we used at the bottom, under "Official sources we checked", and each source note carries a date.

Dates you can see

• Every guide shows its last updated date under the title.
• Each source note says when the official page was published or updated, or the day we checked it.
• Market numbers (ads, prices, payment methods) always carry the day we recorded them, because they change every day.

How we measure P2P markets

For the country pages we take a snapshot of the public USDT P2P ads on Binance, OKX and Bybit in each local currency. A small script reads the same public ad lists anyone can open without an account. Nothing is bought, sold or logged in.

For each currency and each side (ads you can buy USDT from, ads you can sell USDT to) we record:

• Number of ads. OKX's public list stops at 200, so we write "200+" when it is full.
• Typical price: the median of the first 20 ads in the list, the ones a buyer actually sees first. We stopped using the median of the whole list because its tail holds prices nobody trades at.
• Typical order range: the median minimum and maximum amount per order.
• Payment methods ranked by how many ads accept them.
• Experienced merchants: the share of ads from merchants with a 95% or higher completion rate and 50 or more orders in the last month.

These are one day's numbers, shown with their date. They are not a price quote and not a forecast; always check the price in the ad itself before you open an order.

Screenshots

Screenshots come from real accounts and the exchanges' own apps and websites. When a step has no screenshot yet, it follows the official help page listed at the bottom.

What we never write

• No investment advice: we don't tell you what to buy, when to buy or how much.
• No price predictions.
• No legal or tax advice. For that, ask a qualified professional in your country.
• No ratings, stars or "best exchange" rankings, because we can't prove them.
• No workarounds for country or identity rules: no VPNs, false residence, rented accounts or verification tricks.

Partner links

Some sign-up buttons, and the Ledger and Trezor shop buttons, are partner links: if you sign up or buy through them, we may earn a commission from the exchange or shop, at no extra cost to you. A short note under the first button on a page says so.

Partner links don't decide what we recommend. For a country, we point to an exchange only because it accepts residents there and has a P2P market in the local currency, as measured in our snapshot. If an exchange is not available in your country, we say so, partner or not.

Corrections
