What you should know about P2P market

P2P forex market, a short form for peer-to-peer, which basically means you are transacting in foreign currencies directly with a dealer from an online platform.

This process does not involve any middleman; hence you will bargain directly with the dealer, who might not be in Nigeria, you transfer Naira to them, and they send the dollar equivalent to you.

 

It is another form of the parallel market; however, the chances are that the rate could be slightly different from the BDCs (middlemen effect). It could be as a result of a barter too. Someone who needs naira could trade with another who needs dollars/pounds etc.
