The Airtm P2P marketplace is a place where two people meet to complete a transaction, with Airtm acting as a trusted third party providing security and support.
How is the price of a P2P transaction made up?
- Base exchange rate: the exchange rate between the payment method's currency and 1 USDC. This does not include any fees.
- Cashier commission: what the cashier earns for completing the transaction. This includes a variable commission (a percentage of the amount) and, for some payment methods, a fixed commission.
- Platform fees: these include a service fee and an escrow fee charged by Airtm.
The total price shown in the transaction reflects the sum of all three components.
