Final Thoughts – Binance P2P Review & Tutorial

I think that Binance P2P is a brilliant way of depositing and withdrawing Fiat money to Binance Exchange. It is simple to use as well as it is cost-efficient.

However, I would not suggest you use cash as a payment method as it may cause a problem with tax authorities at a later stage. Thus, using a bank account or mobile wallet is suggested.
