P2P markets: buy crypto from people
Peer-to-peer markets put you in touch with a buyer or seller. You pay the other person with a bank transfer, cash or another method they accept, and an escrow releases the coins once they confirm.
Your bank still sees a transfer to a named person. Reputation and escrow rules matter more here than fees: read them before your first trade.
