Bisq Community

Bisq Community is the discussion forum of Bisq, the decentralised peer-to-peer exchange where people swap bitcoin for fiat. The Payment methods category is the part payments readers should open first, because it records how traders use bank rails to settle.

Topics in the payment-methods category Threads cover SEPA transfers, Wise, Zelle, Cash App and regional options such as NEFT and Interac e-Transfer. Real obstacles come up often: "Revolut closing my account", "Bank account blocked" and a thread on Zelle becoming more restrictive from April 2025. A request thread asking which new payment methods Bisq should add has 27 replies and more than 2,000 views. Contributors such as Pazza and MnM regularly guide newcomers through setup.

Trade disputes Elsewhere on the forum, a thread titled "No mediator response since 21 September, trade 04169 payment already sent" shows what happens when a fiat payment is made and the dispute process stalls. The project also has a subreddit at r/bisq.

Why payments people read it It is a record of which fiat methods trigger bank account closures and chargeback worries in a market with no central operator.
