P2P books are segmented
Advertisers choose which payment methods they accept. That means the set of merchants available through one bank rail can differ from the set available through another, even on the same exchange.
The best screen price can be irrelevant
If you cannot use the advertised payment method, the quote is not an executable option. Payment filtering should therefore happen before ranking, not after.
Use the method you can verify
Beyond price, consider transfer speed, account limits and how clearly you can verify receipt or payment within the exchange workflow.
This material explains comparison mechanics and P2P execution factors. It does not guarantee price, liquidity, merchant performance or profit. Confirm all transaction details on the exchange.
