What is Afreum Cash?

Afreum Cash is a peer-to-peer exchange powered by people.
How does Afreum Cash work?
In the example above, you are the buyer so the Seller needs to first release 100,000 AFR into the Afreum escrow account. Using the Chat button on the trading page you would have first confirmed all transaction details, including in this example, bank account information and so on. Once the Seller has sent the tokens to the escrow, you may click the Escrow button on the trading page to confirm the status of the escrow. Once the escrow is confirmed, you may send payment for the tokens to the Seller using the sellers payment details. Once the seller has received payment, they will release the escrowed tokens to your Afreum wallet account. Click on the Confirm button on the trading page to confirm that the tokens have been released from escrow to your account. You may also check your account to confirm that the escrow release transaction was executed and the tokens are in your wallet. Once you have confirmed release please Rate the other user from 1 to 5 base on the trading experience.
Offers & Trades
Offer: An Offer is like an advertisement that you put out telling the market 1. Which token you want to transact in. 2. Which fiat should be used. 3. Are you buying or selling? 4. What is the range of token amounts you are willing to accept trades for. 5. Are you trading at market rate, below market, or above market rate. Once create, your Offer is listed on the Afreum Cash Offers page for other users to browse.
Trade: A Trade is started when you accept the terms of an existing Offer, and starting a transaction. When you start a Trade, you specify how many tokens you would like to Buy or Sell, and which payment method will be used for the fiat transaction. Once you start a Trade on an existing Offer, the status button of the offer will be changed to "Trading ..." and you must conclude the transaction before others can start trades on the offer.

If you wish to trade using a local country fiat such as Nigerian Naira or South African Rand, you may do so by selecting the country at the top of the page. Once you are in country mode, the buy and sell buttons will be updated allowing you to transact in the local token of that country, either using USD or the local country currency if your registration is from the same country.

Trade Flow

Follow our simple Trade Flow for successful Afreum Cash transactions.
The Escrow and Confirm pages are probably the most important parts of the trade flow besides creating the Trade itself. The Escrow page is where both parties confirm that the Tokens involved in the trade have been placed in the Afreum Escrow account. Once the Seller has placed the tokens in Escrow, it is safe for the Buyer to make the fiat payment for the transaction. If the Seller refuses to release the tokens for any reason, a dispute can be opened by sending an email to [email protected]. In the future, a dispute resolution interface will be built to facilitate the dispute process. Confirm that tokens have been release from the Escrow account by the buyer by clicking the Confirm button. Finally, do take the time to rate each other honestly and fairly, as this helps other users identify good traders.

Trade with piece of mind thanks to the Afreum Cash Escrow account. Tokens are held in Escrow until payment is received.
Escrow Confirmation

You may proceed to the next step once the Escrow is confirmed.
