Benkiko P2P and how you can make commission being an agent.
Benkiko mainly uses Peer to Peer exchange of its digital token USDB to facilitate deposits and withdrawals.
This is a hybrid of Mpesa agency network and the normal P2P exchange of cryptocurrencies available on Binance P2P, Paxful, Localbitcoins, Bitzlato and more.
What is P2P and how does it work.
P2P exchange is the direct exchange of cryptocurrencies for cash and cash for cryptocurrencies between peer individuals. This way, there is no intermediary between them and one sets the price to sell at and the other agrees to buy directly from the seller at the said price.
This is similar to Mpesa agency network only that the intermediary is Safaricom and it guarantees the trust.
How exactly? With Mpesa, you hand over cash to an agent to make an equivalent deposit on a 1:1 basis with the Kenya shilling to your Mpesa. With cryptocurrencies, measures are put in place to guarantee trust as there is no intermediary between peers, i.e P2P Agents. With this measures in place, you can now initiate a deposit by sending the P2P agent cash and the agent making an equivalent deposit to your crypto wallet.
Unlike with Mpesa where the agents earn commission from Safaricom, in a P2P scenario the agent sets their own margin as they operate independently and stand to gain more….
How to be a P2P Agent on Benkiko.
As with any other P2P service, there is no formal application process to be an agent. This opens the doors to any individual to be an agent making their own commissions from facilitating deposits and withdrawals.
Unlike Mpesa whose deposits are 1:1 based on the Kenya shilling (KES), Benkiko uses a digital token called Benkiko USD (USDB) which is 1:1 based on the US Dollar.
