About this app

Buy or sell Monero without ID verification. Cash or online. Safe, fast, easy.

LocalMonero is the biggest, most trusted and well-established P2P trading platform in the XMR community. We have no KYC checks - you can simply buy Monero anonymously without ID verification with PayPal, credit card, gift card, cash by mail or convert Bitcoin, Ether, USDT, or any other crypto coin to Monero - our platform supports any payment method.

- Safe and Smooth Trading
We support any payment method, any currency, anywhere. We do not remove payment methods, and we fully support face-to-face cash trades. All of our trades are protected by an arbitration bond. Thanks to the fact that we require funds to be held in arbitration bond before a trade can start, we ensure a smooth and safe experience for the buyer, which is essential for the popularity of the platform and repeat customers for the sellers.

- No KYC/AML or ID Verification
LocalMonero is committed to maintaining the simplicity and straight-forwardness of your trading experience. We do not employ KYC/AML, nor do we ever plan on doing so.

- Trusted by the Community
Our platform has operated for over four years, survived the Great Cryptocurrency Market Crash of 2018, and through its community-oriented diligent service became one of the most trusted names in the extremely skeptical Monero community.

- Secure, Open Source, Privacy-Centric, Censorship-Resistant
Our app is free and open source, which ensures that many eyes are looking at the app's code to ensure that there are no security holes or privacy leaks. Open sourcing our app also allows anyone to have access to our app even if a certain app repository censors the app. Our app even works on phones that have Google completely blocked. We value your privacy so much, we don’t even require you to provide an email when registering.

- Fair Fees
We do not charge exorbitant fees when you deposit or withdraw Monero to/from our arbitration bond wallet. There is no deposit fee, and the withdrawal fee is very close to the fee you’d be paying on a normal transaction.

Ratings and reviews

Very nice design, easy to use and a great alternative for the Website. Good thing is that notifications are implemented and show you new messages or any updates on your trades. Definitely far easier and faster than switching to my PC browser instead. Haven't seen any bugs so far. Only what's missing is a fingerprint option for unlocking, but that's not that important in my opinion since you can use a PIN instead. Also, the processing could've been more detailed like it is on the website.

Uninstalled. Would not accept my browser created credentials. Username box remained highlighted in red, despite username being in use many moons. Attempting to register via app resulted in expected message. Time-waster. UI looks nice. No idea if chat and trade information exist, as found on browser. Pity I did not get a chance to find out.

Swift and easy way to buy Monero. The best way I've come across do far. Only problem is some banks don't support it... Which is a bummer, but easy to get around if you buy a crypto they do support, and then get the Monero with that instead of 'real'money. Seems secure, though I'm sure the OpSec experts out there can find holes in it, but I've never had any problems, aside the bank issue I mentioned. I recommend it anyway!
