Will my bank know I'm trading bitcoin on Bisq?

Generally speaking, Bisq doesn't deal with banks at all. All fiat transfers take place directly between users.

But there have been reports of banks closing accounts upon suspecting bitcoin activity. As a result, Bisq requires that the "reason for payment" field always be left BLANK when making a payment (if the payment method offers such a field).

If a reason is required, it should be something trivial like a "-" or "payment". If you want to use something else, please agree on an alternative with your peer using trader chat.

btw, never got your bisq satogram

It doesnt take a monero mind to know its very risky to send fiat to unknown person in the crypto world. I would risk suspician and account closure. Then you have the bitcoin tracking on top. Still think bisq is a great idea in general of course.

*wouldnt risk

My revolute account was shut down within 3hrs of sending $. What a pain….

Do you include the $ you’re transferring is for the purchase of bitcoin in the “reason for payment” field?

Maybe that’s why they shut down your account.

I didn’t put anything. I was waiting for something like this to happen.
