Explain why P2P creates friction
Route cost is more than a percentage
ATM cash, cards, P2P cash-out, and QR routes all have different friction. A route can look cheap but still cost time, uncertainty, or awkward proof-of-payment steps.
Compare before relying on one method
Use this model before a payment that matters: rent, medical bills, bookings, or any day where a failed route would be stressful.
How ADAPAY helps
ADAPAY is designed to reduce the repeated loop of cashing out, finding a P2P counterparty, and then paying a merchant that only wanted a normal local QR payment.

FAQ
Questions people ask before paying
Does this calculator show an official ADAPAY quote?
No. It is a planning calculator. Live quotes, route availability, and provider costs can differ.
Why include P2P?
Many crypto-native expats use P2P as a workaround. It can work, but it adds time, spread, trust, and proof-of-payment friction.
