The safe way to trade
with strangers.
With Bonfium, the seller gets paid only after the parcel arrives and checks out. Sell, buy, or swap on any platform — without the scams.
How it works
Three steps between you and a scam-free deal.
The payment is held in a safeguarded account — the seller sees "payment secured" but can't touch it yet.
Tracking number goes in, courier APIs take over. Every scan updates the trade automatically.
After delivery plus a 48-hour inspection window, funds release to the seller. Problem? Freeze and dispute.

What traders say
From the communities where Bonfium started.
Sold my camera to a stranger from a Facebook group. He paid through Bonfium the same evening — no more "transfer first and trust me" conversations.
Swapped keyboards with someone in Poland. Both parcels tracked, and money only moved when both of us confirmed. This is how swaps should always work.
The sneakers arrived with a scuff that wasn't in the photos. Opened a dispute, sent pictures, and got a partial refund in two days. Fair for both sides.
Built for every kind of deal
Not just sales — Bonfium is the only protected checkout that handles swaps.
Both parcels are tracked. Neither side completes until both arrive and pass inspection. Cash top-ups supported.
Light ID check on both sides. Every profile carries a portable record: trades completed, disputes, response time.
Evidence-based arbitration with unboxing-video protocol and courier weight records. Most cases close in 3 days.
Facebook, Vinted comments, Discord, forums — the deal starts with a link, not a marketplace. Your platform, our protection.
Trust & security built in
Every trade runs on the same infrastructure banks use. Your money never touches Bonfium's own accounts, and nobody trades anonymously.
Both sides verify with a government ID and a liveness selfie check before money moves. Screened against EU sanctions lists.
TLS 1.3 for everything in transit, AES-256 for everything at rest. Card data is tokenised — we never see or store full numbers.
Customer funds sit in segregated safeguarded accounts at a PSD2-licensed EU payment institution — separate from company money, protected even if Bonfium disappeared.
Device fingerprinting, velocity limits, and a shared ban-graph across accounts. Suspicious trades are held for manual review.
Releases and payouts above €100 require a second factor. New payout accounts have a 24-hour cooling period.
Data stored in the EU, deleted on request, never sold. Dispute evidence is visible to both parties — no secret files.
