How it works

Cash out your crypto, person to person.

Handoff is a market where people trade ETH for PayPal, Revolut, Zelle, bank transfers, gift cards and 33 other ways to pay. Buyers pay sellers directly; we hold the crypto in escrow until the seller confirms the payment.

How it works

Three steps. One middleman.

01

Lock

The seller's ETH goes into escrow before anyone pays.

Staying safe

Four rules cover almost everything.

When to release

Release only on settled money

Check your own balance, not a screenshot. Pending is not paid.

Same name, same account

Ask for payment from an account in the buyer's name. Refuse third-party payments.

Keep it in the trade

Talk and share proof in the trade chat: it's what our team reads in a dispute.

Gift cards: redeem first

Redeem or check the card's balance before you release, and keep the photo of the card and receipt.

Terms & risks

The fine print.

Full terms

We provide the market and the escrow. Trades are between users; we are not a party to the payment between them and do not hold or transmit fiat money.

We may ask for identity verification, limit or refuse trades, and decide disputes on the evidence in the trade. Using a payment service to trade crypto may be restricted by its own terms; you are responsible for using it within them and for any taxes on your trades.

Crypto prices move fast and on-chain transfers can't be undone. Not affiliated with Robinhood or with any payment method shown. Nothing here is financial advice.
