Midpoint's peer-to-peer engine directly matches businesses and individuals with offsetting currency requirements resulting in the elimination of the ‘spread or margin’ component from all transactions.〔〔 By doing so, users avoid the cost of the bid-ask spread levied by traditional banks and brokers – often from 2%-5%〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=How to avoid currency cowboys while cutting the cost of transfers )〕 and instead uses the midpoint of the real-time interbank market rate. For its services, the company charges a single flat fee depending on the amount of the transaction.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peer-to-peer exchange firms cut out the banks and brokers )〕 The foreign exchange rate is set at the time the currency match is made, and the rate used is always the midpoint of the prevailing Interbank rate. The technology eliminates the spread imposed by market makers and the need for a middleman or broker.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=P2P FX catches on )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ONE STEP FURTHER IN THE P2P CURRENCY TRANSFERS REVOLUTION )〕 This mechanism help prevents discrimination against smaller sized transactions as all users receive the same midpoint interbank rate at the point of transaction.〔 Despite its nomenclature, peer-to-peer foreign currency exchange should not to be confused with P2P cryptocurrencies, digital or alternative 'currencies' such as bitcoin that rely on decentralised public ledgers and blockchain cryptography as a medium of exchange.
