Safety Centre

Buy and sell with confidence

BNS is designed to be safe by default. Follow these tips to keep it that way.

Meet in public

Choose busy, well-lit places — cafés, transport hubs, high streets.

Chat on BNS

Keep conversations in-app so we can help if something goes wrong.

Inspect before you pay

Check the item works before handing over money.

Trust verified profiles

Look for the ✓ badge — it means we've verified their identity.

Never wire money

If someone insists on bank transfer or gift cards without meeting, walk away.
