Do you think a P2P trade is over once the transaction is done? Wait until your account gets flagged and customer support asks you to prove "this money is mine." If you cannot find a single usable document on your phone, that is when the real panic starts.

Keeping documents is not about pleasing anyone. It is about having cards to play if something goes wrong. Today we will explain clearly what documents you need to keep for OKX P2P and how to keep them, so that your "source of funds" can hold up under review.
Core Principle: Three Things Together Make a Complete Evidence Chain
Many people think a bank transfer screenshot is enough. But during a risk review or appeal, a single screenshot is often considered "incomplete evidence." What really works is having all three: platform order receipt + payment channel statement + chat record.
Document 1: P2P Order Receipt (Platform Side)
This is an official transaction record generated by OKX. Every completed order can be downloaded. You do not need to edit or modify anything.
[What to do]: Download the official receipt in PDF format for every completed P2P order.
[How to do it]:
App: Go to [P2P Trading] → [Orders], find the completed order, tap into it, and tap [Download Receipt] at the bottom. Save it as a PDF.
Web: Go to [P2P] → [My Orders]. Next to the completed order there is a download option to generate a PDF receipt.
[Completion standard]: Every trade has a PDF order receipt saved. The receipt includes key information such as both parties' real names, transaction time, amount, and payment method.
High-risk reminder: During an appeal or risk review, the official requirement is a system-generated PDF receipt, not your own screenshot. Converting a screenshot to PDF will be treated as invalid material. So after every trade, proactively tap "Download Receipt." Do not be lazy.
Document 2: Bank or Payment App Transaction Statement (Fund Side)
This is the "hard evidence" that proves the money really came from your account. When risk control asks for proof of funds, a bank statement or payment app bill is an officially accepted document type.
[What to do]: Export the bank or payment platform statement for the relevant time period as proof of funds.
[How to do it]:
Screenshot the transfer record: After paying, capture the "transaction successful" page in your bank app. It must include: payer name, amount, time, and last four digits of the bank card number (or the Alipay/WeChat transaction number).
Export the full statement: If risk control asks for more complete proof of funds, export a PDF bank statement. Do not crop it, do not edit it, and do not add a password. The statement should include date, time, currency, account number, and account holder name.
Electronic receipt first: The electronic receipt in PDF format from your mobile banking app is more convincing than a screenshot.
[Completion standard]: The statement PDF or transfer screenshot includes complete transaction information and your account information.
Common reason for failure: Some people only screenshot the amount but miss the account information and transaction number. That is basically useless evidence. The key details reviewers need to verify — payer name, account number, and time — if any one is missing, the submission may be rejected.
Document 3: Chat Records (For Disputes)
In the official OKX P2P risk control appeal process, the platform will ask you to submit communication records related to the trade as evidence.
[What to do]: Keep all communication during the trade inside the OKX P2P order page chat box.
[How to do it]:
Do all communication in the [Chat] box on the P2P order page. Do not move the conversation to WeChat or Telegram.
If the counterparty makes manipulative statements such as "release the crypto first and I will transfer the money right away," take a screenshot immediately and circle or annotate it if needed.
If a dispute occurs, tap [Appeal] on the order page and submit screenshots and documents as instructed.
[Completion standard]: Key conversations have screenshots saved, and all dialogue records remain traceable within the platform.
High-risk reminder: Never accept payment from a third-party account. OKX officially requires that the payer name in a P2P trade must match the counterparty's verified real name. If you find that the payer name does not match, cancel the order immediately and refund the money through the original route.
