Hello,  
I have a open trade where the seller’s country of bank is not the same country as the IBAN. I guess the seller confused the country of bank with the country he/she lives in.  
Of course my bank refuses the payment if I set the wrong country - should I just set the right country and make the payment or is the seller violating the trade protocol and I shouldn’t make the payment?

Well they are technically violating the trade protocol. Refer to this [wiki](https://bisq.wiki/Trading_rules) for more details.

I’d suggest opening a trader chat and seeing whether you guys can come to an agreement first!

Thanks for the answer.  
Yes, that is the procedure I’m aiming for.
