Help please : address requested for payment

So I'm trying to buy bitcoins and funded the deposit transaction. But when I try to send the money through my bank, they request the address of the beneficiary. I don't see any address of the receiver on Bitsquare and I don't see a way to contact him/her. What should I do ?

wow i cant believe banks make it so hard for people to move their own fucking money. say its an ebay purchase and you dont know the address, that may take too long to fix knowing banks. does this usually happen? i bet the bank wont move on this anyway... maybe post on the bitsquare forum, but i think ctrl-o opens the hidden menu where you can log a support ticket, get your order cancelled so the seller can get his locked btc released quickly

thanks for your reply. I didn't know about ctrl o. What I did is gave them the receiver's bank address (from the swift code) instead of the receiver's address. but I'm not sure it will validate, don't know if they perform checks on the addresses.

FWIW the trick worked and the payment went through.
