> The crypto app built for Africa

BitAfrika is a cryptocurrency exchange app for users in Ghana and Nigeria. It lets users buy, sell, send and swap crypto with mobile money or bank transfers, and pay local bills from their wallet balance.

BitAfrika is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange delivered through a mobile app and website. It lets users in Ghana and Nigeria buy, sell, send, and swap various cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. Payments run through local rails, with prices quoted in cedis or naira.

Users link a local mobile money wallet, or a bank card, to fund an in-app wallet and trade at a quoted local rate. Orders fill automatically, with crypto credited to the wallet and sale proceeds paid out to mobile money or bank accounts. Transfers between BitAfrika users carry no fee.

The app pays airtime, data bundles, electricity, water, and TV subscription bills from the wallet balance. It also offers virtual debit cards funded with crypto and digital gift cards. BitAfrika is used by individual traders, bill payers, and people sending value to friends and family across Ghana and Nigeria.
