1. Luno’s Solution For Naira Transactions
Luno is a cryptocurrency exchange/wallet provider.
It was first established in 2013 as Bitx in Singapore and rebranded to Luno in 2017.
Some services offered by the platform include Instant buy/sell, Exchange, Wallet, etc.
This exchange is the most popular in South Africa, where it records its highest trading volume (followed by Nigeria).
Therefore, it was expedient that it found a solution for its Nigerian customers to use the platform conveniently again.
Luno does this with the help of a third party – Afrivoucher.
Customers simply purchase a voucher from this third party and then redeem it for use on the exchange.
Afrivoucher accepts payment via debit/credit card and bank transfer.
However, users must upgrade their accounts up to 2nd level verification to access this service.
I’ll now show you how to deposit and withdraw naira on Luno.
