Africa Crypto Guide was built for one reason: millions of Africans are being left behind by the global financial system, and crypto is changing that.
We are a team of African crypto traders, researchers, and educators who have been using exchanges like Bitget and Bybit since 2019. We know first-hand how confusing it can be to figure out which exchange actually supports your local currency, whether P2P trading is safe, and how to move money when your bank blocks crypto.
Our Mission
To give every African trader — whether you are in Lagos, Nairobi, Accra, Addis Ababa, or Dar es Salaam — clear, honest, and locally accurate information about crypto exchanges.
We do not write generic reviews copied from Western crypto sites. Every guide we publish is written with your country’s banking system, local currency, mobile money options, and legal environment in mind.

How We Review Exchanges
- We open real accounts — every exchange we review has been tested with a real account, including KYC verification, deposits, and withdrawals.
- We test local payment methods — we verify which mobile money and bank transfer options actually work in each country.
- We update our guides regularly — exchange features, fees, and regulations change. We review and update our content quarterly.
- We disclose our affiliate relationships — some links on this site are affiliate links. When you sign up through our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This does not affect our ratings or recommendations.
Affiliate Disclosure
Africa Crypto Guide participates in affiliate programmes with cryptocurrency exchanges including Bitget and Bybit. This means that when you register through links on this site and complete trading activity, we may receive a commission.
Our commissions never influence our reviews. We rate exchanges based on real user experience, local payment support, fees, security, and customer service. If an exchange performs poorly for African traders, we say so — regardless of our affiliate relationship.
