Eyeing African Market, Binance Adds Nigerian Fiat-to-Crypto Gateway

News Feed - 2019-10-25 02:10:34

Binance has added a fiat-to-crypto gateway for Nigeria’s Niara (NGN), the company said.


Facilitated by payments network Flutterwave, the addition starts a new phase of Binance adding sub-Saharan fiat pairs, the company said in a statement. In “the near future” the high-volume global exchange will also introduce gateways for South Africa’s Rand (ZAR) and Kenya’s Shilling (KES), Binance said.


At launch, Binance limited the Nigerian trading pairs to BUSD/NGN, BNB/NGN and BTC/NGN. Investors can deposit between 150 NGN (about $.40) and 430,000 NGN (about $1,200) for a 1.4% fee, Binance said in a blog post.


Binance said last month that it planned to add fiat-to-crypto OTC trading.


Binance did not respond to CoinDesk’s request for further comment.
