Binance has launched its latest fiat-to-crypto gateway in Nigeria enabling users in Nigeria to purchase BTC, BUSD, BNB with Naira (NGN) through debit and a credit card through the Binance Fiat Gateway.
This is the second Binance fiat-to-crypto gateway in Africa after Binance Uganda which was launched in 2018.

Speaking on the launch, ChangPeng Zhao (CZ), CEO, Binance, said:
“Africa has illustrated one of the largest demands and instrumental use cases for cryptocurrency, notably for financial access, in the world’s second-largest continent. In Sub-Saharan Africa, about 95 million people remain unbanked while many regions in the area, including Nigeria, have embraced new technologies with an increasing amount of innovation.”
CZ added:
“Working with Flutterwave will help bridge the fiat-to-cryptocurrency gap and we hope to stimulate more financial inclusion as Africa demonstrates strong potential in leading crypto adoption.”
