Yesa shows Nigerians the exact figure before they sell or buy crypto

The Lagos app puts the amount on screen first, whether you are cashing out to any Nigerian bank or buying crypto with naira, in a market where many people still deal with strangers. For many Nigerians, turning crypto into naira has meant dealing with a stranger. Peer-to-peer trading asks the seller to agree a rate […]

The Lagos mobile app Yesa is providing Nigerian users with the exact amount of Naira they will receive or spend when dealing with cryptocurrencies. This transparency is a stark contrast to the previous peer-to-peer trading method, which often involved negotiating rates with strangers and the risk of receiving no payout at all after Binance stopped accepting Naira transactions in 2024.

Users simply need to send their crypto to their Yesa wallet to see the accurate Naira value, confirm the transaction, and have the funds deposited into their Yesa balance. This balance can then be withdrawn to any Nigerian bank account. The spokesperson for Yesa emphasizes that the displayed amount is the final amount the user will receive, streamlining the process and minimizing the need for trust in strangers.

The app supports a variety of cryptocurrencies, including USDT, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB, USDC, Litecoin, TRON, and Dogecoin, and there are no fees for selling, buying, or using gift cards. The buying process is equally straightforward, with the app displaying the amount of cryptocurrency users can purchase in return for their Naira input, all without additional charges.

Users can pay using the funds already in their Yesa balance or via bank transfer, ensuring the purchased crypto ends up in their personal Yesa wallet. Additionally, Yesa users can sell gift cards and pay for various services, including airtime, data, TV, and electricity, all from the same account. The app's commitment to user trust is evident in their promise not to request passwords, PINs, or one-time codes and to safeguard users' assets even if their phone is lost or compromised.

With over 15,000 active users, the Yesa app is accessible on both Google Play and the App Store, offering a secure and straightforward solution for Nigerians navigating the cryptocurrency landscape.
