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 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.",
