Luno is one of the most secured websites for BTC exchange in Nigeria.
The company opened its office In Nigeria few years back and since then, have been a major player in the price of bitcoin in the country. Their price are considerate and fair. I've been using their services since 2016, and up till this very moment, I enjoy swift transactions without the fear of getting scammed by any third party.


Before you can start selling your bitcoin to Luno, you need to create an account with them via their website: http://www.luno.com or their android application on Google Playstore which is easier, cos you sign up using your registered google account on your android phone.

This Tutorial will be done using the Luno android application.

SBD|STEEM must be converted to Bitcoin via Blocktrades before it can be withdrawn in Naira through Luno wallet.

Hello @ememovic man this is impressive and believe a lot of Nigerians will find this very useful.

Like seriously,i am impressed

Yeah, they will.

  • Thanks for your commending comment.

Nice one bro.. And just incase 24hours or 48 hours of luno becomes to long incase of urgency... You can get local buyers and send off to their wallet for cash. Transfer fee can't exceed 0.0008 I suppose.

Thank you. It's better to wait for 24-48 hours than getting scammed within few minutes by local buyers.

Lol... That's true though
