We’re excited to announce that our Bitnob family just got bigger! Bitnob is now available in Kenya!
We’ve seen the growing interest in bitcoin in East Africa, most especially in Kenya, and we wanted to bring them the opportunity to buy, send, receive and save in bitcoin with Bitnob.
Our Kenyan users can now fund and withdraw from their wallets using Mobile money merchants like M-PESA, TKASH, and Airtel Money, making it convenient for them to kickstart their bitcoin journey.
Kenya makes it the third country the Bitnob app is available in.
Bitnob is known for its bitcoin savings feature which helps people to automatically save in bitcoin using the dollar cost average strategy. The savings feature will give Kenyans the opportunity to save their bitcoin for 3, 6, or 12 months depending on their preferences.
Bitnob’s payout feature helps to make it easy for Kenyans to receive bitcoin directly into their bitcoin wallet, their USD wallet, or split between both wallets. This is quite an innovative feature giving Kenyans the freedom to choose how they would like to receive their bitcoin.
Remittances are a challenge in Kenya. In fact, the Diaspora Remittance Survey 2021 issued by the Central Bank of Kenya, cited the main challenges as follows:
- Unfavorable exchange rates applied by service providers leading to high conversion costs
- Hidden charges and fees
- Slow interbank transfers
- Security
- Limits on amounts that can be remitted through mobile money operators
- Limited interoperability of mobile money systems
Bitcoin solves these problems. Imagine being able to receive money from your loved one outside the country straight into your Bitnob app within seconds at little or no fees. Bitcoin makes remittances easier, cheaper, faster, and more secure. Through Bitnob we are giving Kenyans the ability to experience the speed and convenience made possible with bitcoin.
Now with Bitnob, you can receive money from your family using Cash App or Strike in the US straight to your mobile money account.
You can also now send money from Kenya to Nigeria or Ghana or send money from any of these countries to Kenya.
Kenya is among the top 10 countries interested in cryptocurrency. According to reports, Kenya is a country interested in bitcoin, topping bitcoin search interest at 94.7%. Through Bitnob we wanted to bring the opportunity for Kenyans to access bitcoin in more ways.
Our goal is to continue changing people's lives through Bitnob by giving all Bitnob users access to more freedom through bitcoin. We are indeed excited that we’ll be extending unlimited freedom through bitcoin to Kenya as well.
Asante sana, Kenya. Let’s create magic.
