Might add BitOasis to the list. It's primarily based in Middle East but serves North Africa (Morocco and Egypt). Happen to know they've been considering going a bit further SouthEast too...

Thanks. I checked the website, and it seems legit so far (as everytime @everybody: do your research!) and so I'll added it.

Thanks. They even provide a business address, so I think it's not overly unlikely that it's a legit exchange  - even considering the quantity of emojis in your post

As Remitano is an international service serving several countries, I just looked at their website and I saw they're based on the Seychelles. And the Seychelles belong to ... Africa! So ok ... added.

Guava Exchange has started operations in Nigeria now, you can check them out: https://guava.africa/

There's an exchange about to launch in Nigeria  www.tradefada.com, you can buy and sell Bitcoin at the best rates with automated payout and fast automated methods of funding your accounts.  .

Remitano should make the list too

We had already a lot of theoretic discussions how Bitcoin could benefit the African countries. Now I am interested to create a list of already existing businesses and services that are operated from the African continent.

So I would be grateful for every hint, link, or name of African Bitcoin businesses. All African countries, also Maghreb countries and island states like Cape Verde, are allowed (except the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla). The business model should be intimately related to Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general. Known Multilevel/pyramid schemes can also be listed, but in a separate section where the scam danger is clearly described, and without a "hot" link.

If there's a valid reason one of these projects could be a scam, please comment in this thread. It will, if there is enough evidence for suspicion, then be moved into the "Possible scams" section.

Thanks, I added ther blog to the media section. Contents are a bit "standard", but OK (the article you linked is one of the better ones). It seems Guava has still not started operations, so I'll wait to add them into the "Exchanges" list until they start. If you're related to them, you're welcome to post here when they launch.

For the media section, you should check this https://blog.guava.africa/ out to see if it contains good content about cryptocurrencies. It's owned by one of the newest digital asset exchange in Nigeria. The blog mostly writes in-depth guides on investing in Bitcoin and other cryptoassets. I'll advise to start with this article: https://blog.guava.africa/investing-bitcoin-nigeria/

Thanks for putting together such a list. I will also suggest https://www.ngexchanger.com - Nigeria

South African crypto exchange - Kryptoro.

Update:

Found the site http://bitcoinafrica.io with a pretty large list of companies. I added those to the list that have a working website. Unfortunately, some of them have unavailable websites (their list may be a bit older):

https://www.bitland.world/ - Ghana, land property registry based on the blockchain
http://www.dreambitcoinfoundation.org/ - Blockchain services and merchant solutions - Ghana
http://www.pmcedi.com/ - wallet/exchange for different digital currencies, Ghana
https://bitsoko.io/ - Mobile wallet provider - Kenya
http://www.umati.io/ - Blockchain advisory firm - Kenya (unknown vhost)
http://cubebucks.com/ - Mobile wallet service, South Africa

If you know the fate of one or more of these companies or possible new sites/alternatives, you can post here.

(PS: Bitland works, only that it is reported as insecure when accessed via HTTPS. Added it above.)

This is a good thread however the two exchanger listed in Nigeria are not familiar. instantgold.ng seems to be one of the oldest  amd most trusted exchanger in Nigeria. they have operated successively for more than decades and Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange is one of the fastest transaction i have made before in nigeria. you get your fiat through bank with 5 hours you make the order and their customer service is very fast. ones you visit the site. a customer representative join you to discuss what you intend to do.

golix-withdraw - SCAM! please, remove urgently from the cap!
