Headquartered in London, UK, Luno, today stands tall as one of the world’s most powerful and trusted cryptocurrency exchange and wallet service providers. The elite team of dedicated professionals and their striving efforts to develop the emerging markets in under-developed or developing economies has made Luno earn a brand name for itself in the crypto space.
Luno entered the African market back in 2013 when it started its operations in the name of BitX. Despite being small in comparison to other globally reputed & top crypto exchanges, Luno became a hot-shot destination for the African investors because of its path-breaking technological competence clubbed with a goal-oriented strategic approach. The crypto exchange allows its global customers to buy, sell, and store Bitcoin, Ether, and other digital currencies in a secured, transparent, and open network.
As a major achievement, Luno has now become the first cryptocurrency trading exchange to be bestowed upon with a positive approval from the Securities Commission of Malaysia. The crypto exchange is keen to put in its best efforts to explore the opportunities of success in the African region. The excellent resources provided by Luno have made it earned a strong client base, which includes renowned names like Barclays, Google, Amazon, Morgan Stanley, etc.

The crypto exchange is adamant about bringing a revolution through cryptocurrencies in developing countries like Africa by making transactions convenient for every person. Marcus Swanepoel, the CEO of Luno, addressed a gathering at the AfricaCom 2019 and stated that “Africans using traditional currencies face high transaction costs, inflation and currency devaluation, exorbitant interest rates and high levels of fraud. Coupled with all this – accessing the existing system (despite many have a mobile phone and conduct other elements of their lives online) is still incredibly restrictive.”
The team of Luno is directed to help the African economy come out of its unfortunate condition by popularizing cryptocurrencies in the region and providing the best tools to take advantage of these digital currencies. At present, Luno serves more than 3 million customers in over 40 countries with its unparalleled excellence, which allows a successful execution of transactions of over $8 billion on its platform. It has the lowest transaction fees among other crypto exchanges in nigeria.
