Paybis Review: 7 Key Things to Know About This Digital Currency Exchange

by | May 3, 2019 | Exchange | 6 comments

Today’s review is on Paybis, a digital and cryptocurrency exchange.

It is one of the top e-currency exchanges available for Nigerians.

I discovered Paybis when I needed to exchange Neteller for Naira. The e-currency exchanges in Nigeria that offer this service charged too much in transaction fees.

I went through Paybis; converted Neteller to Bitcoin, send it to my Quidax bitcoin wallet, converted it to naira there, and withdrew. I still got a better rate through this process.

So, in this article, I will be giving a total review of Paybis and also how you can buy Bitcoin with e-currencies.

If you are ready, let’s get started.

Heads up!!

If you are in Nigeria, you will be unable to use the Credit/Debit card option to buy cryptocurrencies.

This is due to the CBN Ban in February 2021.

However, there are other ways to bypass the ban and still trade crypto. Check them out here.


1. Paybis Overview

Paybis is a broker exchange that allows users to convert different types of currencies.

It was launched in 2014 in Latvia. The founder is Innokenty Isers.

Paybis is registered in the UK. It has a Money Services Business Registration issued by the USA.

This platform does not support the storage of cryptocurrencies or e-currencies.

It only functions as a gateway for users to switch between different currency types.

Hence, users will require an external wallet.

The goal is to help people transfer funds between different payment systems quickly and with little stress.

In the next section, we’ll see the features and services of Paybis.

For Credit/Debit card transactions, Paybis commission does not apply the first time.

      Hello Jeremiah,
      You can no longer buy crypto in Nigeria using card.
      You have to do that via P2P.

      Hello Funmi, sorry about that.
      I failed to update the post with the latest information.
      For Nigerians, the Credit/Debit card option is no longer available following the CBN crypto ban.
      The only way to buy crypto for Nigerians now is via P2P or these other ways.

    I saw this blog and I fell in love with the concept but I was worried a bit that this blog only promote Foreign exchanger but not a local exchange platform or maybe the founder and the reader of the blog don’t know in Nigeria we have stable international standard exchanger. The exchanger is P2P. Can someone just study and write review on the exchanger the name is http://www.acunarhub.com actually I have traded on it without any issues but better people in the crypto space should review that platform.

    Regards
