Busha in Kenya
By James Mwangi · Crypto hub
Busha is an African crypto exchange, originally strong in Nigeria and expanding. It offers a simple app for buying and selling major coins with local rails. For Kenyans, treat it as a lightweight alternative to Yellow Card or Luno for a beginner buy.
How to start
Sign up, KYC, fund your account with a supported route, and buy. Confirm current M-PESA support in the app since regional coverage can shift.
Fees
Spread-based, competitive for a first buy, worse than Binance P2P at any scale. Compare rates before you commit.
Where it fits
As a second on-ramp or a backup, not a primary exchange for a Kenyan crypto user.
Frequently asked
