How to buy bitcoin with CFA Franc on Noons?

The first thing to do is use the search bar. This will allow you to refine your search. On LocalBitcoin , you could choose your preferred currency. However, the site has closed down. That's why we recommend using Noones . In this example, we chose the CFA franc, so we opted for XOF, which is the official currency designation for the CFA franc.

You don't have to choose the country, because basically bitcoin is borderless. To follow the example, we put the Ivory Coast. If this is your first time, it might reassure you to negotiate with people who live in your country. That's up to you.

The limits represent the amount the seller has to sell.

So, to return to this example that you see in the screenshot above, we have 4 proposals.

2/ Choose your payment method

Yes, it's up to you to decide which payment method you want.

For example, today we have these 4 possibilities:

  • Bank transfer via Ecobank
  • Orange Money
  • Moov Money
  • Western Union
  • Paypal

Depending on your preference, you choose the payment method that interests you the most. Once you have chosen, you click on "Buy". No worries, for now you are not buying anything. You must first chat with the sellers.

On the right you see the seller's bitcoin rate.

Then, by clicking, you will have the seller's description. In general, he gives you his phone number on WhatsApp to facilitate exchanges. Some prefer to communicate directly on the platform's chat.

If you are a beginner, this is also a good way to understand how it works.

You should also be careful of scams and only follow sellers who already have experience on the platform. Only go for sellers who already have reviews and comments.

3/ Send your payment to the buyer

Once you have agreed on the terms with the seller, you can send the CFA Francs. In fact, for security reasons, the platform uses an “escrow” system. This will block the funds until the seller has released the funds himself. The platform will inform you that the bitcoins have been released. You will receive them directly in your account on Noones. Then, you can withdraw and store your bitcoins wherever you want.

There you are, you have just bought bitcoin with CFA francs. It's not that complicated as you just saw.

So here is the tutorial for buying your first bitcoins on Noones with CFA francs. I hope this was helpful to you. If you have any questions do not hesitate. You can also do this on other platforms, the process is always the same.

  1. Hello,
    On 23/01/23 8:30 a.m. (Dakar) there is only one seller of BTC at 15 XOF via orange money while on coinmarketcap the BTC is at 088 XOF!
    Which makes around 10% fees to which must be added 1% orange money fees…
    Knowing that a SEPA transfer to Binance only costs €1 (655 CFA)…

    1. Yes, you can use Binance to reduce fees, but not everyone has SEPA…localBitcoin is for those who want to use orange money or another way. And yes, there are fees and sellers often charge higher prices.
