You can buy Bitcoin with M-Pesa on Coinwaka, and you do not need to buy a whole coin. Enter the amount of Kenyan Shillings you want to spend and Coinwaka shows how much BTC that buys.

Steps

  1. Sign in. Make sure your email and phone are verified.
  2. Choose KES and select Bitcoin.
  3. Select M-Pesa as your payment method.
  4. Enter the amount in KES. Buy any amount, from a small fraction of a BTC.
  5. Confirm the rate and fees shown before you pay.
  6. Approve the M-Pesa payment. Once confirmed, Bitcoin is credited to your wallet.

Bitcoin moves fast

Bitcoin is volatile, so the rate can change quickly. Coinwaka locks the rate for the quote window and shows it before you confirm, so you always know what you will receive. Only buy what you are comfortable holding.
