Frequently asked questions

Which exchanges accept Credit or debit card in Central African Republic?

Of the 3 exchanges we recommend in Central African Republic, Binance, Coinmama, Paxful accept Credit or debit card for funding purchases.

Is buying bitcoin with Credit or debit card legal in Central African Republic?

The legal picture is genuinely unclear. The Central African Republic adopted bitcoin as legal tender in April 2022, then repealed that status in March 2023 as a condition of an IMF credit facility, keeping a narrower law that treats crypto as an asset rather than money. Meanwhile the Bank of Central African States (BEAC) and the regional banking regulator restrict banks across the CEMAC zone from crypto exposure, so national law and regional monetary rules pull in opposite directions.
