Frequently asked questions

Which exchanges accept Credit or debit card issued abroad in Lebanon?

Of the 3 exchanges we recommend in Lebanon, Binance, Coinmama, Paxful accept Credit or debit card issued abroad for funding purchases.

Is buying bitcoin with Credit or debit card issued abroad legal in Lebanon?

Lebanon sits in a genuine legal gray zone. Banque du Liban warned banks and financial institutions away from cryptocurrency in a December 2013 notice and has never licensed a crypto business, but no law criminalizes individuals buying or holding bitcoin. Since the banking collapse that began in 2019, enforcement energy has gone elsewhere, and a large informal market of over-the-counter desks and peer-to-peer traders operates openly without any regulatory framework or consumer protection.
