m-Gurush shows up in South Sudan as part of how people buy bitcoin locally, even though none of the exchanges we track lists it as a direct funding rail. The country guides below explain what that looks like in practice.
What is m-Gurush?
m-Gurush is one of the first mobile money services licensed in South Sudan, operated from Juba by Trinity Technologies Limited and used on Zain SIM cards. Customers register and transact on the *355# short code or in the app, and the wallet covers agent cash in and cash out, wallet to wallet transfers, bank transfers, bill and electricity payments, and outbound remittances to Kenya, Uganda and other African markets. Accounts can hold South Sudanese pounds and US dollars. Electronic money in South Sudan sits under the Bank of South Sudan's Electronic Money Regulation, 2017.
- Speed
- The operator describes transfers as instant, and an agent deposit credits the wallet as soon as the agent confirms it.
- Cost
- m-Gurush publishes no tariff table online and refers customers to its agents and service centres, so read the charge quoted on screen before you confirm.
- Limits
- The operator states a maximum wallet balance of SSP 6,000,000.
Speed and cost describe the rail itself. What an exchange adds on top varies by platform and is shown per exchange below.
