Frequently asked questions

Which exchanges accept P2P trades with escrow in Uganda?

Of the 3 exchanges we recommend in Uganda, Binance accepts P2P trades with escrow for funding purchases.

Is buying bitcoin with P2P trades with escrow legal in Uganda?

Buying and holding bitcoin is not illegal in Uganda, but it is unsupported: the Bank of Uganda has warned repeatedly that cryptocurrencies are unregulated, and in 2022 it directed licensed payment service providers under the National Payment Systems Act not to facilitate crypto transactions. No licensing regime for exchanges exists, so residents trade on foreign platforms and P2P markets at their own risk.
