About company
Busha

Busha is creating a new financial system for Africa where people and businesses can access, save, move, and grow wealth. Founded in 2019, the company was built on the belief that the traditional financial system often excludes African markets, leaving individuals and businesses locked out of global opportunities.

The company started by making cryptocurrency simple and safe to access, becoming the first digital asset platform licensed by Nigeria's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This regulatory compliance underscores Busha's commitment to trust, security, and data protection under NDPR standards.

Today, Busha offers an all-in-one platform for individuals to invest in digital assets, save in stablecoins, and access new wealth-building tools. For businesses, Busha is building stablecoin infrastructure to support treasury management, payments, and cross-border transactions across Africa and beyond.

With over 1 million users, Busha combines best-market pricing, 24/7 human support, and maximum security to deliver a seamless experience. The platform is backed by leading global investors and driven by a mission to unlock true economic freedom for Africans in the digital economy.
