If you are one of the crypto-coin investors asking one or all of these questions, this post is written for you. This post will show you how to transfer money from Blockchain to bank account in Nigeria, and answer the other related questions.
How to Transfer Money from Blockchain to Bank Account In Nigeria
NairaEX used to be the best option went it comes to buying and selling Bitcoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, and others; in recent time, Luno appears to be perfect. To use the exchanger to transfer money from Blockchain to bank account in Nigeria, you first need to register and fund your Luno wallet.
You can then use the wallet to buy and sell Bitcoin, and get money to the local Nigerian banks.
When registering an account, Luno has 3 levels of verification based on the documents provided for verification. If you verify your account with your phone number, you are limited to NGN200,000 account balance; Luno calls this Level 1 verification.
The Luno’s Level 2 verification requires you to supply any form of identification issued by the government. It could be your National ID card, voters card, drivers license or international passport. The Level 2 is limited to NGN500,000 account balance.
To be on the Level 3, the documents required include either your utility bill or bank statement. You are entitled to an account balance of NGN10 million in this level.
Note: The Luno’s account balance limit means the total sum of money you can withdraw or deposit in your account in a month. You can have Bitcoin as much as possible.
Before I show you how to transfer money from Blockchain to bank account in Nigeria, let me start with how to fund your Bitcoin wallet in Luno.
Funding Bitcoin Wallet with Luno

- Get your Master or VISA card, and ensure the card is internet banking ready (that is, it can be used for an online transaction). If you aren’t sure your card can do an online transaction, go to your bank to confirm – or activate it
- After registering on Luno, go to Menu, and then click on Wallets
- Then choose NGN wallet
- The click on PayU Debit or Credit Card. You can as well click on GT Collections Deposit if your ATM card is issued by GTBank
- Then enter the sum of money you want to fund, click Next, and then click Continue
- After clicking Continue, you would be redirected to PayU’s website
- On the PayU’s website, click on Card Payment and enter your card number, holder’s name, and expiration date
