An over-the-counter (OTC) cryptocurrency marketplace and exchange platform, CoinCola offers users secure trading services at competitive fees and exchange rates.
Using its app based platform, users can buy and sell cryptocurrencies with their local currencies via the CoinCola OTC marketplace. These includes Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), Dash (DASH), Tether (USDT) and Ripple (XRP). This purchase or sale, is done on a person-to-person (P2P) basis.
Users can also post adverts for free and are only charged a trading fee of 0.7% of the traded amount once the transaction has been completed. This is fair price when compared to other competitors like Paxful that charges 1%.
CoinCola also offers an exchange market. The platform allows users to exchange Bitcoin (BTC) and Tether (USDT) through crypto-to-crypto trading pairs, to Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Litecoin (LTC).
For this, a trading fee of 0.2% of the exchanged sum is charged. However, there is a fixed withdrawal fee.
A new feauture which allows users buy Bitcoin with gift cards has also been added. So users in Nigeria, Ghana and everywhere else in Africa can use the various gift cards to buy Bitcoin.
