VALR is a game changer for crypto in Africa! From seamless onboarding to an intuitive interface, VALR makes crypto trading easy—even for beginners. I love the wide asset selection, transparent fees, and top-tier security. DeFi lending and futures trading work flawlessly, and the ability to earn interest on ZAR balances is a huge plus. Support is responsive and professional. VALR is constantly improving, and it shows. Easily one of the best platforms I've used. Highly recommended!
