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!

User friendly app. Simple and quick registration process. The menus are very intuitive and easy to navigate. There are multiple trading options even for more experienced traders. Security is excellent and there is user protection with futures trading being made completely separate to avoid novice traders from making trades they will regret.
