Luno is a trading platform for storing, buying and selling cryptocurrency. The exchange is available for users in South Africa, Malaysia, Nigeria, and Indonesia, and only for Bitcoin and national currencies. They pride themselves on their network's speed, ease of use, and security.
The Luno exchange is easy to use, but for beginners it might be easier to use the Instant Buy/Sell feature, which is also available in Europe. The platform's design is user-friendly and looks professional, and the same can be said about the mobile apps.
