Trading products, order controls and business accounts
Sections ↑Busha’s personal trading tools include one-time purchases and conditional limit orders. A limit buy specifies the highest acceptable price, while execution depends on the market reaching a qualifying price. The reviewed instructions do not specify a universal expiry period, partial-fill policy or maximum number of open orders.[2]
Its homepage claims more than one million users and over 80 assets. These are company-reported reach measures; the inspected page does not define active traders or publish a comparable rolling exchange-volume figure. Account registrations should not be treated as executed trading activity.[23]
Product and instruction mechanics
| Feature | What the instruction does |
|---|---|
| Limit sell | Sells at the selected price or higher when execution conditions are met. Enter the asset, amount and limit, then review the confirmation. A target price does not guarantee a completed sale.Source 3 |
| Recurring buy | Set an amount, start date, frequency and end date; an optional quantity goal can also be used. The asset view retains scheduled-order details. The inspected guide does not establish a complete cancellation workflow or what happens after a missed funding event.Source 4 |
| Mobile persistence | The publisher’s Android listing says limit orders can work while the user is offline. Closing the application therefore does not itself cancel a standing instruction. This publisher claim does not establish identical functionality on every device or operating-system version.Source 33 |
| Business payments | Verified businesses accept crypto through payment links with settlement to their selected wallet. Payers need no Busha account; corporate onboarding and fees apply.Source 7 |
Busha’s Business quote engine fixes the source/target currencies and one requested amount for a limited period. The request supplies either the source amount or target amount, not both. A quote currency is a fiat valuation reference, not necessarily the asset actually held or delivered. A quote that expires must be replaced rather than assumed executable.[27]
Conversion prices and account-specific charges
Sections ↑Personal buy and sell rates are shown in the selected coin’s information view. They are Busha’s own conversion rates; a single mid-market crypto price does not establish the customer’s total cost. The inspected rate guide does not publish a universal maker/taker tariff or fixed spread. Comparing the actual amount paid with the asset received captures costs embedded in the quote.[5]
Personal external-crypto sending schedule
These figures come from the personal sending page updated 4 May 2026. Network congestion can change the displayed charge; check the final send preview. A fee denominated in BTC, ETH or USDT is a token amount, not a percentage of the withdrawal.[6]
Business API fee schedule
| Route | Published charge and scope |
|---|---|
| NGN deposits and withdrawals | Deposit: NGN150. Withdrawal: NGN107.50, including 7.5% VAT.Source 26 |
| KES deposits and withdrawals | Deposit: 1% margin. Withdrawal: KES330.Source 26 |
| Business USDT sends | BSC, Plasma and Solana: 1 USDT; ERC-20 and TRC-20: 3 USDT. These differ from the personal help schedule.Source 26 |
| Additional Nigerian payout duty | The Business FAQ adds NGN50 stamp duty to payouts above NGN9,999. This is additional to the listed NGN107.50 withdrawal charge.Source 7 |
For a hypothetical NGN100,000 business payout, those fixed charges total NGN157.50: 107.50 + 50. The principal, any currency conversion and other applicable route charges are excluded.[7]
Business quotes can incorporate external network charges. Where a payment-in or payment-out account is omitted, the documented default is the business’s own balance. An internal balance conversion and a conversion followed by external settlement can therefore have different cost components.[27]
Money in, internal balances and withdrawal routes
Sections ↑Funding and delivery processes
| Route | Credit or completion condition |
|---|---|
| External crypto deposit | Choose the supported asset and use its current receive address or QR code. Sending an incompatible asset can cause permanent loss. Internal Busha transfers using a Butag or registered email are described as instant and free.Source 8 |
| Pending crypto receipt | A visible pending deposit is not yet spendable. It becomes available when the required blockchain confirmations complete. The reviewed explanation does not establish one confirmation count or delivery time for every asset.Source 9 |
| Address reuse | A May 2023 migration notice promised old-address support only during a limited transition. It did not specify perpetual validity. Use the current address displayed for the selected asset/network, including when updating a saved withdrawal address at another provider.Source 10 |
| Business fiat deposit | The API workflow creates a quote and transfer, returns temporary bank details and tracks receipt through transfer status or webhooks. The details and quote have a validity period. Creating the instruction is not evidence that a bank transfer has arrived.Source 29 |
| Nigeria business rails | The current country matrix lists temporary virtual accounts, direct debit and bank-transfer deposits, with bank-transfer payouts.Source 28 |
| Kenya business rails | KES mobile money is supported for both receipt and payout. The available bank or mobile-money destination is specific to the payment route.Source 28 |
| USD business settlement | The matrix lists USDT/USDC conversion to USD with ACH, SWIFT or wire payout routes. US banking-rail coverage does not override restrictions on US persons opening a personal account.Source 28 |
The Nigerian personal agreement requires local-currency deposits from the customer’s own bank account and prohibits third-party bank withdrawals. Its business-day processing obligation is reasonable-efforts wording, not a guaranteed withdrawal deadline.[24]
Held balances, account safeguards and collateral risk
Sections ↑The personal Spot Wallet is not a bank account. The agreement describes local currency in segregated accounts at licensed financial institutions; ordinary Spot Wallet balances earn no interest. Crypto custody should not be inferred from this fiat-safeguarding description.[24]
Security and recovery controls
| Control | Documented scope |
|---|---|
| Two-factor authentication | Authenticator setup uses an email verification code and a generated secret/QR code. Preserve the recovery information securely. A password alone is not the full authentication setup described by the guide.Source 15 |
| Unexpected device message | If a device confirmation was not initiated by the customer, the guide directs them to change both Busha and email passwords, enable two-factor authentication and contact support. The message itself does not establish which account or device was compromised.Source 16 |
| Lost authenticator access | Support asks for identity evidence, including an ID selfie and a separate signed, dated request selfie. Identity verification precedes the reset. The guide does not promise a fixed recovery time or specify a universal post-reset withdrawal hold.Source 17 |
The crypto-loan FAQ grants Busha a first-priority continuing security interest in pledged collateral, including authority to manage, convert or use it for liquidity or operational purposes. Pledged coins therefore have a materially different use restriction from an unencumbered wallet balance. They cannot be withdrawn until repayment and confirmed release.[20]
Loan-to-value is the debt divided by the current collateral value. For illustration, NGN100,000 of debt against NGN200,000 of collateral is 50%; if collateral falls to NGN160,000 with debt unchanged, it becomes 62.5%. Those figures demonstrate the mechanism, not Busha’s liquidation trigger. Adding collateral or reducing debt lowers the ratio.[21]
Personal eligibility, business verification and conflicting limits
Sections ↑The personal terms cover Nigeria and Kenya, require adulthood and exclude US, UK and Canadian persons under their definitions. VPN circumvention is prohibited; corporate clients require a separate agreement.[24]
Verification progresses from email and phone/personal information to BVN or government identity evidence, then address verification for the highest stated level. A document submission is not the same as approval. The actual account status determines access, and additional checks may be needed for the intended transaction.[12]
Two published personal-limit schedules
| Dated guide | Figures as printed |
|---|---|
| Verification levels — 2 December 2025 | Level 2: NGN10 million monthly deposits and withdrawals. Level 3: NGN500 million monthly deposits and withdrawals.Source 13 |
| Withdrawal/deposit limits — 4 December 2025 | Verified: unlimited deposits, US$20,000 monthly withdrawals. Upgraded: unlimited deposits, US$500,000 monthly withdrawals. Unverified accounts show zero access.Source 14 |
These schedules differ in currency, amounts and deposit treatment. They do not form a consistent FX conversion or a guaranteed common limit. Confirm the current approved amount in the account before sizing a transfer.[13][14]
Business verification covers incorporation, directors and beneficial owners. Higher access can require an AML policy, organisation chart and relevant licence. Payment links, APIs and withdrawals require approval.[7]
Help channels, recovery requests and dispute timing
Sections ↑The authenticator-recovery guide identifies in-app support and email assistance and describes support as available 24/7. This is channel availability, not a 24-hour resolution guarantee. Supply the requested identity evidence through the official support process rather than assuming a device reset releases withdrawals automatically.[17]
The Nigerian personal agreement requires written dispute notice within 30 days after the claim or dispute arises. That is a customer-notification clock, not a complaint-resolution promise. It provides for informal engagement, Nigerian law and exclusive Nigerian courts. No alternative telephone dealing authority was established.[24]
For planned personal account deletion, the app requires email and two-factor confirmation. A request takes five days from submission, during which the customer can stop deletion in the profile settings. Deletion is a separate action from withdrawing assets or cancelling a payment instruction.[18]
Nigerian incubation status and permission boundaries
Sections ↑Nigeria’s SEC currently lists Busha Digital Limited, trading as Busha, in its Accelerated Regulatory Incubation Program participant table, with the function Digital Assets Exchange. The primary register establishes that programme status. It does not label the entry a completed unrestricted exchange licence or confer a bank-deposit guarantee.[25]
Busha’s own explanation dated 30 August 2024 describes the admission as provisional and subject to the incubation process. It said customers did not need an immediate account migration at that time. That historical onboarding explanation should not be used as evidence that all later licensing stages have been completed.[1]
Operating entities and the scope of company claims
Sections ↑Named company records
| Party | Role or identity shown |
|---|---|
| Busha Digital Limited — Nigeria | Homepage company registration RC1495049.Source 23 |
| Busha Digital Limited — Kenya | Homepage company number PVT-GYUQJAEL and data-protection registration ODPC15965.Source 23 |
| Busha Digital Ltd — Ghana | Homepage company number CS-182631123 and data-protection registration C0063527979. A named group entity does not establish general personal-account availability in Ghana.Source 23 |
These corporate and data-protection identifiers serve different purposes from SEC financial-market permissions. The inspected Nigerian programme entry applies to the named participant and specified activity; it should not be extended to every group product or country.[25]

Savings, loan servicing, records and automated authority
Sections ↑Busha Savings is an NGN/USD product using third-party deposit partners. Flexible savings allows withdrawal on demand; fixed terms of three, six, nine or twelve months release at maturity, with no early-exit option described. Minimums are NGN1,000, US$100 for flexible USD and US$50 for fixed USD. Quoted APY and daily accrual do not guarantee an unchanged future rate. The FAQ expressly says these arrangements are not bank accounts covered by government deposit insurance. Interest normally reaches the Spot Wallet and must be reinvested manually.[19]
Crypto-backed loans accept USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH and SOL collateral, subject to risk approval and account-history requirements. The FAQ describes no fixed principal maturity but monthly interest payments; rates can change. If the fiat balance cannot cover interest, collateral can be used. A missed obligation or threshold breach can lead to liquidation without prior notice. Repaying principal partly or fully is described as penalty-free; the account’s agreed thresholds and release conditions still apply.[20]
Reports and rewards
| Feature | Current documented treatment |
|---|---|
| Business statements | Business settings provide Wallet Statement by wallet and period. Reports begin no earlier than account creation and are sent by email. This establishes a business export process, not a personal-account tax package or a completed tax return.Source 11 |
| Spend cashback | Spend → Cashback Earned shows cashback history. The current history guide does not establish a universal reward rate, campaign expiry or immediate cash-withdrawal entitlement. A displayed reward should be matched to its own offer and completed transaction.Source 22 |
| Business closure | Business closure requires support. The personal five-day app-deletion process is not established for corporate accounts.Source 7 |
API and delegated access
| Credential or scope | Authority and persistence |
|---|---|
| Business API keys | Creation requires a business account, selected permissions and two-factor authentication. The public key identifies client integrations; privileged secret keys belong on the server. A secret is displayed once. Its selected authority can include transfers and recipient operations.Source 30 |
| OAuth approval | Customers approve the entire requested scope bundle or cancel it; they cannot select individual scopes within the consent screen. Reading a connection name alone does not establish its fund-moving authority.Source 31 |
| Read versus commit | balances:read and transactions:read permit observation. quotes:write can lock a price; transfers:write can move funds. Recipient-writing authority adds a separate ability to change destination records.Source 31 |
| Disconnecting OAuth | Access tokens last about one hour and are not individually revoked mid-life. Disconnecting revokes refresh access, but an issued access token may remain usable until expiry. Thirty-day sliding refresh tokens rotate on use; replay revokes their token family.Source 32 |
Ending an integration’s future access does not unwind a completed conversion or transfer. Check account activity and outstanding instructions as well as the connection status. No managed AI investment service or universal approval-before-each-action safeguard was established from the inspected API-key documentation.[30]
