It’s more than just a crypto exchange, it's a lifestyle app engineered for freedom, access, and opportunity.
The Rise of Roqqu
Launched in 2019, Roqqu has grown into one of Africa’s most trusted cryptocurrency platforms. With over 5 million users across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and expanding into Europe, Roqqu’s mission is simple: Make crypto and financial services accessible to everyone.
From buying and selling crypto to making payments, investing, and earning, Roqqu is designed for the modern African who wants speed, security, and simplicity in financial transactions.
Seamless Crypto Experience
At its core, Roqqu is a crypto exchange. But not just any exchange, it’s built for the average user. In less than five minutes, anyone can sign up, verify their identity, and start buying Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 100 other cryptocurrencies.
With an intuitive user interface and real-time data, users can track prices, execute trades, and manage their portfolio without feeling overwhelmed. The Roqqu Wallet supports both fiat and crypto, giving you the power to switch between digital assets and local currencies with ease.

Gone are the days of slow and expensive cross-border payments. With Roqqu, you can send and receive crypto instantly across Africa and the globe. Whether you're supporting family, paying freelancers, or sending business payments, Roqqu removes the friction.
And here’s the kicker: No delays, no intermediaries, no exorbitant fees.
Plus, users can generate custom payment links, share QR codes, and receive funds in their wallet from anyone, even if the sender isn’t using Roqqu.
The Power of Roqqu Pay
In 2023, Roqqu launched Roqqu Pay, a payment infrastructure that bridges crypto and commerce. Now, anyone can use crypto to pay for goods and services, online or offline.
Whether you're a vendor selling fashion items or a creative offering services, you can integrate Roqqu Pay into your website, app, or even your Instagram store.
Benefits for Merchants:
Get paid in crypto or fiat.
Zero chargebacks.
Instant settlement.
Easy integration.
For consumers, Roqqu Pay opens the door to spending crypto like cash — at restaurants, online stores, and service platforms that accept Roqqu.
Roqqu and the Creator Economy
Beyond finance, Roqqu understands the heartbeat of Africa’s youth: creativity and entrepreneurship.
That’s why it introduced tools to help content creators, digital freelancers, and small businesses receive international payments without relying on outdated systems like SWIFT or PayPal.
With just a Roqqu username or link, clients from around the world can pay directly in crypto, fast and secure. Whether you’re a YouTuber in Accra, a designer in Lagos, or a TikTok star in Nairobi, Roqqu gives you the tools to monetize your audience globally.
Security and Regulation
Trust is earned, and Roqqu understands this. The platform uses bank-grade security, two-factor authentication, and biometric access for mobile users.
Roqqu is licensed as a Virtual Asset Provider in the EU, a major milestone that gives users confidence in the platform’s credibility and global ambition.
With full compliance and proactive security protocols, users can sleep easy knowing their funds are safe.
Going Global: Roqqu in Europe
Roqqu made headlines in 2023 when it expanded into over 30 European countries, including the UK, Germany, France, and the Netherlands.
This bold move is part of Roqqu’s vision to connect Africa to the world, not just financially, but digitally. Now, Africans in the diaspora can send money home, invest in local businesses, and interact with the African economy in a modern, efficient way.
Imagine a Nigerian student in Berlin topping up their brother’s Roqqu wallet in seconds. Or a Ghanaian artist in Paris receiving direct crypto payments from their client in Johannesburg. That’s the power of Roqqu’s borderless ecosystem.
