How to sell Bitcoin in Nigeria, step by step
- Step 1
Prepare your account and bank payout details
Complete the account checks shown to you and save a Nigerian bank account that you control and recognise. Payouts in Nigeria are made to a bank destination, not to a mobile wallet.
- Step 2
Choose Bitcoin and enter the BTC amount
Open Sell, select Bitcoin (BTC), and enter the amount you intend to sell. Read any minimum shown before you continue with an external deposit.
- Step 3
Choose how to fund the sale
Use an available ebitpoint BTC balance or choose an external wallet deposit. These are separate paths, so follow only the instructions shown for the option you select.
- Step 4
Review the live NGN quote and payout destination
Check the BTC amount, the current naira payout, the selected bank destination, and any fee or timing information together before creating the order.
- Step 5
Complete the funding path you chose
A wallet-funded order uses your available ebitpoint balance. For an external deposit, send BTC only to the address that order displays while its deposit window is active, and keep the transaction hash.
- Step 6
Track confirmation and payout
Follow the order page as an external deposit is detected and confirmed, or as a wallet-funded order moves forward. The completed status confirms the payout has been sent to your bank destination.
Decide how the sale will be funded first
Every Bitcoin sale on ebitpoint is funded one of two ways: from a BTC balance already in your ebitpoint account, or from a transfer you send in from an outside wallet. The choice changes what you have to do next, so make it deliberately rather than following whichever instruction appears first.
A wallet-funded sale is the simpler path because no blockchain transfer is involved on your side. An external deposit adds a transfer you are responsible for getting right, including the network and the deposit window.
Read the naira payout, not the headline rate
The rate shown on a marketing page is a reference point. What matters is the order preview, which shows the exact BTC amount leaving your side and the exact naira amount arriving at your bank. Read those two numbers together before you confirm anything.
Bitcoin prices move continuously. A preview that has been open for a long time may no longer reflect the current market, so refresh it and read it again rather than confirming from memory.
Send to the order's address, and only while it is active
If you chose an external deposit, the order displays a deposit address and network. That address belongs to that order. Sending to an address from an older order, a screenshot, or a message from someone else breaks the link between your transfer and the payout you expect.
Send the asset the order asks for, on the network the order names, within the deposit window it shows. Keep the transaction hash: it is the fastest way for Support to find a transfer if anything looks wrong.
Follow the status rather than guessing
Once the order exists, its page is the record. An external deposit has to be seen on the blockchain and then reach the confirmations the network requires before the sale can settle, and that waiting period is normal.
If something does not match the payout you expected, contact Support from inside your signed-in account with the order reference. That keeps the conversation attached to the right order without exposing account details in a public channel.
