# Supported countries and currencies in Africa

> Who can sell with Crosspoint, the African countries we cover, how you get paid in each, and the currencies you can price in.

Crosspoint is built for people selling from Africa. If you live in any of the 54 African countries, you can sign up, sell, and get paid out in your local currency or in stablecoin.

## Who can use Crosspoint

Two things need to be true:

* **You live in Africa.** The country in your personal details must be an African country.
* **Your organization is in Africa.** The country of your organization must also be an African country.

You can sell as an individual or as a registered business. Your customers can be anywhere.

## Countries

All 54 African countries are supported. We group them by region below.

| Region | Countries |
| - | - |
| North Africa (6) | Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia |
| West Africa (16) | Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Côte d'Ivoire, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo |
| Central Africa (9) | Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, São Tomé and Príncipe |

| Southern Africa (5) | Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa |

## How you get paid

You're paid in your local currency, or in stablecoin if you prefer. We never pay out in US dollars.

| Where you are | Get paid to |
| - | - |
| Nigeria | Your bank account, in naira |
| Every other African country | Your mobile money wallet, in your local currency |
| Anywhere in Africa | A stablecoin wallet, in USDT or USDC (on request) |

Your balance is tracked in US dollars so sales in different currencies add up in one place. When we send a payout, we convert it to your local currency at the exchange rate on the day we send it. Stablecoin payouts are sent in USDT or USDC. See [Payout accounts](https://staging-docs.crosspoint.finance/africa/payout-accounts.md).

## Currencies you can price in

Each organization has a **default payment currency**: the currency your prices are set in and your customers are charged in. It can be US dollars (USD), which is the default, or one of the African currencies below. Whichever you choose, you're still paid out in your local currency.

| Code | Currency |

| AOA | Angolan kwanza |
| BIF | Burundian franc |
| BWP | Botswana pula |

### Pricing in these currencies isn't available yet

Card payments are processed in a fixed set of currencies, and these aren't in it yet, so they can't be your default payment currency:

* Ghanaian cedi (GHS)
* Sierra Leonean leone (SLE)
* Tunisian dinar (TND)
* Libyan dinar (LYD)
* Sudanese pound (SDG)
* South Sudanese pound (SSP)
* Eritrean nakfa (ERN)
* Mauritanian ouguiya (MRU)
* São Tomé and Príncipe dobra (STN)
* Zimbabwe gold (ZWG)

> [!NOTE]
>
> These countries are fully supported. Sellers there sign up, sell and get paid like everyone else: set your prices in USD (or another currency from the list), and you're still paid out in your local currency, for example cedis in Ghana, or in stablecoin.

Payout limits are measured in US dollars, whatever currency you're paid in. See [Payout limits](https://staging-docs.crosspoint.finance/africa/payout-limits.md) for the numbers.

## Next steps

* [Verify your identity](https://staging-docs.crosspoint.finance/africa/identity-verification.md) so you can get paid out.
* [Add a payout account](https://staging-docs.crosspoint.finance/africa/payout-accounts.md): a bank account in Nigeria, a mobile money wallet everywhere else, or a stablecoin wallet.
* Read about the [account review](https://staging-docs.crosspoint.finance/africa/account-reviews.md) before your first payout.
