Real-World Money

Bitcoin that reaches the real world

Pay in store, shop at thousands of brands, or send money to a phone number in Africa. It arrives as local currency, and the other side never needs a Bitcoin wallet.

Money on their phone. No app on their end.

Type a phone number in Kenya, Zambia, Tanzania or Ghana. BuhoGO recognises the country and operator, you confirm with one tap, and the money arrives as local currency on their mobile money account.

  1. 1Type the number
  2. 2Confirm the country
  3. 3Money lands on their phone

Receipt link and delivery confirmation where the network provides it.
