VALR is really changing how people use crypto in Africa. It's very easy to use, even if you're new to it. They have many different coins, low fees, and strong security. You can also earn money by saving or trading futures and using DeFi features. Their customer support is fast and helpful. They keep improving, and you can tell. It’s one of the best crypto apps I’ve used. I highly recommend it!

I really appreciate the vast range of crypto to choose from. The app is straightforward and the UI is easy to navigate. There are only two drawbacks for me personally. 1) The fees are insanely high and; 2) There is no option to auto-stake and this feature is preventing me from achieving maximum profit. Other than the aforementioned, this is the best platform I've used. (To the developers: keep up the good work)

I've been using VALR for a while now and it's been a great experience. The app is easy to use, and I really like how fast and simple it is to deposit and withdraw rands. Trading is straightforward, and the fees are fair. I haven’t had any problems so far, and everything works the way it should. It feels safe and reliable, which is important when dealing with crypto. Definitely one of the best local exchanges out there.
