How it works

Simple to start. Clear at every step.

Here is exactly what using Numbelo is like, from opening an account to taking your money out.

  1. 1

    Open an account

    • Sign up with your name, email address and a password of at least 12 characters.
    • Switch on two-step sign-in with an authenticator app on your phone. It is required on every account, so a password on its own is never enough to get in.
  2. 2

    Confirm who you are

    • Enter your South African ID number or your passport number.
    • We store it encrypted. Our own team sees only its last four characters.
    • One ID can belong to one account only.
  3. 3

    Add Rand

    • Pay by ordinary bank transfer from an account in your own name.
    • Use your personal deposit reference, shown in the app. It is how we know the money is yours.
    • Your Rand appears once the bank tells us it has arrived.
  4. 4

    Buy and sell

    • Choose a coin and an amount. You see the coins you get, the price, our fee and the total.
    • That price is held for you for 15 seconds. Agree, and the trade happens at exactly those amounts.
    • If the price runs out, nothing is taken. You simply ask for a new one.
  5. 5

    Hold, safely

    • Every coin you own is held by a specialist custodian, not by us.
    • Each day we publish proof that the custodian holds at least what we owe, and you can check your own balance was counted.
  6. 6

    Take your money out

    • Rand goes to a bank account in your name. Coins go to an address in your saved address book.
    • We ask for a fresh code from your authenticator app each time money leaves.
    • Our target is Rand within 4 hours and coins within 60 minutes, and we publish how we really did.
