Getting started with crypto in Ghana

How to set up an account, choose an asset, and review your first purchase before confirming it.

Start with a goal, not a trend

Before you buy any crypto, decide what you want it to do for you. You may be learning how a wallet works, making a small purchase, or preparing to send funds. A clear goal makes it easier to choose the right action and avoid rushed decisions.

Crypto prices can move quickly. Only use money you understand the risk of losing, and take time to review the amount and the asset before you confirm a transaction.

Set up the essentials

Create your ebitpoint account with an email address you control, then use a strong, unique password. Turn on two-factor authentication in your account settings before adding funds or making a transaction.

Keep your recovery details private. ebitpoint support will not ask for your password, one-time code, or wallet recovery phrase.

Make your first transaction carefully

Use the Buy flow to review the applicable rate, the amount you will pay, and the crypto you will receive. If you are sending crypto, always check the recipient address and network before confirming; blockchain transfers generally cannot be reversed once processed.
