Step-by-Step: How to Cash Out Bitcoin to South African Rands (ZAR) on AFRIDAX

Step 1: Sign Up and Verify Your Identity

Head over to AFRIDAX and create your account. The sign-up process takes just a few minutes. You'll need to complete KYC (Know Your Customer) verification, which is a legal requirement for any regulated financial platform in South Africa. This involves:

• A valid South African ID document or passport

This is a once-off process. Once verified, your account is ready to use.

Step 2: Link Your South African Bank Account

Navigate to your profile settings and add your bank account details. AFRIDAX supports all major South African banks. This is the account where your ZAR will land when you cash out. Linking your bank is straightforward and is verified against your ID details for security.

Step 3: Transfer Your Bitcoin to AFRIDAX

If your Bitcoin (or any other additional cryptocurrency supported by AFRIDAX) is held on another wallet or exchange, send it to your AFRIDAX deposit address. This is a standard crypto transfer.

Simply copy your AFRIDAX BTC wallet address (or relevant coin address) and initiate the send from wherever your cryptocurrency currently lives.

Please note: Blockchain confirmations typically take 10–30 minutes depending on network congestion.

Step 4: Sell Your Bitcoin for Rands

Once your Bitcoin reflects in your AFRIDAX wallet, navigate to BTC/ZAR pair. You'll see the current BTC/ZAR rate. Enter the amount of Bitcoin you want to sell, you can sell a portion or your full balance.

Review the rate and confirm the transaction.

Your ZAR will be credited to your AFRIDAX ZAR balance immediately.

Step 5: Withdraw ZAR to Your Bank Account

With rands in your AFRIDAX balance, simply request a withdrawal to your South African bank account. Funds are processed via EFT to your account.
