Two ways to turn crypto or gift cards into naira. Here is what each one states, the differences that matter, and who each suits.
Nosh's column is what its own site says, checked 24 September 2026. Yesa's column is what Yesa publishes.

What Nosh offers, as it describes it, beside how Yesa handles the same thing.
| Nosh (per its site) | Yesa | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gift cards first, with crypto conversion as one feature among bills, eSIMs and flights. | Crypto and gift cards treated as equals: sell either, buy crypto, and pay bills from one balance. |
| 2 | Publishes a wallet-credit time (within a few minutes) but no bank-withdrawal time, fee schedule or coin list. | Zero sell fees and eight named coins published, with a measured bank payout median of 4.7 seconds. |
| 3 | Pays out in Ghana as well as Nigeria. | Nigeria only, with the rate on screen before you send or upload. |
Nosh: you buy and sell gift cards often, or want flights and eSIMs in the same app.
Yesa: you want crypto and gift cards treated as equals, with the rate on screen first, zero sell fees and a published payout speed.
Android or iPhone. Your naira balance, deposit addresses and gift-card screen are ready as soon as you are in.
Pick the coin or the card. The naira figure is on screen before you send anything.
Sell at the figure shown and withdraw to any Nigerian bank. Or keep the naira and buy crypto, airtime or bills from the same balance.
It depends on what you value. The differences are laid out above, each with the Yesa side beside it. Yesa is built around the rate on screen first, zero sell fees, and buying and selling in one app. Pick by the one thing that matters most to you.
Yesa charges zero sell fees on crypto and gift cards. Nosh: we could not find a published fee schedule on its website; the app may show one at the point of sale.
Yesa publishes a measured median of 4.7 seconds across 1,700 bank payouts, historical rather than guaranteed. Nosh: Credited to your Nosh wallet within a few minutes, per its FAQ; no bank-withdrawal time published.
Yes. Nothing stops you holding both apps and choosing per transaction. Many people check the naira figure in two apps before a large sale.
Yes. Buying, holding and selling cryptocurrency is legal for individuals in Nigeria. Digital assets are recognised under the Investments and Securities Act 2025, and the Securities and Exchange Commission regulates digital asset services. Crypto is not legal tender, and profits from trading may be taxable, so keep your own records of what you buy and sell. This is general information rather than legal or tax advice; the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Central Bank of Nigeria publish the current position.
