How do I sign up for a Luno account?

Once you’ve joined Luno, you’ll be able to buy, sell, store, send and receive Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. If you haven't already, the steps in this article will help you sign up for a Luno account.

To sign up for a Luno account

On the mobile app

  1. Download the Luno app from the Google Play or App Store

  2. Select Profile from the menu

  3. Tap Sign in, and on the next screen, CREATE ACCOUNT

  4. Follow the prompts from there to sign up

Once you’ve signed up, we’ll send you an email with a link to confirm that you have access to the email address you’ve signed up with.

On the web

  1. Go to www.luno.com and select the CREATE ACCOUNT button in the top right corner of the home page

  2. Enter your email address 

  3. Create a strong, secure password

  4. Select LET'S GO

Note

Your password must contain more than 8 characters, at least 1 symbol & number, and at least 1 uppercase letter.

Keep in Mind

We don’t accept Gmail, Hotmail, or Outlook addresses that contain "." (period) or "+" characters in the email prefix (the part before the @). For example:

  • your.email@gmail.com 🚫
  • youremail+alias@gmail.com 🚫
  • youremail@gmail.com ✅

If your email wasn’t accepted, simply remove any "." or "+" characters from the prefix, and it should work.

Gmail, Hotmail, and Outlook ignore periods in the email prefix. This means that your.email@gmail.com and youremail@gmail.com are considered the same inbox.

Tip

If you don’t see the email in your inbox, check your spam folder. If you find the email there, you may want to add Luno to your address book to ensure that you never miss notifications from us.
