Frequently asked questions
What are the minimum and maximum buy or sell limits?
You can visit Luno’s fees and limits in Kenya to see the minimum and maximum instant buy/sell limits for each of our supported crypto assets.
Are there any fees?
Our instant buy/sell feature has 0% fees.
What can I do if instant buy/sell is unavailable?
Instant buy/sell streamlines your trading experience by automatically sourcing and aggregating the best available quotes from the Luno Exchange.
If you get an error message stating that “instant buy/sell is not available,” it likely means that there isn’t enough liquidity on the Exchange to fulfill your order at that moment.
In such cases, you can either try again later or place a limit order directly on the Luno Exchange to wait for your preferred price.
