Bankless Bitcoin, a crypto services provider expanding in East Africa, will soon install its first Bitcoin ATM at Two Rivers Mall in Nairobi. The announcement follows growing interest in accessible crypto services across the region. This marks a notable step in making crypto more tangible for everyday users.
Bankless Bitcoin has built a reputation for rolling out secure and user-friendly crypto access points. Their ATMs allow users to buy and sell Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies using cash, no card needed. The process is straightforward: users create a Bankless Bitcoin account, handle cash at the ATM, and receive crypto directly.
The Two Rivers Mall ATM is expected to expand that convenience. The location is one of Nairobi’s busiest retail and entertainment complexes, attracting a wide mix of tech-savvy shoppers, young professionals, and mall-goers. Having a crypto ATM there means users can access digital currencies on the go, something that previously required navigating mobile apps or crypto exchanges.
Though details on fees and supported crypto options haven’t been revealed, Bankless Bitcoin’s ATMs typically provide an in-built wallet and a clear QR-code interface. Users scan their wallet code, insert cash, whether in Kenyan shillings or dollars, and complete the transaction in minutes. This quick, offline process can reduce reliance on smartphones or internet-based platforms
While crypto adoption in Kenya is gaining momentum, Bitcoin ATMs remain rare across Africa. As of early 2025, CoinATMRadar reported only 25 ATMs continent-wide, with just one located in Kenya, in Nairobi. This new ATM at Two Rivers Mall will be among the very few physical access points available locally.
Bankless Bitcoin aims to scale its network across East Africa, offering more gateways for crypto access. The arrival of an ATM at Two Rivers Mall could spark broader adoption by making crypto transactions feel as familiar as using a cash ATM.
