Provider quote

Direct Mobile Money and P2P are not the same thing

Direct

The provider generates the quote and controls the transaction flow.

P2P

Another user or merchant sets the exchange rate and receives or sends the Mobile Money payment.

Stablecoin platform

The user holds or transfers stablecoins and converts them through the provider's supported local rails.

Users should compare these as different products rather than treating every "MTN → crypto" option as identical.

Published fee examples

Binance Direct Mobile Money

Current published Uganda buy fee: 2%
Current published Uganda sell fee: UGX 3,500

These are direct Mobile Money product fees, not Binance P2P fees.

Eversend

Mobile Money funding: UGX 460
Mobile Money payout: UGX 1,000
Bank payout: UGX 5,400

Crypto conversion uses a live rate plus a margin shown before confirmation.

Virtual-asset regulation in Uganda

Uganda's Financial Intelligence Authority now treats Virtual Asset Service Providers as accountable persons under the Anti-Money Laundering framework. VASPs are required to register with the FIA and comply with applicable AML/CFT obligations. FIA registration should not automatically be described as a general operating licence or a government endorsement, and provider inclusion on CryptoPayAfrica does not represent regulatory approval.
