Tapnob Officially Launches Tapnob Addresses: Instant Lightning Bitcoin to Naira Bank Settlements Now Live in Nigeria

Fintech platform Tapnob has announced the official launch of Tapnob Addresses, a new Lightning Network feature that lets users receive Bitcoin instantly and settle it directly into their Nigerian bank accounts in Naira.

The rollout follows the company’s earlier teaser on June 5, 2026, and marks a major step forward for seamless Bitcoin-to-fiat payments in Nigeria.

What Is a Tapnob Address?

A Tapnob Address is a simple, human-readable Lightning address in the format yourname@tapnob.io. Anyone can send Bitcoin (sats) to it from any Lightning-compatible wallet.

The payment converts and settles automatically into the recipient’s linked Nigerian bank account in Naira — all in one step.

This removes the usual friction of on-ramping Bitcoin for everyday users and merchants in Nigeria.

How Tapnob Addresses Work?

According to Tapnob’s official announcement:

Send Bitcoin from popular Lightning wallets such as Blink, Cake Wallet, Wallet of Satoshi, and many others.
Payments above 4,500 sats settle instantly to your bank account in Naira.
No QR code scanning or manual wallet addresses required — just share your custom @tapnob.io address.

The feature is built on the Lightning Network for fast, low-cost transactions and integrates directly with Tapnob’s existing Bitcoin and stablecoin payment infrastructure.

Key Benefits for Nigerian Users

Instant settlement — Receive Bitcoin and get Naira in your bank account immediately.
Simple setup — Activate in under 2 minutes.
Universal compatibility — Works with any Lightning wallet worldwide.
Local focus — Currently live for Nigerian bank accounts, with more countries planned.

Tapnob’s broader platform already allows people anywhere in the world to send Bitcoin, Lightning payments, USDT, or USDC, with recipients receiving local currency instantly in their bank accounts.

How to Get Your Tapnob Address?

Getting started is straightforward:

Sign up at tapnob.com.
Go to the Receive section.
Activate your custom username.
Link your Nigerian bank account.

Once activated, share your address (e.g., yourname@tapnob.io) and start receiving payments.

Tapnob has also released a short demo video showing the full flow in action.

Growing Digital Assets Payment Infrastructure in Nigeria

Tapnob Addresses build on the company’s mission to simplify Bitcoin and stablecoin payments across Africa. The platform focuses on fast, reliable on-ramps and off-ramps between crypto and local bank accounts.

With Nigeria’s growing adoption of Bitcoin and Lightning technology, features like Tapnob Addresses are expected to make it easier for freelancers, businesses, and individuals to accept crypto payments without technical barriers.

Conclusion

The launch of Tapnob Addresses represents another practical step toward mainstream Bitcoin usability in Nigeria. By combining the speed of the Lightning Network with instant Naira settlements, Tapnob is helping bridge the gap between global crypto users and local banking systems.
