Who we are
We are a small, independent editorial team that follows crypto-assets in Morocco. We track the rules set by Bank Al-Maghrib, the AMMC and the Office des Changes, the progress of draft law 42.25, how the peer-to-peer market really works in dirhams, and the risks ordinary users face. We are not an exchange, a broker, a bank or a financial adviser. We do not hold, transfer or manage anyone’s money.
The site started from a simple observation. A search for “how to buy Bitcoin in Morocco” in Arabic mostly returned news from 2017. French guides still pointed to services that had shut down, and English pages were often templates with the country name swapped in. Moroccan readers deserved better.
Our mission
Our goal is to help people in Morocco make informed decisions about crypto, including the decision not to buy any. Concretely, that means:
- explaining the legal position in plain language, including what is still uncertain;
- showing how people actually buy and sell crypto in Morocco, with real prices, banks and payment methods, dated;
- warning about scams and practices that can lead to a frozen account or a notice from the Office des Changes;
- covering each city with its own context, from Tangier’s ferry link to Oujda’s closed border.
How we research
Every page starts from primary sources wherever they exist: statements from the Office des Changes, Bank Al-Maghrib and the AMMC, FATF reports, official exchange legal pages and fee schedules. We add Moroccan and international press coverage, and we mark sources that come from aggregators, maps or forums as unofficial.
Numbers that change, such as P2P prices, ad counts or fees, always carry the date of our check. When we cannot confirm something, we say so plainly instead of guessing. We never invent a Bitcoin ATM, a licence, a tax rate or a religious ruling. Our full process is described on the how we review page.
Independence
We have no partnership, affiliation or sponsorship with CEX.IO, Binance or any other exchange, wallet or crypto company. No company pays to appear in our rankings or to change what we write. Where we mention an exchange, we describe its licences and its limits for Moroccan users factually, including the downsides. Outbound links to commercial sites are marked nofollow.
Nothing on this site is investment, legal or tax advice. Crypto-assets are volatile and their status in Morocco is unsettled; read our terms and disclaimer before relying on any page.
Three languages, written natively
Arabic is our main language, followed by French and English. We do not translate pages sentence by sentence. Each version is written for its readers: Arabic for the broad Moroccan public, French in the register of the Moroccan business press, and English for expats, Moroccans abroad and visitors. The facts are the same in all three; the examples and questions differ.
Corrections and contact
If you spot an error, an outdated price or a broken link, please tell us. We correct factual mistakes quickly and update the date on the page. You can reach the team at contact@crypto-morocco.com; the contact page explains what we can and cannot help with. We will never contact you first by direct message, and we will never ask you to send funds.
