Your account

In short

One account per person. Keep your PIN to yourself.

To open an account you must be 18 or over, live in Nigeria and have a Nigerian phone number. You can only have one personal account.

You're responsible for what happens on your account, so keep your PIN, passcode and phone safe. Tell us straight away if you think someone else has used it.

03

Checking who you are

In short

We ask for ID because the law says we must. More checks unlock higher limits.

We have to know who our customers are. We'll ask for your NIN or BVN and a quick selfie check, and for higher limits an ID document and proof of address. Each level you complete raises how much you can move.

  • Tier 1: NIN or BVN and a selfie check. Up to ₦50,000 per payment and ₦300,000 a day.
  • Tier 2: both NIN and BVN and a selfie check. Up to ₦500,000 per payment and ₦2,000,000 a day.
  • Tier 3: Tier 2 plus a government ID and proof of address. Up to ₦5,000,000 per payment and ₦25,000,000 a day.

04

Fees

In short

1.5% each for buyer and seller on a deal. We always show the fee first.

On each deal the buyer pays 1.5% and the seller pays 1.5% of the deal amount, unless you agree in the deal that one side pays the full 3%. Card deposits and withdrawals may have their own fee.

We show every fee on screen before you confirm. If we change our fees we'll tell you at least 30 days before.

05

What you can't use KetaPay for

In short

No illegal goods, no scams, no money laundering. See Schedule A.

You can't use KetaPay to break the law, to deceive anyone or to buy or sell anything listed in Schedule A. If you do, we can stop a deal, hold the money and close your account, and we may have to tell the authorities.

06

Freezing or closing your account

In short

You can close your account at any time once your deals are finished.

You can close your account in the app once you have no active deals and your balance is empty. We can freeze or close your account if we have to by law, if we suspect fraud, or if you break these terms. We'll tell you why unless the law stops us.

07

If something goes wrong

In short

We're responsible for our own mistakes, not for the quality of what you buy.

If money goes missing because of our mistake, we'll put it right. We aren't the buyer or seller in your deal, so we're not responsible for the quality of goods or services, though the Escrow Agreement explains how we help when there's a dispute.
