What international transactions can I perform using gomoney? 🌍

Currently, gomoney functions primarily in Nigeria; unfortunately, this means that you will not be able to directly send to or receive money from international bank accounts.
However, with your gomoney virtual card, you can perform international card transactions, pay for your subscriptions or enjoy your online shopping spree in peace. 🛍️

gomoney is available to anyone who is at least 16 years old and meets the regulatory requirements as issued by the CBN. We've built an inclusive platform which is why once you have a Nigerian phone number, you're ready to go regardless of your citizenship, financial capacity or internet access.
Everyone who interacts with money frequently (so everyone) can use gomoney. You don't have to saddle yourself with traditional banking processes to access quality financial services.

What is Split Payment? ➗🧾

Split payment is a feature that is designed to simplify group financial commitments. This makes it perfect for dividing payments like the cost of a night out with friends, a surprise anniversary gift for your parents or shared household expenses amongst flatmates.

Who can I split a payment with? 🧑🏾🧑🏿🧑🏾🧑🏿
You can split payments with any of your gomoney contacts!
Once you're invited to a group, you're sent a prompt to either accept the invitation or reject it. This is to ensure that you're not just added to groups by people you don't know. You're also sent a prompt to pay your share of the bill; this makes it a conscious action you choose to take.

What are Payment Links? 🌐🔗

Payment links are another way for you to interact with money. With Payment links, you can send and request money from any of your contacts, even if they are outside the gomoney ecosystem.

What are Payment Pages? 🌐📃

Payment pages are what the recipients of your payment links will see. It's a page that allows them to accept the total or partial payment of your payment request. Once the link is clicked, the recipient will be guided to choose how much they'll like to send to you, provide their details and they're good to go. We recommend that they create a gomoney account to make it easier to send money to you next time. 😉
Please note that making transactions from the payment pages incurs a 1.5% fee (of the total amount the recipient chooses to send) to our payment partners.

What is Scheduled/Recurring Payments?

We adopted a tiered system to make gomoney more accessible to everyone. Here's what you need to know:

Tier 0:
To mitigate against fraud, stay within the CBN guidelines and still serve you, we created a tier 0 account. This account allows users to fund with only NGN 20,000 at a time. With this account, your daily and cumulative transaction limit is NGN 10,000 and your daily bill payment limit is NGN 1,000.

Tier 1:
Tier 1 is the default tier when you open your gomoney account. With a tier 1 account, your funding limit stays at NGN 20,000 but your daily transaction limit increases to NGN 30,000. Your daily bill payment limit also bumps up to NGN 5,000.

Tier 2:
With your BVN verified account, you become a tier 2 user, and your daily transaction limit increases up to NGN 200,000 and your bill payment allowance also increases to NGN 50,000.

Tier 3:
At this tier, your daily limit increases to NGN 2,000,000 with bill payment allowance of NGN 50,000 and a cumulative of NGN 5,000,000 (As a bonus, you receive as much as you like!)
