Before linking an account, make sure that your account is verified. Freelancer's personal data is a mandatory requirement for transfers to a Nigerian bank account.

  • To check the verification status or start account verification, go to Profile page by clicking to your name in the Menu.

Linking a national currency account

To link a Nigerian bank account, go to Finances, select tab Payment methods, and click Bank account.

Important! The freelancer's name must match those of the account's beneficiary. The bank account must be denominated in the national currency. If you link a bank account opened in USD, the payout fails or a payout can be credited in NGN to the other bank account opened by you in in the same bank in local currency .

An SMS with a confirmation code will be sent to your phone. After you enter the code, provide the bank account details:

  • Choose your bank in the Bank drop-down menu. The list of supported banks see in the table below.

  • Fill in the Bank account number. Type of the account must be NUBAN and contain 10 digits.
